The beloved brotherlThe General Masul, may God keep him
The beloved brotherlsecretary of the Shura Council, may God keep him
The beloved brothersMernbers of the Shura Council, may God keep them
God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you. .. . To proceed,
I ask Almighty God that you, your families and those whom you love around you are in the best
of conditions, pleasing to God, glorified His name be.
I send this letter of mine to you hoping that it would seize your attention and receive your good
care as you are the people of responsibility and those to whom trust is given. Between your hands
is an "Explanatory Memorandum'' which I put effort in writing down so that it is not locked in
the chest and the mind, and so that I can share with you a portion of the responsibility in leading
the Group in this country.
What might have encouraged me to submit the memorandum in this time in particular is my
feeling of a "glimpse of hope" and the beginning of good tidings which bring the good news that
we have embarked on a new stage of Islamic activism stages in this continent.
The papers which are between your hands are not abundant extravagance, imaginations or
hallucinations which passed in the mind of one of your brothers, but they are rather hopes,
ambitions and challenges that I hope that you share some or most of which with me. I do not
claim their infallibility or absolute correctness, but they are an attempt which requires study,
outlook, detailing and rooting from you.
My request to my brothers is to read the memorandum and to write what they wanted of
comments and corrections, keeping in mind that what is between your hands is not strange or a
new submission without a root, but rather an attempt to interpret and explain some of what came
in the long-term plan which we approved and adopted in our council and our conference in the
year (1987).
So, my honorable brother, do not rush to throw these papers away due to your many occupations
and worries, All what I'm asking of you is to read them and to comment on them hoping that we
might continue together the project of our plan and our Islamic work in this part of the world.
Should you do that, I would be tha&il and grateful to you.
I also ask my honorable brother, the Secretary of the Council, to add the subject of the
memorandum on the Council agenda in its coming meeting.
May God reward you good and keep you for His Daw'a

Thanks be to God, Lord of the Two Worlds
And Blessed are the Pious
Subject: A project for an explanatory memorandum for the General Strategic goal
for the Group in North America mentioned in the long-term plan
One: The Memorandum is derived from:
1 - The general strategic goal of the Group in America which was approved by the Shura Council
and the Organizational Conference for the year [I9871 is "Enablement of Islam in North
America, meaning: establishing an effective and a stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim
Brotherhood which adopts Muslims' causes domestically and globally, and which works to
expand the observant Muslim base, aims at unifying and directing Muslims' efforts, presents
Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic State wherever it is".
2- The priority that is approved by the Shura Council for the work of the Group in its current and
former session which is "Settlement".
3- The positive development with the brothers in the Islamic Circle in an attempt to reach a unity
of merger.
4- The constant need for thinking and future planning, an attempt to read it and working to
"shape" the present to comply and suit the needs and challenges of the future.
5- The paper of his eminence, the General Masul, may God keep him, which he recently sent to
the members of the Council.
Two: An Introduction to the Ex~lanatorvM emorandum:
- In order to begin with the explanation, we must "summon" the following question and place it
in front of our eyes as its relationship is important and necessary with the strategic goal and the
explanation project we are embarking on. The question we are facing is: "How do you like to see
the Islam Movement in North America in ten years?", or "taking along" the following sentence
when planning and working, "Islamic Work in North America in the year (2000): A Strategic
Vision".
Also, we must summon and take along "elements" of the general strategic goal of the Group in
North America and I will intentionally repeat them in numbers. They are:
[l- Establishing an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood.
2- Adopting Muslims' causes domestically and globally.
3- Expanding the observant Muslim base.
4- Unifying and directing Muslims' efforts.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000416
5- Presenting Islam as a civilization alternative
6- Supporting the establishment of the global Islamic State wherever it is].
- It must be stressed that it has become clear and emphatically known that all is in agreement that
we must "settle" or "enable" Islam and its Movement in this part of the world. - Therefore, a joint understanding of the meaning of settlement or enablement must be adopted,
through which and on whose basis we explain the general strategic goal with its six elements for
the Group in North America.
Three: The Concept of Settlement:
This term was mentioned in the Group's "dictionary" and documents with various meanings in
spite of the fact that everyone meant one thing with it. We believe that the understanding of the
essence is the same and we will attempt here to give the word and its "meanings" a practical
explanation with a practical Movement tone, and not a philosophical linguistic explanation,
while stressing that this explanation of ours is not complete until our explanation of "the process"
of settlement itself is understood which is mentioned in the following paragraph. We briefly say
the following:
Settlement: "That Islam and its Movement become a part of the homeland it lives in".
Establishment: "That Islam turns into firmly-rooted organizations on whose bases civilization,
structure and testimony are built".
Stability: "That Islam is stable in the land on which its people move".
Enablement: "That Islam is enabled within the souls, minds and the lives of the people of the
country in which it moves".
Rooting: "That Islam is resident and not a passing thing, or rooted "entrenched" in the soil
of the spot where it moves and not a strange plant to it".
Four: The Process of Settlement:
- In order for Islam and its Movement to become "a part of the homeland" in which it lives,
"stable" in its land, "rooted" in the spirits and minds of its people, "enabled" in the live of its
society and has firmly-established "organizations" on which the Islamic structure is built and
with which the testimony of civilization is achieved, the Movement must plan and struggle to
obtain "the keys" and the tools of this process in carry out this grand mission as a "Civilization
Jihadist" responsibility which lies on the shoulders of Muslims and - on top of them - the Muslim
Brotherhood in this country. Among these keys and tools are the following:
1- Adopting the concept of settlement and understanding its practical meanings:
The Explanatory Memorandum focused on the Movement and the realistic dimension of the
process of settlement and its practical meanings without paying attention to the difference in
understanding between the resident and the non-resident, or who is the settled and the non-settled
Bate #ISE-SW 1B1010000417
(3)
and we believe that what was mentioned in the long-term plan in that regards suffices.
2- Making a fundamental shift in our thinking and mentality in order to suit the challenges
of the settlement mission.
What is meant with the shift - which is a positive expression - is responding to the grand
challenges of the settlement issues. We believe that any transforming response begins with the
method of thinking and its center, the brain, first. In order to clarify what is meant with the shift
as a key to qualify us to enter the field of settlement, we say very briefly that the following must
be accomplished: - A shift from the partial thinking mentality to the comprehensive thinking mentality, - A shift fiom the "amputated" partial thinking mentality to the "continuous" comprehensive
mentality. - A shift from the mentality of caution and reservation to the mentality of risk and controlled
liberation.
- A shift from the mentality of the elite Movement to the mentality of the popular Movement.
- A shift fiom the mentality of preaching and guidance to the mentality of building and testimony
- A shift from the single opinion mentality to the multiple opinion mentality.
- A shift from the collision mentality to the absorption mentality. - A shift from the individual mentality to the team mentality. - A shift from the anticipation mentality to the initiative mentality. - A shift from the hesitation mentality to the decisiveness mentality. - A shift from the principles mentality to the programs mentality. - A shift from the abstract ideas mentality the true organizations mentality [This is the core point
and the essence of the memoiandum].
3- Understanding the historical stages in which the Islamic Ikhwani activism went through
in this country:
The writer of the memorandum believes that understanding and comprehending the historical
stages of the Islamic activism which was led and being led by the Muslim Brotherhood in this
continent is a very important key in working towards settlement, through which the Group
observes its march, the direction of its movement and the curves and turns of its road. We will
suffice here with mentioning the title for each of these stages [The title expresses the prevalent
characteristic of the stage] [Details maybe mentioned in another future study]. Most likely, the
stages are:
A- The stage of searching for self and determining the identity.
B- The stage of inner build-up and tightening the organization.
C- The stage of mosques and the Islamic centers.
D- The stage of building the Islamic organizations - the first phase.
E- The stage of building the Islamic schools - the first phase.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000418
F- The stage of thinking about the overt Islamic Movement - the first phase.
G- The stage of openness to the other Islamic movements and attempting to reach a formula for
dealing with them - the first phase.
H- The stage of reviving and establishing the Islamic organizations - the second phase.
We believe that the Group is embarking on this stage in its second phase as it has to open the
door and enter as it did the first time.
4- Understanding the role of the Muslim Brother in North America:
The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the word means. The
Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and
destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their
hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious
over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and
have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work
wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that
destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be
equal.
5- Understanding that we cannot perform the settlement mission by ourselves or away from
people:
A mission as significant and as huge as the settlement mission needs magnificent and exhausting
efforts. With their capabilities, human, financial and scientific resources, the Ikhwan will not be
able to carry out this mission alone or away from people and he who believes that is wrong, and
God knows best. As for the role of the Ikhwan, it is the initiative, pioneering, leadership, raising
the banner and pushing people in that direction. They are then to work to employ, direct and
unify Muslims' efforts and powers for this process. In order to do that, we must possess a mastery
of the art of "coalitions", the art of "absorption" and the principles of "cooperation".
6- The necessity of achieving a union and balanced gradual merger between private work
and public work:
We believe that what was written about this subject is many and is enough. But, it needs a time
and a practical frame so that what is needed is achieved in a gradual and a balanced way that is
compatible with the process of settlement.
Bate #HE-SW 1B1010000418 (Cont'd)
7- The conviction that the success of the settlement of Islam and its Movement in this
country is a success to the global Islamic Movement and a true support for the sought-after
state, God willing:
There is a conviction - with which this memorandum disagrees - that our focus in attempting to
settle Islam in this country will lead to negligence in our duty towards the global Islamic
Movement in supporting its project to establish the state. We believe that the reply is in two
segments: One - The success of the Movement in America in establishing an observant Islamic
base with power and effectiveness will be the best support and aid to the global Movement
project.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B1010000419
(5)
And the second - is the global Movement has not succeeded yet in "distributing roles" to its
branches, stating what is the needed from them as one of the participants or contributors to the
project to establish the global Islamic state. The day this happens, the children of the American
Lkhwani branch will have far-reaching impact and positions that make the ancestors proud.
8- Absorbing Muslims and winning them with all of their factions and colors in America
and Canada for the settlement project, and making it their cause, future and the basis of
their Islamic life in this part of the world:
This issues requires from us to learn "the art of dealing with the others", as people are different
and people in many colors. We need to adopt the principle which says, "Take from people ... the
best they have", their best specializations, experiences, arts, energies and abilities. By people here
we mean those within or without the ranks of individuals and organizations. The policy of
"taking" should be with what achieves the strategic goal and the settlement process. But the big
challenge in front of us is: how to connect them all in "the orbit" of our plan and "the circle" of
our Movement in order to achieve "the core" of our interest. To me, there is no choice for us
other than alliance and mutual understanding of those who desire from our religion and those
who agree from ow belief in work. And the U.S. Islamic arena is full of those waiting ...., the
pioneers.
What matters is bringing people to the level of comprehension of the challenge that is facing us
as Muslims in this country, conviction of our settlement project, and understanding the benefit of
agreement, cooperation and alliance. At that time, if we ask for money, a lot of it would come,
and if we ask for men, they would come in lines, What matters is that ow plan is "the criterion
and the balance" in our relationship with others.
Here, two points must be noted; the first one: we need to comprehend and understand the balance
of the Islamic powers in the U.S. arena [and this might be the subject of a future study]. The
second point: what we reached with the brothers in "ICNA" is considered a step in the right
direction, the beginning of good and the first drop that requires growing and guidance.
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000419 (Cont'd)
9- Re-examining our organizational and administrative bodies, the type of leadership and
the method of selecting it with what suits the challenges of the settlement mission:
The memorandum will be silent about details regarding this item even though it is logical and
there is a lot to be said about it,
10- Growing and developing our resources and capabilities, our financial and human
resources with what suits the magnitude of the grand mission:
If we examined the human and the financial resources the Ikhwan alone own in this country, we
and others would feel proud and glorious. And if we add to them the resources of our friends and
allies, those who circle in our orbit and those waiting on our banner, we would realize that we are
able to open the door to settlement and walk through it seeking to make Almighty God's word the
highest.
Bate #HE-SW 1B10/0000420
11- Utilizing the scientific method in planning, thinking and preparation of studies needed
for the process of settlement:
Yes, we need this method, and we need many studies which aid in this civilization Jihadist
operation. We will mention some of them briefly:
- The history of the Islamic presence in America.
- The history of the Islamic Ikhwani presence in America.
- Islamic movements, organizations and organizations: analysis and criticism.
- The phenomenon of the Islamic centers and schools: challenges, needs and statistics.
- Islamic minorities.
- Muslim and Arab communities.
- The U.S. society: make-up and politics.
- The U.S. society's view of Islam and Muslims ... And many other studies which we can direct
our brothers and allies to prepare, either through their academic studies or through their
educational centers or organizational tasking. What is important is that we start.
12- Agreeing on a flexible, balanced and a clear "mechanism" to implement the process of
settlement within a specific, gradual and balanced "time frame" that is in-line with the demands
and challenges of the process of settlement.
13- Understanding the U.S. society from its different aspects an understanding that "qualifies" us
to perform the mission of settling our Dawa' in its country "and growing it" on its land.
14- Adopting a written "jurisprudence" that includes legal and movement bases, principles,
policies and interpretations which are suitable for the needs and challenges of the process of
settlement.
15- Agreeing on "criteria" and balances to be a sort of "antennas" or "the watch tower" in order to
make sure that all of our priorities, plans, programs, bodies, leadership, monies and activities
march towards the process of the settlement.
16- Adopting a practical, flexible formula through which our central work complements our
domestic work.
[Items 12 through 16 will be detailed later].
17- Understanding the role and the nature of work of "The Islamic Center" in every city
with what achieves the goal of the process of settlement:
The center we seek is the one which constitutes the "axis" of our Movement, the "perimeter" of
the circle of our work, our "balance center", the "base" for our rise and our "Dar al-Arqam" to
educate us, prepare us and supply our battalions in addition to being the "niche" of our prayers.
Page 10 of 18
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000421
(7)
This is in order for the Islamic center to turn - in action not in words - into a seed "for a small
Islamic society" which is a reflection and a mirror to our central organizations. The center ought
to turn into a "beehive" which produces sweet honey. Thus, the Islamic center would turn into a
place for study, family, battalion, course, seminar, visit, sport, school, social club, women
gathering, kindergarten for male and female youngsters, the office of the domestic political
resolution, and the center for distributing our newspapers, magazines, books and our audio and
visual tapes.
In brief we say: we would like for the Islamic center to become "The House of Dawa"' and "the
general center" in deeds first before name. As much as we own and direct these centers at the
continent level, we can say we are marching successfully towards the settlement of Dawa' in this
country.
Meaning that the "center's" role should be the same as the "mosque's" role during the time of
God's prophet, God's prayers and peace be upon him, when he marched to "settle" the Dawa' in
its first generation in Madina. from the mosque, he drew the Islamic life and provided to the
world the most magnificent and fabulous civilization humanity knew.
This mandates that, eventually, the region, the branch and the Usra turn into "operations rooms"
for planning, direction, monitoring and leadership for the Islamic center in order to be a role
model to be followed.
18- Adopting a system that is based on "selecting" workers, "role distribution" and "assigning"
positions and responsibilities is based on specialization, desire and need with what achieves the
process of settlement and contributes to its success.
19- Turning the principle of dedication for the Masuls of main positions within the Group into a
rule, a basis and a policy in work. Without it, the process of settlement might be stalled [Talking
about this point requires more details and discussion].
20- Understanding the importance of the "Organizational" shift in our Movement work,
and doing Jihad in order to achieve it in the real world with what serves the process of
settlement and expedites its results, God Almighty's willing:
The reason this paragraph was delayed is to stress its utmost importance as it constitutes the heart
and the core of this memorandum. It also constitutes the practical aspect and the true measure of
our success or failure in our march towards settlement. The talk about the organizations and the
"organizational" mentality or phenomenon does not require much details. It suffices to say that
the first pioneer of this phenomenon was our prophet Mohamed, God's peace, mercy and
blessings be upon him, as he placed the foundation for the first civilized organization which is
the mosque, which truly became "the comprehensive organization". And this was done by the
pioneer of the contemporary Islamic Dawa', Imam martyr Hasan al-Banna, may God have mercy
on him, when he and his brothers felt the need to "re-establish" Islam and its movement anew,
leading him to establish organizations with all their kinds: economic, social, media, scouting,
Page 11 of 18
Bate #ISE-SW 1B10/0000421 (Cont'd)
professional and even the military ones. We must say that we are in a country which understands
no language other than the language of the organizations, and one which does not respect or give
weight to any group without effective, functional and strong organizations.
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000422
It is good fortune that there are brothers among us who have this "trend", mentality or inclination
to build the organizations who have beat us by action and words which leads us to dare say
honestly what Sadat in Egypt once said, "We want to build a country of organizations" - a word
of right he meant wrong with. I say to my brothers, let us raise the banner of truth to establish
right "We want to establish the Group of organizations", as without it we will not able to put our
feet on the true path.
- And in order for the process of settlement to be completed, we must plan and work from now to
equip and prepare ourselves, our brothers, our apparatuses, our sections and our committees in
order to turn into comprehensive organizations in a gradual and balanced way that is suitable
with the need and the reality. What encourages us to do that - in addition to the aforementioned -
is that we possess "seeds" for each organization from the organization we call for [See
attachment number (I)].
- All we need is to tweak them, coordinate their work, collect their elements and merge their
efforts with others and then connect them with the comprehensive plan we seek.
For instance,
We have a seed for a "comprehensive media and art" organization: we own a print + advanced
typesetting machine -t audio and visual center + art production office + magazines in Arabic and
English [The Horizons, The Hope, The Politicians, Ila Falastine, Press Clips, al-Zaytouna,
Palestine Monitor, Social Sciences Magazines.,.] + art band + photographers + producers +
programs anchors +journalists + in addition to other media and art experiences".
Another example:
We have a seed for a "comprehensive Dawa' educational" organization: We have the Daw'a
section in ISNA + Dr. Jamal Badawi Foundation + the center run by brother Harned al-Ghazali +
the Dawa' center the Dawa' Committee and brother Shaker al-Sayyed are seeking to establish
now + in addition to other Daw'a efforts here and there...".
And this applies to all the organizations we call on establishing.
- The big challenge that is ahead of us is how to turn these seeds or "scattered" elements into
comprehensive, stable, "settled" organizations that are connected with our Movement and which
fly in our orbit and take orders from ow guidance. This does not prevent - but calls for - each
central organization to have its local branches but its connection with the Islamic center in the
city is a must.
Page 12 of 18
Bate #ISE-SW lB10/0000422 (Cont'd)
- What is needed is to seek to prepare the atmosphere and the means to achieve "the merger" so
that the sections, the committees, the regions, the branches and the Usras are eventually the heart
and the core of these organizations.
Or, for the shift and the change to occur as follows:

organizations a "comprehensive organization" throughout the days and the years, and as long as
we are destined to be in this country. What is important is that we put the foundation and we will
be followed by peoples and generations that would finish the march and the road but with a
clearly-defined guidance.
