Objective:
This study aims to analyze Sayyid Qutb’s theoretical and practical ideas regarding the nature of Islamic existence, with particular focus on his seminal work Ma‘ālim fī al-Ṭarīq (Signposts on the Road), to contribute to the understanding of contemporary Islamic thought and civilizational frameworks.
Methods:
The research employs structured qualitative content analysis based on Mayring’s (2014) method. Inductive open coding was used to identify key concepts such as Tawhid, Jahiliyyah, and Sharia, which were then organized into subthemes through axial coding. Thematic synthesis generated overarching categories linking individual ethical reform with societal reconstruction, ensuring interpretive transparency, methodological rigor, and conceptual coherence.
Results:
The findings indicate that Sayyid Qutb envisions Islamic existence as an integrated system that combines theoretical faith with practical application. He emphasizes personal devotion, adherence to Sharia, and the establishment of a vanguard group to guide societal transformation. His framework explicitly rejects violence and extremism and positions Islamic existenceas a comprehensive civilizational project in which individual behavior, social institutions, and governance are aligned with divine principles.
Conclusions:
Signposts on the Road serves both as a theoretical manifesto and a practical guide, providing a coherent model for implementing Islamic principles across personal, social, and institutional spheres. Qutb’s intellectual framework provides key insights for contemporary discussions on Islamic thought, ethical governance, and civilizational renewal, demonstrating how normative faith can be realized within the practical structures of society.
