	Knowledge King - Shura (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The rules of shura are used to solve every problem that a group of individuals faces starting from within the family, to the problems of the community and continuing even to the political affairs of a country.
		The duty of shura is founded on two surahs (verses) of the Qur'an in which consultation is explicitly enjoined (Surah Ash-Shura and), and numerous instances in which the Prophet Muhammad did consult his followers; including instances in which he might have disagreed, and which led to failure in battle.
		The Shura was a traditional form of assembly in Afghanistan, parallel to the secular loya jirga.

	SHURA AND DEMOCRACY
		I do not believe that shura and democracy are the same kinds of institutions.
		In practice one is not dealing with the sources but the medieval interpretations of these sources and shura is for all purposes subordinated to the past understanding of Islamic texts.
		Shura is the leader consulting some people, it is not clearly whom, scholars, relatives, or the entire adult Ummah.

	Democracy and Shura by Sadek Sulaiman
		For readers from the Arab Gulf, the argument that the "logic of Shura, like the logic of democracy, does not accent hereditary rule, for wisdom and competence are never the monopoly of any one individual), or family," is bold and innovative, reflecting a new dimension in religious and political expression.
		We must distinguish, on the one hand, between societies that uphold the democratic principle and endeavor to attain its fulfillment and societies whose rulers reject the democratic principle, exercise autocratic rule and privilege, and deny equality as a moral imperative.
		Both Shura and democracy arise from the central consideration that collective deliberation is more likely to lead to a fair and sound result for the social good than individual preference.

	The Shura Principle in Islam - by Sadek Sulaiman
		Shura constitutes one of the four cardinal principles in the Islamic perspective on socio-political organization.
		The term shura, as such, is to be distinguished from the term istisharah, which means one side seeking counsel from another, and from the term tashawur, which means mutual consultation but on a lesser scale than that envisioned in shura as a nationwide participatory political exercise.
		This clear Quranic depiction of the shura as essentially a decision-making process among equals has to be distinguished from the notion that depicts shura as merely an optional exercise in the seeking of non-binding counsel by the ruler, acting from a superior position, from those of his subjects with whom he may choose to consult.

	A More Detailed Look at the Qur`anic Principle of Shura (Consultation)
		Another implication of the obligatory nature of shura is that conclusions reached by shura are binding on the ruler, for if after shura the ruler can set aside its conclusions whenever he wishes, then shura ceases to be a serious obligatory principle and becomes a meaningless exercise.
		The binding character of the conclusions reached by shura is also established by the practice of the Prophet (pbuh) who, unless otherwise guided by revelation, used to follow whatever course of action was suggested by shura, even though it conflicted with his own judgment.
		The third and last practical implication of the obligatory Qur'anic principle of shura that needs to be mentioned here is that the people must express their views on how certain matters should or should not be handled.

	Shura president: Oman commited to be a modern state
		The ONA report said "Al Qatabi noted that the Sultanate for years had adopted realistic and informed planning for development which involved implementation of the Five-Year Development Plans designed to elevate the status of the Omani citizen as stipulated in the basic statute of the state promulgated in 1996.
		He said the Shura was introduced by His Majesty the Sultan from the beginning of the blessed renaissance and continued to retain its status as among the top priorities of the Omani development and political thought.
		He noted that His Majesty had said at his address before the Council of Oman that the shura would be built brick by brick on the basis of the realities of the Omani life and contemporary requirements," ONA reported.

	Applying the Quranic Principle of Shura in Non-Muslim Countries
		One of the Qur'anic verses where the principle of Shura is enunciated (42:38) is a Makkan verse.
		Both in the way of the due recognition of the two principles and their realization in practice there are many hurdles to be overcome.
		The main hurdle in the way of reorganizing and uniting each community on the principle of shura and self-help is the attitudes of these groups and organizations - not their existence per say.

	Democracy Vs Shura
		The Qur’ân (fourteen centuries ago) spelled out explicitly the principle of "Shura", which means that issues are to be decided by joint deliberation and consultation.
		The practical applications of this principle in the earliest days of Islâm (the time of the prophet and his immediate successors) qualify it to be considered the forerunner of democracy.
		Muslims achieved an initial victory until the battalion of archers positioned at the mountain top thought that the battle was over and rolled down to join the chase, disobeying clear orders the prophet had given them earlier never to leave their positions no matter whether it was victory or defeat.

	Shura (consultation): The doctrine of Ahl Al-bayt
		When Talhah and Al-Zubair dissented, he pleaded for his case on the basis of their oath of allegiance to him, saying: “You gave me your oath of allegiance and now you breached it.” He did not point to the issue of a text from the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him).
		It was not also an alternative to the Shura system which members of the Prophets household stick to as a constitution for the Muslims.
		If they were calling people to follow and obey them, they were only doing that, because of their belief in being superior and more deserving of leadership (Khilafah) than the “Caliphs” who were not judging by the Quran, and were not establishing justice or truly practicing the religion.
