“TAMKINE” FOR THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

“Tamkine” for the Muslim Brotherhood

27.05.2015 Mohamed Louizi

In the Muslim Brotherhood‘s contemporary literature, the “Tamkine” represents the purpose which is so desired by the Brotherhood.This is also the representation of the political institution they’re constructing since many years. The highest goal, and all the Brotherhood’s actions, should permit Islam to become dominant on all the other religions, and Sharia to govern entire Humanity. To reach this goal, Muslim Brotherhood works out four successive steps :

1. First of all, presenting and propagating Islam

2. Secondly, choice and selection of people

3. Confrontation of structural weaknesses, and correction of noted imperfections

4. Finally, “Tamkine”, which means global political domination.

The Muslim Brothers think the Tamkine rhyme with triumph, autonomy, dominion, supremacy, victory and possession. In this way, the Sunnite, Asharite, Salafi Islam could reign supreme over the political power. Its “greatness” could dominate hearts, and organize society, according to the rules of God, and strictly respecting the Sunnah, the way of life prescribed by the Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, using the word “Tamkine” is not neutral. Indeed, in the Muslim Brotherhood literature, this term is semantically defined by an ideological construction, based on holy texts and strategic planning (like the one discovered in Egypt with the Salsabil Case of 1992). This construction is planned to reach heart of political power, without using, like it used to, violence and unproductive brutality, to overthrow a government and replace it. Rather than violence, the plan is to reach highest power gradually, step by step, using a proactive way of doing, which seems to be democratic and peaceful. This means a longer work but the strategy is defined on a long-term vision ; a clearly defined purpose ; goals for each steps ; evolving resources ; renewed and trained human means ; upgraded material and technical means ; pragmatic allies with different networks and spheres of society ; structured establishments which became more attractive ; specialized centers ; diversified, internationalized and stabilized funding sources ; extended and updated influence networks, regarding to the political changes ; systematic supervision dashboards ; benchmarks measuring gaps to improve and dynamics to promote ; evaluation grids periodically updated and improved… March is going on. Walkers keeps singing together : “Allah is my only hope ; the Messenger is our example and our guide ; the Quran is my Constitution ; Jihad is our way ; die in the path of Allan is our highest hope”. Therefore, march is moving forward, following the way of the 1928’s pioneers. Each day, it earns more Muslim square meters, here and elsewhere. Only a complete reading of the book of Ali Sallabi (in the original language which is Arabic), never translated, to my knowledge, could bring more information on this really serious subject, which concerned our close and collective future. Most of the Muslims don’t join this vision of domination developed by this proficient fundamentalist ultra-minority, whether by violence of weapons, or by some kind of “soft violence”. However, it’s easy to note the history of communities, specially the Muslim ones, was never written by the majority, but by a very little but very active minority, which is extremely proactive, in the sense of Alain-Paul Martin, in his book “Proactive Management”, published in 1983, year of the creation of the Union of Islamic Organizations in France (UOIF)
