ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Muslim Brotherhood

Imagine a group of people who all believe in the same things and want to work together to make their community better. That is kind of like the Muslim Brotherhood, except they follow a religion called Islam.

The Muslim Brotherhood was started a long time ago in Egypt by a man named Hassan al-Banna. He wanted to help people be better Muslims and make their country better. The Muslim Brotherhood became a really big group and it has spread to other countries too.

Some people like the Muslim Brotherhood because they do good things for other people, like help the poor and build schools. But some people don't like them because they believe in things that are different from what the government thinks.

The Muslim Brotherhood is also political, which means they want to have a say in how their country is run. They have their own ideas about what is right for their country and they want their leaders to listen to them.

Some people think that the Muslim Brotherhood wants to take over the government and make everything be the way they want it to be. But the Muslim Brotherhood says they just want to make their country better and they want everyone to be treated fairly.

So, the Muslim Brotherhood is a group of people who are trying to help their community and make their country better by following their beliefs and ideas. Some people like them and some people don't, but they are an important group in many countries.
