MUSLİM BROTHERHOOD - The Foundation

Muslim Brotherhood is the biggest Islamic Organization that founded in 1928 in Egypt in Ismalia by the primary school teacher and idealist man Hasan El-Benna and his six friends. In that time , Eygpt was controlling by the UK and Benna was seeing the British oppression and colonialism which were applied on the Muslims. Benna and his friends had been determined the organization as a Muslim Brotherhood and declared the main articles of that movement;

* Reconstitution of the Caliphate (as we know the Caliphate was removed in 1924 by Mustafa Kemal Pasha's government in Turkey while they found the new republic).

* Allah is our purpose

* The prophet ( Muhammad ) is our leader. 

* The Qur'an is our constitution 

* Jihad our way and dying for Allah's cause our supreme objective.( this article would be able to
