King Abdullah II Institute for the Training of Imams and Preachers

In compliance with His Majesty's lofty desire to qualify workers in the preaching and guidance sector, including preachers, imams, and mosque orators, and in keenness to consolidate the principles of moderation and tolerance, and in line with the concepts and axes of the Amman Message, which has become the basis for Da’wa work in the Ministry of Endowments to highlight the true bright image of Islam, stop aggression against it, and repel attacks against it, based on the inherited historical responsibility borne by the Hashemite leadership, the Ministry has been keen to establish this institute; to be a Da’wa platform through which all the aspirations and goals directed by His Majesty the King - may God protect him and preserve him - are realized in protecting religion, spreading guidance with awareness and insight, protecting generations from isolation, stagnation, and extremism, and proving the existence of this nation and its civilizational role throughout history.
