Abstract
<p>Administrative decentralization is one of the most marvelous achievements of public laws in current age. Obviously, based on the title of the book namely Islamic Councils, we mean a certain type of local decentralization is shaped by geographical areas. In modern administrative laws, decentralization is raised in two geographical and technical aspects. Local councils are objective sign of geographical decentralization and legal figures of public laws such as universities are instances of technical decentralization.</p>In this concept, decentralization is shaped by two concepts of “managerial independence” and “elective decision making authority”. In modern administrative system, decentralization means to increase the authorities of elected officials whose proficiencies are assignable only in a region of the country. Before getting familiar with such great achievement, we should address the philosophy governing decentralization and its status in modern democracies.

Summary
Democracy is a kind of administration in which people play a vital role in monitoring the administration. Citizens elect their representatives in a process called elections and they run citizens’ affairs in the name of “nation” ( Bashirieh, 2008, 64). Such representativeness is granted only in political affairs or administrative/political nature. General tasks of councils are categorized in two groups: Group 1: lawmaking by councils (urban, rural and provincial councils) which include local governance roles in controlling public activities and approving the laws on how to run local affairs for residents. All Islamic councils are tasked to move toward a local people approach, to recognize their needs, to remove them and to grant public services
