SYURA

Syura is the first principle that emphasizes on the importance of managing through teamwork. Syura consists of meeting in accordance to Islamic approach and by following the guidelines of the Quran and Sunnah. The Muslim leaders are obligated to consult those with knowledge or expertise and those who would provide good advice. The practice of Syura will enable members of an organization to participate in the decision making process. In other words, every member in the organization is given fair opportunity to voice their opinions freely without hesitation.

For example, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w he himself was a great leader. Despites of the highest position he held, he always refer  and respect the decisions made by the members of Syura. This whether to confront the unbelievers outside Medina or within Medina itself. After consulting sahabahs (companions), Salman al-Farsi suggested that is better to confront the unbelievers in Medina. In order to do so, the muslims must weaken the foreign supports of the unbelievers. The Muslim should dig a ditch to prevent the enemies from entering Medina
