In the Pre Islamic Period the term Shura (council) while keeping on its presence in the triangular region together with the institutions of the Dar an- Nadva, Naadee and Sha’b it had been also widely accepted as an ethical term. In the Qur’an the word has been referred by three verses. The verse in chapter Shura 42/38 the character of the believers are described as a good behavior. In chapter Al-Imraan 2/233 it is requested from the Prophet Mohammad to consult with those who joined to the Uhud battle. In Al Baqarah 2/233 it is mentioned that if the married couple decide to stop to suckle the baby before the term they can do this only in the case of mutual consultation. As far as we know as a principle the term Shura was very common in the Arabic daily life before Islam in aforementioned regions. It also had been an institution already. However it is clear that this term in the Quran does not denote institution but consultation. It can be point out that the meaning of consultation was being conceptualized by the word Shura which is transformed from the verb of the the Quran `sh-w-r` to consult
