The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna in Egypt as a response to social and political challenges facing the Muslim community. The organization aimed to promote Islamic renewal and social justice through education, charity, and political activism. Its establishment marked the beginning of a significant movement that would influence Islamic thought and politics in the Arab world and beyond, shaping contemporary discussions on Islam and governance.

The founding of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928 inspired a new wave of modern Islamist poetry, with poets like Adonis and Nizar Qabbani examining faith within a political context. Their works reflect the intersection of spirituality and socio-political struggles in the Arab world.
