Reading the Books of Sayyid Qutb
Do you advise the youth to read Sayyid Quแนญb's books, and what is your opinion on Shaykh Rabฤซสฟs books about Sayyid Quแนญb, especially since some warn against them? ูู ุชูุตุญ ุงูุดุจุงุจ ุจูุฑุงุกุฉ ูุชุจ ุณูุฏ ูุทุจ ูู ุง ูู ููููู ูู ูุชุจ ุงูุดูุฎ ุฑุจูุน ูู ุณูุฏ ูุทุจ ูุฎุงุตุฉ ุฃู ุงูุจุนุถ ูุญุฐุฑ ู ููุงุ Sayyid Quแนญb is considered a literary figure.

And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned} (26:224-227). ููู ูุนุชุจุฑ ุฃุฏูุจุงู ู ู ุงูุฃุฏุจุงุก ู ู ู ูุตุฏู ุนููู ูุนูู ุฃู ุซุงูู ููู ุงููู ุนุฒ ูุฌู: " ููุงูุดููุนูุฑูุงุกู ููุชููุจูุนูููู ู ุงููุบูุงููููู *ุฃูููู ู ุชูุฑู ุฃููููููู ู ููู ููููู ููุงุฏู ูููููู ูููู *ููุฃููููููู ู ูููููููููู ู ูุง ููุง ููููุนูููููู *ุฅููููุง ุงูููุฐูููู ุขูู ููููุง ููุนูู ููููุง ุงูุตููุงููุญูุงุชู ููุฐูููุฑููุง ุงูููููู ููุซููุฑูุง ููุงููุชูุตูุฑููุง ู ููู ุจูุนูุฏู ู ูุง ุธูููู ููุง ููุณูููุนูููู ู ุงูููุฐูููู ุธูููู ููุง ุฃูููู ู ููููููุจู ูููููููุจูููู ".
