Hassan el-Banna: When, How, and Why?… A book on the more intriguing details of the Brotherhood figures
The Muslim Brotherhood has been keen on crafting its own legend around its leadership figures by promoting simplistic stories that do not adhere to the basic principles of rational scrutiny and logical examination. They work to convey these stories as if they are undisputed truths untouched by falsehood. Among these sacred myths is the attempt to elevate the stature of the founder guide, Hassan el-Banna, and portray his assassination as a cosmic conspiracy targeting the most important figure in the Islamic world.
Several books have been written about the Brotherhood figure al-Banna, including the book “Hassan el-Banna: When, How, and Why?” by the Egyptian politician Rafat el-Saeed, one of the most vocal opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood and their dubious goals of seizing power by exploiting religion.

The Muslim Brotherhood attempts to harm the Egyptian state through incitement against the government
In this book, the Egyptian author provides readers with a perspective on Hassan el-Banna through the eyes of his political adversaries and the lens of his ideological opponent. Rafat el-Saeed continues to present his view, addressing the life and journey of Hassan el-Banna, the stages he went through, how he developed his ideas, and the impact of his upbringing, among other important details, narrated based on his point of view within the Muslim Brotherhood and regarding Imam Hassan el-Banna.
The book includes a meticulous and objective study of this controversial figure, far from sanctification, idolization, or political attacks. When, how, and why did the Sheikh and his group rise? How did they achieve this success? Why did they fall after ascending? This book answers all these questions in a neutral manner.
El-Saeed believes that the Muslim Brotherhood was a factor in the exit of the Egyptian left from the political process, attributing it to what he considers the group’s mixing of religion and politics.
