description: "An Egyptian schoolteacher who in 1928 founded the Muslim Brotherhood and built it into one of the most influential Islamist movements on earth. His vision of Islam as total system — political, economic, social — and his call to prepare for armed struggle against colonial rule set a template that outlasted him."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Hassan al-Banna was born in Egypt on 14 October 1906 and worked as a schoolteacher and imam. After the caliphate was abolished in 1924, he founded the Muslim Brotherhood and began articulating a comprehensive ideology: Islam as the only acceptable constitution, with the Quran and Sunnah governing state, economy, and society. He called for Islamization through institutions and progressive taxation, criticized Western materialism and British imperialism, and warned Muslims not to neglect "jihad of the sword" in favor of spiritual struggle alone. He allowed a secret military wing to form within the Brotherhood, which later fought in the Arab–Israeli conflict. On 12 February 1949, the Egyptian secret police assassinated him.
