2- “Questions in Jurisprudence of Jihad” by Abu Abdullah al-Muhajir

In April 2017, the ministry issued a new book titled “Terrorists’ Delusions and their Rebuttal” to respond to all the misleading terrorist beliefs. The ministry announced that the 107-page book is available online and translated into several languages.
The book also responds to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood’s late leader Sayyed Qutb’s writings.
