Yet, due to the different aims of those courses aforementioned, the education provided show differences as well. For instance, the purpose of Arabic language taught in Theology faculties is to provide an understanding of Arabic texts in such courses as Kalam, Hadith, Islamic law, Islamic philosophy and Islamic sects given in the upper classes. Whereas, Arabic Language taught in the department of Arabic Language Education aims to teach Arabic as language in several fields literally and rhetorically.
