So be forbearing toward them, seek forgiveness for them and consult them in the affair. Then, once you have decided, place your reliance on Allah for Allah surely loves those who rely. This verse was revealed about the battle of Uhud. Many of the younger soldiers, however, were adamant in their desire to go out and meet the enemy aggressively. Likewise, it is obligatory upon every Muslim leader to take consultation in all issues where consultation is needed and helpful and it should be taken from the knowledgeable and the scholars.
Consultation is the way of the believer.
The most important shooraa and that with the most serious consequences is that of the leader with the people of knowledge. It smooths relations between Muslims and brings them closer together better able to cooperate to carry out our mission on this earth. The well-being of this nation depends on the continuation of the institution of shooraa without deviating towards democracy nor toward dictatorship. No opinion goes astray with the two of them and no firmness is lost.
