About us | Omareyah Schools

Al-Omareyah Schools

were established in 1987 as a pioneering institution on the land of the capital Amman, the jewel of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and its sister city, Zarqa, covering an area of more than forty dunams. They were adorned and prepared to welcome and care for the children of this nation, who are passionate about knowledge and faith. The Umariyah Covenant, inspired by the just caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, has been a timeless message for Omareyah Schools since their inception, serving as a safe haven and a catalyst for creativity and leadership. The school drew its strength from its eternal mission, which stems from our tolerant Islamic faith, led by a steadfast group of education and teaching professionals, all sons of the nation, as one of the product of the Jordanian Islamic Bank. Generations of our students have passed through the lands of Al-Omareyah, whose history is rich with heroism and sacrifices, drawing from knowledge and values that enable them to utilize the resources of their nation and elevate it among the advanced countries. Our schools currently serve more than 5,000 students across various stages of the Umariyah curriculum, including both national and international programs, from kindergarten to grade 12. We provide them with evolving educational environments led by a distinguished group of leaders, supervisors, and teachers with high qualifications.

Among the most significant and greatest covenants, the Commander of the Faithful, Umar ibn al-Khattab, wrote the "Umari Covenant" for the people of Aelia (Jerusalem) in the fifteenth year of Hijra, when he received the keys to the city from the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Sophronius, after the siege led by the nation’s trustee, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, and his army. The people of Aelia surrendered and handed over the keys of Jerusalem, submitting to the authority of Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. Umar then wrote the "Umari Covenant," granting them safety for their lives, property, and churches, while stipulating that Jews should not reside in Aelia and that they should pay the jizya (tax) like the inhabitants of other cities.

Several prominent companions witnessed this covenant, including the Sword of Allah, Khalid ibn al-Walid, the shrewd leader Amr ibn al-As, Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf, and Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan. How glorious Islam and its followers are! How honorable Jerusalem is! And how noble are those who uphold and guard it!

The "Umari Covenant" is closely linked to the Night Journey of our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Upon hearing of the "Umari Covenant," one's mind immediately journeys to Jerusalem, to the glory of Islam under Umar ibn al-Khattab’s leadership, and to a mosque where prayers are rewarded five hundred times over.
