Dr. Muḥammad Saʻīd Raslān (Arabic: محمد سعيد رسلان ; born November 23, 1955) is an Egyptian Salafi scholar based in Sobk el Ahad, Egypt.
Muhammad Sa'id were influenced by, a senior Salafi from Ethiopia, and Rabee al-Madkhali.[1]
Following the 2011 uprising in Egypt, Raslan attracted attention by opposing the rebellion against then-President Hosni Mubarak, which diverged from the views held by some fellow Salafis at the time. Despite his non-involvement in politics, Raslan's influence has steadily grown, with his Friday sermons reportedly drawing crowds of up to 4,000 individuals. He has emerged as a vocal critic of the Muslim Brotherhood, a powerful political group in Egypt, and has expressed strong reservations about their ideology and practices.[2]
Raslan has authored more than 49 books.
