The Role of the Faculties of Shariah in Jordanian Public Universities in Promoting Moderate Ideologies Among Students

The present study aimed to explore the role of the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities in promoting moderate ideologies among students. It aimed to explore this role in several areas: (teaching, scientific research, curricula, and training programs &student activity). It aimed to explore that from the graduate students’ perspective. The researchers selected a simple random sample consisting from 334 female and male students. This sample was selected from the faculties of Shariah in three Jordanian universities; the University of Jordan, Yarmouk University and Mu’tah University. The researchers developed a forty eight (48) item questionnaire that sheds a light on four (4) areas. It was found that the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities play a moderate role in promoting moderate ideologies among students, because the total mean is 3.44. The curricula area is ranked first due to showing a mean of 3.73 which is high. The teaching -curricula is ranked second, due to showing a mean of 3.50 which is moderate. The scientific research area is ranked third due to showing a mean of 3.44 which is moderate. The (training programs &student activity) area is ranked fourth due to showing a mean of 2.87 which is moderate. In the light of the study’s results, several recommendations were suggested. For instance, the researchers recommend activating the role of the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities in promoting moderate ideologies among students. Such activation must involve several areas: (teaching, scientific research, curricula, and training programs &student activity).The researchers recommend increasing the cooperation between the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian universities in order to suggest practical solutions for addressing the problems hindering those universities from promoting moderate ideologies among students.


Introduction
Countries seek achieving development and growth in all areas. They aim at achieving happiness and welfare for their citizens to have a healthy society. That can be achieved through promoting positive ideologies. Promoting positive ideologies can promote creativity among people. It participates in achieving development. It enables people to cope with the surrounding environment to survive. Countries have been sharing information about ideologies. In each country, there are educational institutions that play a significant role in promoting values, beliefs, and ideas.
Such educational institutions include schools. Schools carry out this role through the lessons and activities that are listed in curricula. Such educational institutions include universities. Today, universities play a significant role in achieving development and advancement in societies. The creation of universities and the introduction of several new university academic programs support people's right to think and adopt ideologies freely. They meet the social, cultural and intellectual needs of individuals and societies. Today, higher education institutions play a significant role in developing knowledge. They carry out this function through carrying out various intellectual and scientific. Such institutions also play a significant role in cultural and intellectual area in society (E'baidat, 2014).
Through conducting studies, researchers and specialists have been providing much attention to universities and their educational and intellectual functions. The role of universities has developed in several scientific and technical areas. It has developed in addressing various social, cultural, and political changes. Universities play a significant role in handling community problems and utilizing knowledge to gain economic, political and intellectual power. Gaining such power shall enable universities to fight against radicalism. Researchers and specialists have been giving much attention to universities. For instance, there are various studies that address university-relate issues. Some of those studies address the image of universities from a philosophical perspective. Some of those studies shed a light on faculty members' role and research, intellectual, mental and cognitive capabilities. Such capabilities enable faculty members to carry out their educational roles (Al-Bura'y, 2002).
Universities aim at promoting ideas, and values and shaping people's behaviors. They play a significant role in promoting religious values. They carry out such functions through teaching students and educating them in accordance with the principles of Islam (Al-Maqousi and Fatheye, 2013).
Islam aims at promoting moderate ideologies. The principles of Islam are suitable for each era and place. That applies till the judgment day comes. The moderation of Islam can be manifested through Aqidah, Shariah, and Islamic values. It can be manifested through the way in which Islam regulates transactions and relationships. For instance, Islam involves much tolerance and acceptance. The moderation of Islam can be manifested through Quran, Sunah and the practices of Islam. It can be manifested through the way in which Islam regulates various aspects of life (Abu Al-Hasan, 2015).
Moderation is a principle that applies to daily life. It's one of the pillars of Islam. It governs this universe. It governs the way of practicing the religious duties of Islam. In other words, one mustn't show negligence nor excessiveness when carrying out the religious rituals of Islam. Showing negligence in this regard is similar to showing excessiveness. The Muslim nation is the best nation among nations as Prophet Mohammad said. Thus, it is entitled to be a leading nation. It's entitled to be so due to the attributes that characterize it. Such attributes include moderation in all aspects. Moderation in Islam serves as a comprehensive approach. It can be manifested through all the rules, and Ahkam of Islam. If Islam was adopted correctly, it can be adopted in any place and time due to being moderate (Al-Farfour, 2002).
The Muslim nation leads other nations, instead of being led by a nation. Its moderation can be manifested through the beliefs it adopts. It treats others in a fair manner. It adopts moderation through refraining from showing negligence or exaggeration in order to avoid causing damage to itself and others. Islam adopts moderation through achieving a balance between meeting the needs of the soul and body, individual and society, and life and after life. It adopts moderation through achieving a balance between meeting the materialistic and spiritual needs. Moderation in Islam is not a new approach or concept in Islam. In fact, it has been always existent in Islam. The Muslims who want to please Allah should adopt moderation. Through adopting moderation, one shouldn't show oppression, nor radicalism, nor give up. Through understanding the moderation of Islam, one shall become capable to understand Islam correctly and realize that Islam is based on achieving balance in everything (Al-Sultani, 2011).
Islam spread much and many foreigners adopt it. At some point, the Islamic nation was living in the golden age. Muslims translated various books written by people in other nations. They studied well the Greek philosophy. They interacted directly with other nations. That led to the spread of new ideas among people in the Muslim society. Therefore, some people in the Muslim society started to adopt some modern ideas with keeping other conventional ideas. It should be noted that several Islamic groups emerged. That led to the emergence of radicalism in various aspects of life; political; cultural and religious areas (Badawi, 1999).
In the light of that, much effort has been exerted to fight against radicalism and promote an Islamic moderate ideology. Scholars have been playing an important role in promoting this ideology (Al-Ameery, 2007).
Many technological and scientific developments have been made. In the light of that, educational institutions -like schools and universities-have become responsible for promoting an Islamic moderate ideology. This role should be carried out by the faculty of shariah and its faculty members. The faculty of Shariah aims at developing students' personalities and instilling Islamic values within students. It aims at developing students in physical, mental, intellectual and social aspects. It participates in developing knowledge and utilizing it for serving society. It aims at promoting awareness about religious, cultural and intellectual issues in accordance with the Islamic principles. It aims at doing that to meet the needs of nations and affect their behaviors positively. Achieving that by the faculty of Shariah requires developing students in order to become capable to carry out those duties and handle responsibilities. Therefore, the faculty members at the faculty of Shariah have many responsibilities. They play a significant role, especially in addressing issues that concern the local society and achieving development (Al-Khayat, 1994).
In the light of making many scientific and technological developments, the role of faculty member has become complex. For instance, the faculty member today isn't just responsible for conducting studies, gaining much knowledge about his major and teaching courses. In fact, he has become responsible for educating good citizens who are qualified in scientific and intellectual areas. The contemporary role of faculty member plays a major role in society. That's because such a role affects people's attitudes, and the society's capability to handle problems and meet goals.
The students enrolled in a faculty of Shariah aim at making reforms in society and doing good deeds. They aim at defending Islam and its image. They aim at carrying out their duties as good Muslims and promoting a good image about Islam. That's because they have devoted themselves for defending Islam). Those students carry out this role because they realize the significant role of education in developing society. For instance, education aims at enriching people's knowledge and developing their skills and expertise. It enables people to carry out the duties assigned to them perfectly.
Nawab Al-Deen (1995) suggests that Muslims today are in need for true advice delivered by visionary expert Muslims. He adds that Muslim preachers must aim at achieving reform in the Muslim nation. He adds that Allah encouraged Muslims to carry out reforms in order to avoid disasters. For instance, a verse in Quran states the following: (Your Lord would never destroy the villages unjustly, whilst their people were reforming) (Hood Surah,117).
The role of the faculty of Shariah isn't limited anymore to the identification of Islamic principles and facts. In fact, the latter faculty has become responsible for promoting knowledge about Islam (Al-Mudwadi, 1986, p.27the right Islamic practices that meet the needs of society and develop it. However, doing that requires Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.11, No.3, 2020 promoting moderate ideologies and encouraging people to stop doing sins for meeting their desires (Al-Farfour, 2002).
Many researchers (e.g. Almasri, 2001) suggest that they aren't satisfied about the way the students of the faculty of Shariah make reforms in society. They consider those students as weak, and lacking vision. That led to weakening the capability of the faculty of Shairah to keep up with the developments. Alomari (2009) describe those students as being imitative, not innovative and refrain from exerting effort and do not think.
In simple words, the students and faculty members at the faculty of shariah must promote awareness in society about the moderate ideology of Islam. Such an ideology aims at achieving balance when meeting the needs of body and spirit and mind and desires. Islam regulates all the aspect of life and no one can prefer adopting a certain Islamic rule with excluding other rules.
To sum up, the faculty of Shariah is responsible for carrying out educational service and intellectual duties. Therefore, it's necessary to develop the students enrolled at the latter faculty in order to develop the nation (Al-Ameery, 2007).
Developing the nation requires having scholars in religion who carry out their duties perfectly. The faculty members and students of the faculty of Shariah are responsible for promoting knowledge about the moderate ideology of Islam and fighting radicalism. That's because the misinterpretation of Islamic texts led to the spread of radical ideologies. The latter faculty members and students are responsible for suggesting educational mechanisms for promoting the moderate ideology of Islam. Handling such responsibilities shall activate the role of those faculty members and students in serving their nation.

Statement of the problem and the Study's Questions:
Education plays a significant role in changing people's behaviors. Thus, it plays a significant role in achieving development and advancement. It enables institutions-including universities-to achieve development. It plays a significant role in shaping the ideologies of the members of society. Several changes have been facing the Islamic world. Many radical ideas and practices have been spreading in the Islamic society. Therefore, it is necessary to activate the role of the faculties of Shariah in fighting against radicalism and excessiveness. That can be done through educating people and enabling them to serve their Islamic nation.
The researchers of this study aimed to shed a light on the role of the faculty of Shariah in society. They aimed to identify the methods that help the students and faculty members of this faculty in doing their duties. Such duties include: promoting moderate ideologies and true image about Islam among people. To be more specific, the present study aimed to explore the role of the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities in promoting moderate ideologies among students.

Previous Studies
Asalabi (2001) conducted a study targeting (Moderation in the Holy Quran). An analytical descriptive approach was adopted. The latter study consists from three parts. The first part sheds a light on the manifestations of moderation in the Holy Quran. The second part sheds a light on the manifestations of moderation in Aqidah. The third part sheds a light on the manifestations of moderation in worships, ethics and Ahkam. It was found that the moderation ideology in Islam can manifest in all the aspects of life. Al-Abdullah (2003) aimed to explore the role of the faculty members in Tiba University in promoting a moderate ideology among students. A descriptive approach was adopted. The sample consists from 163 faculty members. It was found that the role of those faculty members in promoting a moderate ideology among students is moderate. It was found that there are statistically significant differences between the respondents in terms of the extent of carrying out this role which can be attributed to major. The latter differences are for the favor of the ones who are specialized in education and Shariah. It was found that there are statistically significant differences between the respondents in terms of the extent of carrying out this role which can be attributed to gender. The latter differences are for the favor of males. It was found that that there isn't any statistically significant difference between the respondents in terms of the extent of carrying out this role which can be attributed to academic rank. Al-Saeed (2005) aimed to develop a model for the Islamic education curricula of the primary school stage in Yemen in order to promote moderate ideologies among students. A descriptive analytical approach was adopted and a questionnaire was used. The population consists from all the Islamic education curricula of the primary school stage in Yemen. It was found that the latter books don't provide much attention to the Islamic education curricula to moderate ideologies. The latter researcher developed a matrix that involves moderate ideology that should be embedded in the latter curricula. He also developed a map for the concepts of moderation to be included in the Islamic education curricula of the primary school stage in Yemen Al-Mousa (2008) aimed to explore the reality of moderation in the contemporary ideologies. He also aimed to identify the manifestations of moderation in the contemporary Arab ideologies. He aimed to identify the most important future challenges that may affect moderation. He aimed to develop a vision for fighting against radicalism and excessiveness. A descriptive analytical approach, and a historical approach were adopted. In addition, a comparative approach was adopted. It was found that moderation should be manifested in one's ideas. It was found that adopting a moderate ideology is determined based on the way one interacts with his family. It was found that the contemporary ideologies are characterized with being moderate.
Al-Omari (2009) conducted a study titled (Islam: the religion of moderation throughout ages). He adopted a descriptive analytical approach. He aimed to identify the way in which moderation is manifested in Islam.

It was found that universities play a significant role in promoting good ethics and ideologies. It was found that adopting Islam in manner that is not moderate shall hinder one from reflecting the true image about Islam. It was found that Islamic education plays a significant role in promoting moderate ideologies among students. That is done through carrying out several goal-oriented programs and activities. Mohammad (2001) aimed to explore the effectiveness of a proposed program that aims at promoting moderate ideologies among female students through student activities. An experimental approach was adopted through dividing the sample into experimental and control groups. A thirty item questionnaire was used. This questionnaire sheds a light on two areas. It was found that the proposed program is effective in promoting moderate ideologies among female students through student activities.
Al-Shar'ah and Al-Bela'sy (2011) aimed to explore the extent of adopting moderate ideologies by faculty members. A descriptive approach was adopted. A twenty three item questionnaire was used. Questionnaire forms were distributed to 189 female students who were selected from Irbid University College and Balqa Applied University. It was found that the results related to intellectual aspects are similar to the ones related to behavioral aspects. Hwari and Adoun (2012) aimed to explore the role of universities in promoting moderate ideologies through (faculty members, educational methods and establishing relationships with the members of the local community). A descriptive approach was adopted. A random sample was selected. It consists from 400 deans, vide deans, heads of department and vice heads of department. Questionnaire forms were distributed to the members of the selected sample. 368 forms are considered valid for analysis. 58% of the respondents believe that there's a high need for activating the role of universities in promoting moderate ideologies and intellectual security among students. It was found that6% of the students believe that is a low need for activating the role of universities in promoting intellectual security among students. It was found that 82% of the students have either moderate or much knowledge about the methods and procedures adopted for promoting moderate ideologies and intellectual security among students Nibras and Ibrahim (2012) aimed to identify the attributes that should be possessed by the faculty member who want to promote moderate ideologies. A descriptive approach was adopted and a questionnaire was used to collect data. The sample consists from 36 faculty members.

Al-Jahni (2013) aimed to explore the extent of embedding moderate ideologies within the Islamic education curricula of the secondary stage. It aimed to explore the effectiveness of this curricula in promoting these ideologies. To meet the study's goals, a descriptive approach was adopted and a survey was used. In addition, content analysis was conducted. The sample consists from all the supervisors of the Islamic education course in Makkah, Saudi Arabia (26 supervisors). The latter study was conducted during the second semester of the academic year (2011-2012). It was found that the extent of embedding moderate ideologies within the Islamic education curricula of the secondary stage is high. It was found that this curricula play a moderate role in promoting these ideologies Abu Jaber (2014) aimed to identify the role of faculty members in the Islamic University in Gaza in promoting moderate ideologies among students. A descriptive approach was adopted for meeting the study's goals. Forty three item questionnaire was used.. The sample consists from 333 female and male students who are either in their first year or fourth year. Those students were selected from the faculty of law, faculty of Shariah and faculty of engineering. The latter study was conducted during the second semester of the academic year (2013-2013). The sample was selected through using the random stratified sampling method. It was found that there isn't any statistically significant difference between the respondents' attitudes which can be attributed to gender. The latter attitudes are towards the role of faculty members in promoting moderate ideologies. It was found that there are statistically significant differences between the respondents' attitudes which can be attributed to faculty. . The latter differences are for the favor of the students enrolled at the faculty of Shariah and the ones enrolled at the faculty of law. Gutkowski (2015) adds that the government plays a very important role in promoting moderate Islamic ideologies. He also adds that that the government plays a very important role in promoting peace and encourage people to have dialogue-related ethics. Zamily (2017) aimed to explore the role of Muslim preachers and scholars in correcting wrong conceptions and promoting moderate ideologies. An analytical descriptive approach was adopted. It was found that Muslim preachers and scholars play a very significant role in correcting wrong conceptions and promoting moderate Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.11, No.3, 2020 ideologies Al-Shalash (2017) aimed to explore the role of Saudi private colleges and universities in promoting moderate ideologies. A descriptive approach was adopted and the relevant documents were analyzed. The latter researcher collected data from the relevant books, studies, and researcher. It was found that fighting radical ideologies requires promoting Islamic moderate ideologies. It was also found that Saudi private colleges and universities play a significant role in promoting moderate ideologies According to Zuhdi (2018), curriculaand teachers play a significant role in shaping students' understanding for Islam. They also play a significant role inpromoting moderate Islamic ideologies. In order for curricula to promote such ideologies effectively, they must be adapted with the recent social changes. In order for curricula to promote such ideologies effectively, they must be provided with courses that aim at developing them professionally. Teachers must also have adequate information about sociology, politics, history, and information technology (IT) in order to promote moderate Islamic ideologies effectively (Zuhdi, 2018). Ali (2018) aimed to explore the role of teaching English as a foreign language in promoting moderate Islamic ideologies. He used the observation method to collect data. He also collected data through conducting interviews. He found that teaching English as a foreign language be effectively used for promoting moderate Islamic ideologies among people

Methods and procedures: Approach
A descriptive analytical approach was adopted by the researchers. This approach was adopted to explore the role of the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities in promoting moderate ideologies among students. It is usually adopted when conducting in scientific research in the aim of providing a sensory description for things and objects. It is usually adopted for identifying whether certain sensory attributes of objects are accepted or not. It is also adopted to understand and explore variables and their constituents (Lawless and Heymann, 1999).

Population and Sample:
The population consists from all of the graduate students who are enrolled in the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities. Based on the statistics issued by the Ministry of Higher Education for the year (2019-2020), the population consists form 750 students. A simple random sample was selected. It consists from 344 female and male students. Information about that is illustrated through the table below The study's instrument: A questionnaire was developed based on the relevant studies. It consists from several items. Those items aim at exploring the role of the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities in promoting moderate ideologies among students. They aim to explore this role in several areas: (teaching, scientific research, curricula, and training programs &student activity). They aim to explore that from the graduate students' perspective. The preliminary version of the questionnaire consists from 54 items that shed a light on four(4) areas.

The validity of the questionnaire
To measure the validity of the questionnaire, the preliminary version of the questionnaire was passed to several experts who work as faculty members at Jordanian universities. To be specific, this version was passed to 15 experts. Those experts were asked to assess this version in terms of clarity, language and relevancy. The researchers decided to keep the items that are approved by 80% of the experts. In the light of the experts' opinions, some items were deleted and some language mistakes were corrected. The final version of the questionnaire consists from 48 items that shed a light on 4 areas. Information about that is listed below: 1-The teaching area: 13 items address this area Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.11, No.3, 2020 2-The scientific research area: 10 items address this area 3-The curricula area: 16 items address this area 4-The training programs & student activity area: 9 items address this area

Validity of the questionnaire:
The researchers measured the validity of the questionnaire through calculating the Cronbach Alpha coefficient values. It was found that the latter values are within the range of (0.86-0.95). Those values indicate that the questionnaire is reliable and provides accurate results. The five point Likert scale was adopted: The categories of this scale are: strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly disagree. The scores that are represented by those categories are: 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 respectively. The interval between the categories used for classifying the means is calculated below: (The maximum value-the minimum value) / (the number of the required categories) (5-1) /(3)=1.33 The categories used for classifying the means are calculated below Low: 2.33 or less Moderate: 2.34 -3.67 High: 3.68 or more The Study's variables: The study's variables are listed below: 1-The mediating variables: Those variables are (gender, academic year and academic program) 2-The dependent variable: It's represented in the role of the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities in promoting moderate ideologies among students from the graduate students' perspective. This variable is measured through calculating means.

Statistical analysis:
The researchers calculated the relevant means and standard deviations in order to provide answers to the study's questions:

Results and discussion related to the study's question:
What's the role of the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities in promoting moderate ideologies from the perspective of graduate students? To answer this question, means and standard deviations are calculated. Table (3)presents the results of this question: High It was found that the faculties of Shariah in Jordanian public universities play a moderate role in promoting moderate ideologies among students, because the total mean is 3.44. The total standard deviation is 0.670.
The curricula area is ranked first due to showing a mean of 3.73 which is high. The standard deviation of the latter area is 0.660. The teaching curricula is ranked second, due to showing a mean of 3.50 which is moderate. The standard deviation of the latter area is 0.720.
