MEANING OF MAJLIS ASH-SHURA
Majlis Ash-Shura (مجلس الشورى) can be translated to mean 'the consultative body or council.'
is consultation necessary for muslims?
Allah (Glory be to Him) commands Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in surah 3, ayah 159: And consult them in all matters of public concern. Therefore, shura/consultation is part of the Prophetic sunnah. Shared interests should be mutually agreed upon.
OUR BEGINNINGS
The Majlis Ash-Shura of the Delaware Valley began in 1990, after noticing the need for Philadelphia area Imams to consult with one another, to avoid confusion, disunity, and a lack of direction.
Even though the official name of the organization is The Majlis Ash-Shura of the Delaware Valley, over the past three decades it has been called: the philly majlis, The Majlis, The Philadelphia Majlis Ash-Shura, etc.
The Majlis is organized as a non-profit 501(c)3 in the state of Pennsylvania. It comprises of different masaajid (Islamic places of worship) throughout the Delaware Valley, along with other community stakeholders.
