Sayyid Qutb's brother, Muhammad Qutb (d. 1344 Sh./1965), also maintains that Jahiliyya consists in the psychological attitude of refusing to accept any guidance from God and a behavioral attitude which rejects performing in accordance with divine laws. In other words, Jahiliyya consists in whimsical judgments that may occur in any period and by any ethnicity. He held that Arab's Jahiliyya was simple and superficial, but modern Jahiliyya is based on science, research, theorization, and in general, what has come to be called progress and modern civilization. Muhammad Qutb took the twentieth century Jahiliyya to be the outcome of Jahiliyya in all periods of the Western history. In his view, the way to be liberated from the modern Jahiliyya is the liberation from its two tenets, that is, Capitalism and Communism, and the return to Islam. | Sayyid Qutb's brother, Muhammad Qutb (d. 1344 Sh./1965-6), also maintains that Jahiliyya consists in the psychological attitude of refusing to accept any guidance from God and a behavioral attitude which rejects performing in accordance with divine laws.
