Shura (consultation)

Shura, meaning consultation or mutual discussion, is a principle in Islamic tradition emphasizing collective decision-making and participation in governance. It encourages leaders and community members to seek advice, consider different perspectives, and make informed choices together. This process promotes transparency, unity, and shared responsibility, ensuring that decisions reflect the community’s needs and values. In practice, Shura fosters a collaborative approach where input from various stakeholders helps achieve fair and effective outcomes, reinforcing the idea that leadership is a trust and that input from others strengthens decision-making.
