Reviews
Analysts of the Brotherhood have debated the group's evolving perspective on politics and, in particular, its relationship to the group's religious mission. In her timely and insightful account, Politics as Worship: Righteous Activism and the Egyptian Muslim Brothers , Pahwa considers this question directly and provides the most extensive take to date on the relationship between religion and politics in the Brotherhood's ideology., Offers one of the richest discussions of the Muslim Brotherhood's internal discourse, helping readers understand how Islamists interpret their actions. The author's close textual analysis makes it a valuable resource to both readers unfamiliar with the MB, and to scholars who are close observers of the movement., Substantive and methodological. Pahwa makes good use of the Arabic secondary sources about the Muslim Brotherhood in addition to analyzing primary Arabic-language material." - Samer Shehata, Colin Mackey and Patricia Molina de Mackey Associate Professor of Middle East Studies, University of Oklahoma, Pahwa unearths a fascinating history of discussions and debate -- often aimed primarily at an audience inside the organization -- over the very meaning of politics and the value of political engagement., Substantive and methodological. Pahwa makes good use of the Arabic secondary sources about the Muslim Brotherhood in addition to analyzing primary Arabic-language material., In Politics as Worship Pahwa (politics, Scripps College) reconciles the political and religious aims of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Synopsis
Why do leading Islamist movements like the Egyptian Muslim Brothers embrace electoral politics while insisting that their main goal is ?working for God,? and how do they reconcile political with spiritual goals? Expectations that tension between political and religious organizing would pull the movement apart were not realized when the Brothers achieved electoral success following Egypt's 2011 uprising. Instead, movement ?conservatives? rather than ?moderates? came to dominate political work; and political activists framed the movement's electoral mandate as both popular and divine--arguing that campaigning, policy, and legislation could all be forms of worship. To understand how the movement threaded these disparate missions, Sumita Pahwa examines the movement's internal debates on preaching, activism, and social reform from the 1980s through the 2000s. She explains how framing political work as ethical conduct, essential for building pious Muslim individuals as well as an Islamic political order, became central to the organization's functioning. Through a comprehensive analysis of texts, speeches, public communications, interviews, and internal training documents, Pahwa offers a constructivist argument for how the movement has folded religious ideals into political discourse, enabling the leadership to shift the boundaries of justifiable and righteous action. Melding these aims, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood built an influential Islamic political project and a unified identity around ?working for God.?, Despite expectations that the deeply held political and religious organizing principles at the heart of the Muslim Brotherhood would prove incompatible and contentious should the organization ever come to power, the Brotherhood succeeded in maintaining a united identity following the 2011 ousting of Hosni Mubarak and the election of a Brotherhood-majority government. To understand how the movement threaded these disparate missions, Sumita Pahwa examines the movement's internal debates on preaching, activism, and social reform from the 1980s through the 2000s. In doing so, she finds that the framing of political work as ethical conduct has been critical to the organization's functioning. Through a comprehensive analysis of texts, speeches, public communications, interviews, and internal training documents, Pahwa shows how Islamic and religious ideals have been folded into the political discourse of the Brotherhood, enabling the leadership to shift the boundaries of justifiable and righteous action.
