QSI: The Seerah Of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) #24: The Seeds Of Yathrib

The Purpose of Shura:  is to share each others understanding so that we all benefit from the best understanding; share each other's experience so we all can learn from the best experience.  Shuraa is to bring many together to learn from the whole so each of us goes away with power of the whole." Imam W. D. Mohammed (ra) Detroit 10/12/97)

We want a democratic order, democratic in the light of what democracy should be in Islam. Don't think that I'm saying democracy, and you think of America. When I say democracy, you should think of the Shuraa of Muhammad, SAWS. He established Shuraa."  Imam W. D. Mohammed (ra) Masjid Malcolm Shabazz January 9, 1983
