Lo MbAye states that Al-Kherbawy's book Qalb al-Ikhwan (The Heart of the Brotherhood or Inside the Brotherhood) "unveils the mysterious inner workings of the organization, how decisions are made and how ideological discipline is enforced through strict adherence to the chains of command", and praises the book's "clear and poignant prose".[12]
