Quotes from Syed Qutb:

'Indeed our words will remain lifeless, barren,devoid of any passion, until we die as a result of these words, whereupon our words will suddenly spring to life and live on amongst the hearts that are dead, bringing them back to life as well..'

'My brother, don't look back, your path has been covered with blood, and do not look here and there, and do not look except to the sky'

'Our environment, people's beliefs and ideas, habits and arts,rules and laws-- is Jahiliyyah even to the extent what we consider to be Islamic culture, Islamic sources, Islamic philosophy, and Islamic thoughts are also construct from Jahiliyyah!'

'A shaheed is someone who present his testament (shahadah) with his soul and blood that his faith is dearer to him than the world. For this reason, he exerts his soul and life in redemption to the religion of Allah.'

'Verily the index finger that testifies to the Oneneass of Allah in prayer, utterly rejects to write even a letter, endorsing the rule of the tyrant'

Syed Qutb menyatakan ini dengan berani ketika diminta memohon maaf kepada Abdel Nasir yang kemudian membawanya ke tali gantung.
