Hasan al Bana

Hasan al Bana was an Egyptian teacher and the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928. He believed that the revival of Islamic principles in society could empower the Muslim world to resist Western colonialism. Under his leadership, the organization grew to become a significant political and social force in Egypt and across the Arab world, advocating for Islamic governance and social reform. Al Bana's vision and teachings laid the groundwork for the Brotherhood's influence, which has persisted for decades, despite facing governmental crackdowns and bans in various countries.
