Abstract

This study discusses two approaches: consultation (shura) and

democracy, and how they are close and harmonious. In addition to the validity

and success of each to run people’s affairs, the researchers tried to find what

is common between the two systems and their originality.

The paper discussed different positions of Islamists who tried to bridge

the gap between shura and democracy. Some scholars are supporters and

others are against our approach. Evidences were discussed thoroughly, and

of the main issues which we tried to answer is the relationship between the

parliament majority and shura and whether the referendum can be considered

as part of the shura and rulers are bound by their results
