Qutbism (Arabic: ٱلْقُطْبِيَّةِ, romanized: al-Quṭbīyya) is an exonym that refers to the Sunni Islamist beliefs and ideology of Sayyid Qutb,[1] a leading Islamist revolutionary of the Muslim Brotherhood who was executed by the Egyptian government of Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1966.[2] Influenced by the doctrines of earlier Islamists like Hasan al-Banna and Maududi, Qutbism advocates Islamic extremist violence in order to establish an Islamic government, in addition to promoting offensive Jihad.[3] Qutbism has been characterized as an Islamofascist and Islamic terrorist ideology.[3]
Sayyid Qutb's treatises deeply influenced numerous jihadist ideologues and organizations across the Muslim world.[1][4][5] Qutbism has gained prominence due to its influence on notable Jihadist figures of contemporary era such as Abdullah Azzam, Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Saif al-Adel.[4][5][6][7] Its ideas have also been adopted by the Salafi-jihadist terrorist organization Islamic State (ISIL).[8] It was one inspiration that influenced Ruhollah Khomeini in the development of his own ideology, Khomeinism.[9]
Qutbist literature has been a major source of influence on numerous jihadist movements and organizations that have emerged since the 1970s.[1][4][5] These include the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, al-Jama'ah al-Islamiyya, al-Takfir wal-Hijra, the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria (GIA), the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), al-Qaeda, al-Nusra Front, and the Islamic State (ISIL), and others that have sought to implement their strategy of waging offensive Jihad.[1][4][5][10][11][12]
