Sahifat Dar al-Ulum (Arabic: صحيفة دار العلوم; DMG: Saḥīfat Dār-al-ʿUlūm; English: "The Journal of the House of Sciences") was an Arabic journal published in Cairo from 1934 to 1947. It was founded by Sayyid Qutb (1905-1966), a well-known Egyptian writer, poet, and critic, who is considered to be one of the Muslim Brotherhoodʼs most important thought leaders, as well as Saʿd al-Labban and Muhammad Ibrahim Jabr.[1] After training as a teacher, Qutb graduated from the Dār al-ʿUlūm University in Cairo during the founding year of the journal.[1] In terms of content, the editors focused on the “latest pedagogical, social and linguistic theories”[2] and pursued the goal to compete with the reputation of al-Azhar and the Egyptian University through their intellectual Islamic orientation and their high demands on the students.[3] In addition to Saḥīfat Dār-al-ʿUlūm, Qutb also published his articles in other journals of various ideological orientations, including ar-Risala[4] and aš-Šuʼūn al-iğtimāʿīya.[5]
