ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mejlis

Okay, little buddy, a mejlis is a special council or meeting where people come together to discuss important things. It's kind of like a grown-up version of show-and-tell where everyone gets a chance to share what's on their mind and talk about what's going on in their community.

In some places, mejlis is also a name for a type of government council or assembly. This group of people makes decisions for their community and tries to make things better for everyone who lives there.

So, imagine you and your friends having a big meeting where you all get to talk about what you want to do, and then you get to make big decisions that will make your neighborhood a nicer place to live. That's kind of like what a mejlis is all about!
