Overview

The council of Quraysh in Mecca before and after Islam. Qusayy ibn Kilab built it near the Kaaba, and the notables of Quraysh met there to decide matters of war, peace and marriage alliances.

Significance

From it came the consultations of Quraysh about the Prophet and the war against him; in Arabic memory it became the name of any aristocratic consultative council. 1
