In Arabic culture, a Majlis-ash-Shura ((アラビア語:مجلس الشورى)) is an ''advisory council'' or ''consultative council''. In Islamic context, the Majlis-ash-Shura is one of two ways that a Khalifa (Islamic leader) may be selected, the other way being by nomination. The noun شورى (''shura''), alone, means "consultation" and refers to (among other things) a topic in Islamic law or sharia; see Shura. Combined with the term Majlis, مجلس, which refers to a council or legislature, it is meant to indicate a body of individuals who advise, consult or determine. ==Political== Majlis al Shura is a commonly used term for elected or co-opted assemblies with advisory or legislative powers in Arabic-speaking or Islamic-majority countries. In countries with bicameral national legislatures, the appellation is given to either the full legislative body or to the upper house; in the case where the government doesn't function on a democratic basis, the legislature's powers are often restricted exclusively to consultation. * The expression Shura Council -- a partial translation of "majlis al shura", but capitalized—is the conventional English rendering of the name of the upper house of the Egyptian parliament; see Shura Council. * It is the official Arabic name of the Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia (the closest thing Saudi Arabia has to a legislature); also the quasi-legislature of Oman and that of Qatar. * The name of the Parliament of Pakistan. * The name of the upper house of parliament in Bahrain. * As ''Majles-e Shura-ye Eslami'', the full name of the unicameral parliament of Iran. * A quasi-legislative body within the al-Qaeda militant organization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Majlis-ash-Shura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
