On the eighth of August 1999, His Majesty King Abdullah II Bin al -Hussein entrusted H.R.H. Crown Prince Hamzah Bin Al -Hussein with the role of presiding over the Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought. His Majesty furthermore expressed his profound trust of H.R.H. Prince Hamzah and his distinguished contributions as well as his interest in the aims of the Aal al-Bayt Institute. His Majesty has also made certain of the noble goals and the benevolent message which the Aal al-Bayt Institute carries, over and above the lofty responsibilities delegated to it for the purpose of serving humankind, and facilitating the mission of confronting the issues, problems and challenges of the time, while formulating the reassuring solutions, along with other noble goals.
