Faculty of Sharia

In the name of God the Merciful

Praise to Allah and peace be upon Profit Mohammad, his family, friends and people, I wish to welcome visitors of the webpage of Hebron University, the university of generosity and martyrs. I particularly welcome the visitors of the site of the Faculty of Sharia, the leading faculty in our beloved country that has had significant contributions to the development of our society.

The Faculty of Sharia is the cornerstone of Hebron University, as it was the first faculty to be established in the University.

The graduates of the Faculty of Shatria have had essential contributions in building and protecting the Palestinian society. Among these graduates are people who occupied high-ranking positions, including ministers, legislators, leaders of the Islamic community, defenders of Jerusalem, doctorate holders, university professors, headpersons of departments, education supervisors, reformers, imams of mosques, and schoolteachers.

May God bless and save our Faculty of Sharia and give its instructors the strength to continue the mission for the good of our community and the entire world.

College Establishment

The College of Islamic Law is a cornerstone of Islamic education in Palestine. It was the first College at Hebron University, established in 1971 with 43 students enrolled in its programs. Ever since, it witnessed a continuous increase in the number of students. .

The founder of this College, Sheikh Mohammad Ali Al-Jabari – may God's mercy be upon him – understood that spreading Islamic knowledge to Muslims in all parts of Palestine is a great responsibility. After the establishment of the college, he spared no effort in serving the College, its instructors, and its students. He meant to prepare the leaders and pioneers, to enlighten the ways towards highness, liberation, and renaissance. So far the college has achieved intellectual and scientific rise in the society. With gratitude to Al-Jabari’s great efforts, the College has produced social leaders, religious thinkers, and public reformers.

Objectives:

The major objectives of the College since its establishment are as follows:

1. The study of God’s glorious book and the Sunna of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and to preserve them and defend them, through training specialized scientists in the topics of Quran and Sunnah.
2. The study of Islamic jurisprudence to prepare specialists in this topic to handle Fatwa (advisory), judgment, and instruction work.
3. To prepare insightful advocates of religion.
4. To facilitate scientific research and encourage research work by students in order to understand the sources of religious rules.
5. To prepare instructors who are academically qualified to take responsibility for teaching the Islamic Sciences.
