Introduction
About the Ministry of Interior:


The establishment of the Ministry of Interior coincided with the formation of the first central government in Trans Jordan in 1921.  Over the past eight decades, the Ministry’s name was linked with the process of building the modern Jordanian state institutions, the task of preserving security and public order, and providing the best service to citizens in urban, rural and Bedouin areas.



Like other state institutions, the Ministry of Interior kept abreast with the social and economic development of the country, forming the framework through which Jordanian innovative, administrative and legal potential have interacted leading to the achievement of the best form of the modern state that is based on the sovereignty of law and respect of rights of individuals and groups.



In 1931, the Ministry of Interior acquired its naming and assumed its vast and various tasks, which, in addition to its main task of preserving security and public order, included protecting lives and public and private property, and providing services.



Supervision of projects and programs:

One of the royal initiatives of His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein was to assign the governors the task of following up and supervising developmental projects in the governorates.  This was done in order to develop and improve all types of services provided to citizens and with the aim of raising the individual’s standard of living, as well as investing the legal and administrative authorities granted to governors through the laws, regulations and instructions in effect. This is done through:



1.        Preparing a suitable environment for all levels of investment and strengthening cooperation between the private and public sectors.

2.        Following up on the implementation of developmental projects and their level of compliance with set timelines.

3.        Addressing causes of failure of developmental projects through the governors using all legal and administrative and otherwise accountability.

4.        Preparing capital budgets for governorates in cooperation with executive and investment councils leading to the preparation of a capital budget that guarantees the fulfillment of citizens’ needs in their different residential locations.

5.        Training and qualifying promising leaderships to follow up and supervise developmental plans, through the development unit at the Ministry and the development units in the governorates.



Under His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein, the Ministry continues its efforts to maintain and strengthen its accomplishments by:

·            Entrenching modern administrative concepts on the basis of facilitating matters for citizens.

·            Avoiding forms of complications and bureaucracy.

·            Raising the level of efficiency and productivity of Ministry employees.

Ministry of Awqaf Islamic Affairs and Holy Places

Ministry of Awqaf Islamic Affairs and Holy Places
General Information
Introduction

Brief Overview:



Awqaf affairs in Jordan and Palestine were formerly organized through the administration of the Ottoman Agreement issued on 19 Jumada II, 1280 Hijri. This remained in force until it was cancelled by Article (10) of Islamic Awqaf Law of the year 1946.



It is noteworthy that the First Fundamental Law of Trans Jordan, (30 Shawal, 1346 Hijri corresponding to 19/4/1928) took special interest in the Islamic Awqaf, Article (61): (Islamic Awqaf affairs and administration of Waqf financial affairs are managed by a special law. Waqf affairs are governmental issues.)



Upon the declaration of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1946, the Constitution emphasized the aforesaid as stated in Article (63): (Islamic Awqaf affairs and administration of Waqf financial and other affairs are managed by law.) After the declaration of the Kingdom, the Law of Islamic Awqaf No. (25) of the year 1946 was issued. The same law had previously been issued as a temporary one under Article (4) of the same year and was endorsed by the Legislative Council with some amendments and additions on 21/ 11/1946. The Law of Islamic Awqaf was ratified and issued by a Royal Decree on 2/12/1946. The Law was issued as temporary according to Article (61) of the Fundamental Law since the (Jordanian) Constitution was not yet declared. Upon presentation to the Legislative Council, it was re-issued as a permanent law and was enacted by reference to Article (61) of the Kingdom’s First Organic Law at the time of declaration of independence on 25/5/1946. No reference was made to Article (63) of the Constitution as the latter was only declared on 12/ 6/ 1946. Moreover, Awqaf Law No. (1) of the year 1946 issued by virtue of law had been issued on 12/6/1946 according to Awqaf Law No. (4) of the year 1946 and which later became permanently named Law No. (5) of the same year.



The First Organic Law of the Emirate of Trans Jordan and the Constitution of the Kingdom during the time of late King Abdullah I, founder of the Kingdom, stated that Awqaf affairs and financial matters are to be organized by a special law due to its distinguished status. Waqf has its own independent entity; its funds are not to be mixed with other public funds; it is totally independent of any other bodies whilst giving it and its funds all the privileges that public and government funds and interests enjoy. This came as early recognition of the importance of Waqf to guard and protect it from loss and aggression, enabling it to fulfill its mission while seeing to its total independence.



The Ministry of Awqaf was renamed on 16/1/1968 according to Law no. (4) of the year 1968 which stated that the Director of the Higher Council of Awqaf or the Supreme Judge assumes the cabinet of Ministry of Awqaf to be known from therein as Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Places.



In Palestine, however, Awqaf affairs were managed through the Higher Islamic Council according to Islamic Council Regulation issued in Palestine on 20/12/1921 during the British Mandate. Following the declaration of unification of the two banks of Jordan at the Jericho Conference on 1/12/1948, the Lower House of the Parliament ratified the unification on 13/12/1948 and law no. (62) of the year 1951 was issued. Unification was announced after parliamentary elections (to include MPs from the two banks of Jordan) on 24/4/1950.



Law no. (62) stated the adoption of the provisions of Awqaf Law no. 25 of the year 1946 throughout the Kingdom as of 1/5/1951.



Jordanian laws for Awqaf affairs remained in force over the two banks even after the Israeli occupation. The Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf continued to directly manage the affairs in the West Bank and relations were not severed even after the legal and administrative disengagement with the West Bank in 7/8/1988 in order to allow the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to regain the rights of the Palestinian people on their land. The Rabat Arab Summit Conference, in 1974, declared the (PLO) as the only legitimate representative of the Palestinian people as of that date. However, Islamic Awqaf affairs and the Eastern Courts were excluded (from the disengagement) due to their significance and lest they fall directly under the Israeli Ministry of Religious Affairs.



When the Palestinian National Authority assumed its responsibilities and requested to be entrusted with Awqaf affairs and the religious courts, the government in Jordan agreed to administrative and legal disengagement with religious courts and Islamic Awqaf in the West Bank. By this, the courts came under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian authority according to the laws and provisions in force at the time and before the agreement. Nevertheless, Jordan excluded eastern courts and Awqaf in Jerusalem from the disengagement agreement as the issue of Jerusalem was postponed until the time of the final negotiations. Up to this date, Jordanian laws regarding Islamic Awqaf in the holy city are still applied.



Objectives:

1.        Maintenance, development, preservation, and management of mosques and Awqaf funds.

2.        Development of mosques to deliver the message of Islamic education.

3.        Nourish the spirit of sacrifice, strife and stability in the nation and strengthen morals through the teachings of Islam and guidance of the faith.

4.        Nurture and solidify Islamic mannerisms in the private and public lives of all Muslims.

5.        Support public Islamic functions and the scriptures; call for the establishment of religious institutes and schools to teach recital of the Holy Koran.

6.        Spread Islamic culture and preserve Islamic heritage; reveal the role of Islam in the elevation of mankind and bring Muslims closer to their faith.



To achieve all the above-mentioned objectives, Article no. (3) of the Administrative Organization Law No. (16) of the year 1997 has defined the means by which the Ministry will realize its goals stating: For the Ministry to achieve its goals stated in Article (3) of Ministry Law of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and the Holy Places no. (26) of the year 1955, the Ministry will:



1.        Maintain, preserve and manage the affairs of Islamic Holy places and maintain Islamic relics such as mosques and holy shrines.

2.        Oversee the construction, maintenance and financial management of mosques to enable them to carry their mission.

Introduction

Culture is a wide concept that cannot be summarized in a few words. It is a cumulative end result of human experience along the continuous extension of history within a geographic domain. It is a group effort, not produced by the elite alone, although it is directed and lead by it. The elite is merely part of society, that includes, within the unit, various types and colors that are formed by virtue of the development of society, and it is ever growing and reacting with cultures of different nations, in both directions, as long as communication channels with the other are open, and as long as opportunities for friction are available and well-facilitated, as is currently prevalent. This poses a serious challenge to us, when we talk about national culture. Establishments that deal with the cultural product, in its different varieties within the same domain are distributed among governmental, national, commercial and expatriate. They also vary in their media, promotion, economic and artistic capabilities as well as its human resources. Its interests and objectives also vary, as each has its own interest in the prevalence of the cultural patterns that suits it and achieves its interests, which indicates that culture is a distinctive factor in comprehensive development and a hotline of confrontation between nations in an age where traditional confrontation methods lose their effectiveness after losing their ability to excel in its industry, in light of prevailing knowledge and globalized culture.



The quick and amazing pace of development in the international society where we live compels us every day to receive a flood of new scientific inventions and discoveries, and consequently, various patterns of cultures that produce these inventions and discoveries, that we cannot do without due to the interaction between all these factors on one hand, and our desire to go along with the fast pace of the time on the other, so we are not excluded from the world around us. Thus, culture cannot be restricted to literature, art, heritage and history alone, as it is a continuously flowing stream of material and conceptual items.



Since we cannot control the incoming tide of other nations’ cultures, for various considerations, some of which are technical, the others dictated by the natural need to open up to others, as is the case with other societies, it has been incumbent upon us to accept the challenge and regain confidence in our national cultural product, indulging it into the conflict that takes the shape of a peaceful encounter, and prepares our Arab Jordanian Muslim citizen with cultural knowledge that grows with him/her and practices it in the forms of songs, poetry, music, attire, concepts, science and philosophy, … etc, so as not to be taken when exposed to the open-wide window of modern customs and practices.



Being familiar with other cultures and benefiting from them is liked and required, but not before the individual is full with the national culture that would help him support his/her intellectual system with what does not conflict with the basics and reference points of our nation. This does not preclude shunning what is derelict in our culture for the sake of renewal, especially those parts that hinder development and prevent replacement as a result of blind fundamentalism. Culture is an active, continuously growing being that destroys damaged tissues and builds new ones.



The Ministry of Culture strives to undertake its responsibilities in promoting culture and deepening loyalty and pride in the Arab national Islamic culture, and in classical language, restricting Ministry subsidies to what is written in this language. The Ministry also strives to provide opportunities of fruitful interaction and communication with other human cultures in a balanced manner, and dedicating the principle of democracy, which requires freedom of expression, and celebrate Amman’s appointment as the Capital of Culture for the year 2002.



In realization of these noble objectives, the Ministry supports prominent and rising thinkers, writers, and artists and encourages authorship, translation, publishing, and distribution, and encourages artistic, traditional and national theatre, and participates in local, Arab and international conferences and exhibitions. The Ministry hopes that as it presents this schedule of 2002 activities, it has succeeded in its effort to promote Jordan.
