AB - Wasta has an important role in modernizing and socializing Jordan since long ago. Although it has a negative association, to use one’s power or networks to get things done for individual or tribal benefits, it also has positive functions, such as helping in the matters of people in need. In particular, the role of wasta as a mediator among tribal conflicts or individuals are vital. Socially and culturally, wasta is an essential part of Jordan society and can potentially work as a contact point for evangelism among Muslims. Using the example that Jesus is a mediator between God and the fallen people and that through Jesus’redemptive work people can be saved, Muslims can understand the function of mediator and the high standard of qualification to be one, such as a wasta.
