Shura was legislated in Islam, because:

• The decision of compiling the Qur’an after consulting between Omar bin Al-Khattab and Abu Bakr As-Siddeq (RA)

(It accepts multiple answers)

• Unifying energies and efforts in raising the level of performance

• Making Balanced and Wise Decisions

• Autocracy and forcing ideas on others

An evidence for the legitimacy of the shura is shown in the Qur’anic verse:

• قال تعالى:{...وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ...} […And whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves,] Ash-Shura: 38

• {وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ} […And consult them in the matter…] Aal Imran:159

• The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “A consultant is trustworthy” [Narrated by At-Tirnithi]

• All options are correct
