Abstract
Purpose: Sayyid Qutb and Hasan al-Hudaybi are usually presented in the literature as each other's ideological opponents within the Muslim Brotherhood. Both leaders were imprisoned for their ideas, and during that imprisonment they both wrote a book that further expounded their ideological ideas. Many scholars claim that Hudaybi's book Du'at la Qudat (Preachers, Not Judges) is a response to Qutb's book Maʿālim fī al-Ṭarīq (Milestones) in which he explains what is wrong with Qutb's ideas. Whether this is true or not, the books have many ideological differences. Since the literature places so much emphasis on these ideological differences, the question arose if there are also ideological similarities between Qutb and Hudaybi. Qutb's book Milestones was carefully compared with Hudaybi's book Preachers, Not Judges to answer this question.
