The reference of the origins of Sharia judiciary to the integration of the comprehensive Islamic model in all aspects of life, including the statement of the rights of individuals and groups and their duties and the mechanism for obtaining these rights and their cases. Sharia judiciary judiciary since the era of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, has been working in Sharia judiciary according to the rules and provisions of Islamic law until this day. Since the late King Abdullah bin Al Hussein founded the State of Jordan on April 11, 1921 AD, and formed a civil government in it, he assigned the task of Chief Justice to His Eminence Sheikh Muhammad Al-Khader Al-Shanqiti, where he continued in the seven Sharia courts that had been operating in the East Bank of Jordan since the Ottoman era - which is in fact vast and extended - which are the Sharia courts in Amman, Ma'an, Irbid, Karak, Salt, Jerash and Tafilah. As a result of the development witnessed by the field of Sharia judiciary over these years under the Hashemite era, which gave Sharia judiciary everything it wanted, the number of Sharia courts in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Jerusalem reached seventy-five courts, including the Supreme Court, headquartered in the Department of the Chief Justice in the capital, Amman, and a free trial in each of Jerusalem, Amman, Irbid, and Ma'an. At the beginning of the formation of the state, the Sharia judge provided all legal and criminal details, then the regular judiciary was separated from the Sharia judiciary and a trial and primary court were allocated to it, which was affiliated with the Ministry of Justice. The Sharia judiciary was limited to judging personal cases for Muslims and blood money cases, as well as judicial matters in Islamic endowments, and its courts were allocated to it, the courts of the Chief Justice. The Department of the Chief Justice also supervised the administration of time in the Kingdom until the beginning of 1968 AD, when it was separated from it, and a ministry was created for it under the name of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs and Holy Places. The Department of the Chief Justice is an independent body that does not follow any ministry and is not directly linked to the Prime Minister. The Department of Judges also took over the witnessing of the joint Sharia arbitrators and the appellate court in Jerusalem, as they are subject to the Jordanian Sharia judiciary in everything related to them.
