From Dawah to Democracy: The Drift of the Ikhwan
The founders of Ikhwān claimed to be a da‘wah movement.
But what was their da‘wah based on?
From the start, they blurred the lines:
— Sūfī practices were tolerated.
— Shīʿī figures were praised.
— Political change was prioritized over purifying ‘aqīdah.
— Emotional speeches replaced sound scholarship.
It was never a da‘wah to pure tawḥīd or the Sunnah as understood by the Salaf.
And today?
They've drifted even further — fully immersed in democratic politics.
Forming parties, chasing elections, compromising beliefs.
Sitting in parliaments with secularists and rejecting the manhaj of the Prophets.
They claim reform — but their method is foreign to the Qur’an and Sunnah.
The religion is built on following. Innovation corrupts it. And politics divorced from revelation is destruction.
The Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) did not come with a political party.
He came with a call to pure tawḥīd, patient reform, and obedience to Allah — without compromise.
The Salaf understood this.
And that’s why Salafiyyah remains free of political ambition — focused solely on reviving hearts through truth.
So ask yourself:
Will you follow the one who builds movements — or the one who revives the manhaj of the Messengers?
