Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928 in Ismailia, Egypt, as a socio-political Islamic revivalist movement. By the late 1940s, the organization had grown significantly and was perceived as a threat by the Egyptian monarchy. On February 12, 1949, al-Banna was shot dead in Cairo by unknown assailants, widely believed to be agents of the government of King Farouk. His assassination marked a turning point in the history of political Islam in the Arab world.
Hassan al-Banna (1906–1949) was an Egyptian schoolteacher and Islamic thinker who established the Muslim Brotherhood at the age of 22. The movement rapidly expanded across Egypt and the broader Muslim world, emphasizing Islamic values, social reform, and resistance to Western colonialism. Al-Banna's writings and organizational model influenced numerous modern Islamic movements, and his assassination came amid growing tensions between the Brotherhood and the Egyptian state following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
