The Revolutionary Council of Islamic Unity of Afghanistan ({{langx|Prs|شوراى انقلاب اتفاق اسلامی افغانستان}}, Shura-i Engelab-i Ettefaq-i Islami Afghanistan, often called simply Shura) was a Hazara political movement which appeared in Afghanistan in 1979 in opposition to the increasingly leftist Kabul government. The movement was led by Sayyid Ali Beheshti.J. Bruce Amstutz . [https://books.google.com/books?id=RUSNyMH1aFQC&dq=farah+province&pg=PA119 Afghanistan: The First Five Years of Soviet Occupation ]. DIANE Publishing, 1994. {{ISBN|0-7881-1111-6}}, {{ISBN|978-0-7881-1111-2}}

The Shura had both political and militant arms, and removed many Kabul-backed authorities within the Hazarajat (Hazara-populated region of Afghanistan), replacing them with their own functionaries.The Shura was considered as a government for the whole Hazarajat and used to be a powerful party among the Hazaras.{{Citation |last=Sarabi |first=Humayun |title=Politics and modern history of Hazara: Secterian Politics in Afghanistan |url=https://www.nps.edu/documents/105988371/107571254/Politics_and_Modern_History-of_Hazaras-Humayun_Sarabi.pdf/dcb1063e-ab40-41b2-ae66-547b8c3b6cbc |work=Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy Thesis |pages=52 |access-date=2023-05-02 |publisher=SECTARIAN POLITICS IN AFGHANISTAN}} By the end of 1983 the Shura controlled 60% of the population of the Hazarajat.J.

The Shura was the primary Hazara resistance movement part of the Tehran Eight political constellation, followed by the Al-Nasr (Victory) and the Union of Islamic Fighters.J. Bruce Amstutz .
