On August 29, 1966, Sayyid Qutb was sent to the gallows by the Nasser regime of Egypt. The specific charge against him was based on his now-celebrated book, Milestones, which denounces the existing order in Muslim societies. His other works have been translated into virtually every language that Muslims read. But it was his multi-volume tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'an, Fi Zilal al-Qur'an (In the Shade of the Qur'an), to which he owes his fame. This work seeks to introduce both Sayyid Qutb and his tafsir, capturing his intellectual and spiritual background, and his methodology of explaining ...

Fawaz Gerges, one of the world's leading authorities on the Middle East, tells how the clash between pan-Arab nationalism and pan-Islamism has shaped the history of the region.

But this global community of writers, artists, doctors, musicians, museum curators, lawyers, activists, and educators of Muslim heritage remains largely invisible, lost amid the heated coverage of Islamist terror attacks on one side and abuses perpetrated against suspected terrorists on the other.
