===Sayyid Qutb's View===
===Sayyid Qutb's View===
The Egyptian religious scholar and political activist, [[Sayyid Qutb]] (d. 1346 Sh./1966), remarkably developed the notion of modern Jahiliyya. In his view, all ideas, beliefs, cultures and laws in today's world are instances of Jahiliyya. In this view, Jahiliyya is one human serving and obeying another human, whereas [[Islam]] is one human serving and obeying [[God]]. Thus the two are irreconcilable, and in order to establish an Islamic society we should move from Jahiliyya to Islam.
