142 The Muslim Brotherhood

How complicated relations between Islamism, nationalism, and social-economic reforms could be already became clear with the Muslim Brotherhood formed in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna (1906-1949), whose Risala, a volume of political correspondence published in Cairo in 1991, is displayed here. Although Banna aimed to revive the original universal Islam, he stressed its social nature, and Egyptian wellbeing was unmistakably prominent in his ideas.
