Young Men's Muslim Association
- Young Men's Muslim Association
The Young Men's Muslim Association ( _ar. جمعية الشبان المسلمين) ("Jam'iyyat al-Shubban al-Muslimin") was founded in Egypt in 1927. By the end of the decade it had around 15,000 members. The leader in the 1930s was Izz al-din Qassam. He led a peasant revolt in the early 1930s against the sale of land to non-Muslims in Palestine. He was able to build support for the Association by focusing on Greater Jihad, moral uplift and helping the poor, rather than Lesser Jihad which is violence.
