Buku ini terjemahan dari buku ” Memoir of Hassan al_bana ” oleh N>M Shaikh, terbitan International Islamic Publichers. Karachi,Pakistan. Separuh dari buku “Memoirs of hassan al-Bana” itu diambil dan diterjemah olehN.M Shaikh dari sebahagian buku ” Muzakirat ad-Da’ie wa Da’iyyah” oleh Hassan al-Banna.
Buku ini penting bagi siapa yang mengetahui secara latar belakang orang yang menggagas gerakan Ikhwanul-Muslimin - yaitu Hassan Al-Banna. Dengan membaca buku ini, kita akan faham dan mengapa gerakan Ikhwanil-Muslimin mampu menjadi satu gerakan Islam yang digeruni musuh-musuh Islam. Hassan Al-Banna, dalam masa dua dekad telah menyusun gerakan Ikhwan-ul-Muslimin dengan begitu rapi sehingga ada cawangan ketenteraannya sendiri.
Buku ini menyingkap rahsia peribadi seorang tokoh dan pemimpin yang telah berjaya menyatukan orang dari berbagai golongan kedalam satu harakah yang bukan saja himpunan akhlak mulia,bahkan seterusnya menjadi pencetus pembaharuan dalam arus kebangkitan Islam masa kini.

My aim in this book is to place Indonesians at the center of their own story. But there is no single story or history, and the principals become Indonesians only in the telling of Indonesian histories. The historical context in which this book is written is the debate within Indonesia itself as to what regions and communities constitute the nation. It is not the istant argument of academics, but the subject of real conflict between and within Indonesian communities. The debate is carried through violence as well as through public discussion. Men, women, and children die, lives are disrupted, property is destroyed, and fear settles in public meeting places. In this book I have tried to establish links between Indonesian communities, to show why, historically, they have reasons to live together in one nation and, at the same time, to show histories of difference.
In the scholarly literature on Indonesia there is a long tradition of stressing Javanese “difference,” particularly in the individual’s approach to Islam as either “orthodox” or “syncretic.” I find “folk Islam” a more helpful way of understanding approaches to religious belief and practice, because it links Javanese with all other Islamic communities of the archipelago and relates Indonesian Islams to the traditions and histories of Islam everywhere. In discussing Javanese difference, most scholars adopt the Javanese (and Dutch) perception that Indonesia is Java plus Outer Islands, that the core is Java and that the societies of the other islands form a fringe. Sometimes that fringe is called The Malay-Muslim zone, again indicating Java’s difference.
