Abstract

This  study  examines  the  principle  of  shura  and  its  application  within  modern  state governance  systems.  Rooted  in  Islamic  Sharia,  shura  is  often  compared  with  modern governance frameworks such as democracy, particularly in countries like Indonesia. To address  this,  shura  is  first  analyzed  through  its  primary  sources—the  Qur'an  and Hadith—along  with  scholarly  interpretations  and  understandings.  The  discussion  then contextualizes the principle of shura using the methodology of maqasid al-shari'ah, an effective approach to evaluating shura as a viable solution for national governance. In this context, shura, often represented by the concept of ahl al-hall wal-aqd in al-siyasÄh dusturiyah, aligns both in essence and application with consultative institutions within modern  systems,  such  as  trias  politica.  Specifically,  the  trias  politica  popularized  by Montesquieu divides the functions of the majlis al-shura into three branches: legislative power,  executive  or  administrative  power,  and  judicial  power.  Ultimately,  the  paper argues  that  the  universal  values  of  shura  remain  intact  despite  transformations  in  its form, name, and implementing institutions. 

Keywords: Shura; maqasid al-shari'ah; ahl al-hall wal-aqd, democracy.
