not knowing they had given the group further motive for assassination.Īl-Ghazali's tale was just one of many who remain unnamed and unacknowledged, but her tale took such a wide public notice when she was released from prison in 1971 because she was a woman, and no one had any idea a woman could have been treated so brutally by the state. The accused were then tortured to provide names and information about the assassination and attempts at future assassinations. In the 60's Nasir had experienced a failed assassination by the Ikhwan al-Muslimun, this resulted in thousands upon thousands of members being imprisoned under the emergency law (which still presides in Egypt to this day thanks to Sadat and Mubarek), where men and women were snatched from their homes and thrown into military prison with no warrant, allegation or even suspicion. She and a few others then created a plan to educate the youth in the matters of Islam in order to endorse a practising society and eventually establish an Islamic state. which seems to be the trend among Egyptian presidents.Īl-Ghazali describes in her book, her distaste of the Egyptian society's lacking moral conduct (having been influenced by the British) and it's rulers who seemed content at it's lack of Islamic practise. I doubt he started off bad, but he probably ended up evil. Ironically, nasir was one a member of the brotherhood too. Under Nasir's rule the brotherhood was supposedly disbanded but Al-Ghazali and two other men helped in restoring it. She swore allegiance to the founder and leader of the Muslim Brother hood, Hassan Al-Banna, only shortly before he was assassinated by Nasir's secret police. And had given her life to the cause of Islam at the tender age of 18. I had not been aware of how grievous these mistakes were until I read Zainab Al-Ghazali Al-Jubaili's memoir of her time in Prison under Nasir's reign.Īl-Ghazali was an active president of the Muslim Ladies' Group in the early sixties. and I learnt he had imprisoned quite a considerable number of Ikhwan Al-Muslimun (Muslim Brotherhood) members. Verily, Allah tests those whom He loves so that they may be elevated.When I attended a talk by Wael Ghoneim at the London School of Economics in January I was quite surprised when he briefly referred himself to the crowd as not a fan of the late President Jamal Abd al-Nasir. Zainab Al-Ghazali was only strengthened by the tests Allah put upon her. Nasser and his men indeed succeeded in breaking the bones of the true, strong Muslims, but they never broke the Muslims’ will or their trust in Allah. The evil forces of satan could not hinder her from the path of truth i.e. Zainab Al-Ghazali is still alive today and ironically, she outlived Nasser and his animalistic torturers. Alhamdulillah, she survived and was released in August 1971. However, the police would beat her again. She was forced to sit, as if in prayer, in water up to her neck for many days at a stretch on numerous occasions without any movement and then they flogged her soft swollen body again.Įvery time she was taken to the prison hospital, in an attempt to keep her alive so that they could prolong her torture, the doctors would say that she would not survive another beating. There would be urine and faeces in what little disgusting food they gave her.

They used to cast her in a room full of starving mad dogs. They would hang her by her arms and flog her constantly. Day after day, for six years, Nasser’s secret police tried to break her. She was arrested on Friday 20th August 1965 by the same regime and imprisoned for a term of six years on a false charge of conspiring to assassinate Nasser with the leaders of the Ikhwaan. In February 1964 an attempt on her life was made by a car accident during the evil and wicked regime of Egyptian President Jamal Abdul Nasser who was bent on breaking the back of the Ikhwaan using all possible methods. She came close to Imam Hassan Al Banna, the founder of the Ikhwaan and was greatly inspired by their other leaders like Imam Sayyed Qutb, Hasan Al Huzaibi and Abdul Fattah Ismail. She was greatly inspired by the performance of Ikhwaan Al-Muslimoon (Muslim Brotherhood) in the Jihad in Palestine during the regime of Farooque. At the age of twenty she laid down the foundation of Jamiat Al-Sayyidat-ul-Muslimeen, an organisation for the welfare of the women especially the poor, orphans and the underprivileged. She was brought up in a deep routed religious atmosphere. Zainab Al-Ghazali was born in 1917 in a middle class family of farmers in a village named Maitin in Egypt.
