"To achieve the Ikhwan’s goals, al-Banna called for a gradualistic approach in which the desired reform could be attained through three stages.

First is the stage of communication and propagation, aimed at exposing the Egyptian society to the true Islamic principles.

Second is the stage of mobilization and organization in which the movement would select and train its active members.

Finally comes the stage of executing and implementing the Islamic rules and principles in which a society is completely transformed into an Islamic one.

" Generally speaking, although the Ikhwan’s approach appeared to be for the most part peaceful and gradualistic, it was potentially violent.

While Article IV, section 2 of the Ikhwan’s 1945 basic regulations stated that: "the Brethren will always prefer gradual advancement and development ..."

several statements by the Ikhwan’s leadership showed that they were inclined to resort to violence in such circumstances as those which transpired under al-Nuqrashi Pasha’s government.

Al-Banna, for example, clearly asserted that he would not hesitate to use violence if he were forced to do so, or when the Ikhwan were ready to seize power

:"The Brethren will use practical force whenever there is no other way and whenever they are sure the implement of faith and unity is ready.
