Qutb diagnosed the contemporary Muslim world as living in jahiliyya

Evidence

The Quṭb framework articulates the jāhiliyya (ignorance / pre-Islamic condition) operational diagnosis: the contemporary world — including contemporary nominally-Muslim-majority societies — operates under jāhiliyya conditions. The operational pedagogical-doctrinal task of the Muslim community is the comprehensive Islamic reform of the contemporary operational substance. — , The Rod and the Child, 3656
