Milestones is a translation of Ma'alim fil-tareeq, another important book by Sayyid Qutb.
While this book is like any other books in urging Muslims to wake up from its slumber and capture the true purpose of their existence as required by Allah, it is unique as it describes the methodology to achieve this aim, a theme that keeps occurring in all Qutb's works. Basically it discusses the methods of the Prophet s.a.w. in building a Muslim self, a community and a nation. The book also contains appendices on Qutb's affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwanul Muslim) movement.
