The Relation Between Dignity and Shura (Mutual Consultation): An Evaluation in the Context of Qur'an and Sunnah
Abstract
Shura or mashwarah (i.e. mutual consultation) and another relevant term, istisharah (i.e. consulting the cognoscenti) all derive from the Arabic verbal root, namely "sha-wa-ra" and refer to a principle as old as history of mankind in terms of origin. The Qur'an has shifted the meaning of the word which the Arabs in the pre-Islamic era had used in its external (zahiri) sense to the counseling, an indispensable principle of social and individual life. This concept which has been addressed in the Islamic literature with approaches emphasizing political identity is dealt with in this study in a context, of which the aspect of individual theraphy predominates by means of values and deeds such as appreciation, forgiveness, pleasing and taking soundings. Especially, the fact that in the consultations of the Prophet (pbuh), this aspect is mostly noticeable is explained through examples. The study by presenting an evaluation of the principle in that respect, would perhaps contribute to the swifter access to the personal lives of isolated people and assist in finding solutions to the problems
