Egypt’s Ikhwani Rule: A Salafi Analysis of Morsi’s Rise and Fall — Lessons Written in Blood
When Muhammad Morsi and the Ikhwaan took power in Egypt in 2012, many Muslims screamed:
“The Islamic State is here!”
“The dream has arrived!”
But true Salafi scholars stayed silent — or cautious — for one reason:
They knew this was not revival.
They knew this was politics hijacking Islam, not the Prophet’s manhaj.
And just one year later…
Morsi fell.
Ikhwaan crumbled.
Egypt drowned in bloodshed, chaos, and deeper tyranny.
Here’s the Salafi analysis they don’t want you to read
The Reality Behind Morsi’s Rise:
Ikhwaan campaigned using Islamic slogans but promised to uphold democracy, not Shariʿah.
They allied with secularists, liberals, and Sufis to grab votes.
Morsi himself gave public statements promising to impose democratic values (not Sharīʿah law) on the people.
Their focus was seizing power — not calling to Tawḥīd, correcting ʿAqīdah, or establishing pure Sunnah.
No call to end grave worship.
No fight against rampant bidʿah.
No real reform of beliefs — just politics in Islamic wrapping.
What Salafi Scholars Warned:
Taking leadership without correcting the Ummah’s ʿAqīdah is a path to destruction.
The Ikhwaan are not people of Sunnah. They are people of politics and worldly ambition.
Salafi scholars taught:
Tawḥīd before leadership
Purification before mobilization
Sunnah before statecraft
Why Morsi’s Rule Collapsed So Quickly:
Because it was built on:
Coalitions with enemies of Sunnah
Delaying real Islamic reform
Ignoring the corrupt ʿAqīdah of the masses
Choosing popularity over principle
Allah exposed their daʿwah:
A daʿwah that seeks thrones without changing hearts will never succeed.
“If you aid Allah, He will aid you…”
— (Sūrah Muḥammad, 47:7)
But Ikhwaan didn't aid Allah with pure Tawḥīd — they aided themselves with politics.
Dear Muslim:
Real change doesn't start at the ballot box.
It starts with La ilāha illa Allah — deeply taught, believed, and implemented.
Ikhwaan chased the chair before fixing the prayer.
Ikhwaan chased the parliament before correcting the graves.
And they lost — because they abandoned the Prophetic method.
The Ummah’s victory is tied to ʿAqīdah and Sunnah, not revolutions and slogans.
