In keeping with the command of the Holy Quran: “(They conduct) their affairs by mutual shura [consultation]”[42:38] and “[C]onsult with them upon the conduct of affairs,” [3:159], shuras [councils] such as the Islamic Shura Majlis, provincial, county, city, region, district, and village shuras and the like are among the pillars of decision-making and management of the country. The cases, manner of formation and scope of jurisdiction and authorities of the shuras shall be determined by this Constitution and laws derived from it.
