Kulliyat Ash Sharia

“Kulliyat Ash Sharia? That’s a mouthful. It’s a lot easier to just say the School of Sharia.” The School of Sharia is a place that holds a special place in Jordanian history.
Imagine walking through this place of learning. The halls buzzed with the energy of students delving into Islamic laws and doctrines. Here, in the heart of Amman, generations of scholars have dedicated their lives to understanding and interpreting the Quran and Islamic traditions. This is where future imams, judges, and Islamic thinkers are honed. The School of Sharia plays a crucial role in shaping the cultural landscape of Jordan, ensuring the preservation of Islamic values while striving for moderation and understanding.
It was established in 1964 AD, a time when Jordan was experiencing rapid growth and modernization. Initially, it operated in the vibrant neighborhood of Jabal Al-Luweibdeh.
A decade later, in 1971 AD, the School of Sharia settled onto the main university campus. By then, it had become a significant force in the academic world, known for its commitment to scholarly excellence.
This was no ordinary school. Its mission was to instill a deep understanding of Islamic beliefs and practices, fostering leadership that would guide the community towards a brighter future.
Think of it like a wellspring of Islamic knowledge.
From these humble beginnings, the School of Sharia’s influence has extended far beyond the borders of Jordan. Alumni have found their way into diverse and important roles. In the fields of education, law, and diplomacy, they champion understanding and dialogue, bridging the gap between cultures through the lens of Islamic thought.
There is a sense of history in the air here. The legacy of the School of Sharia lives on, carried by the generations who pass through its doors. It is truly a landmark that represents both the past and the future of Islam in Jordan.
