Siyyid Hussain al-Hakim Billah (Jawi:سيد حُسَيْن الحكيم بلله; Andjanian: ᮞᮃᮚᮤᮓ ᮠᮥᮞᮃᮚᮔ ᮃᮜᮠᮃᮊᮤᮙ ᮘᮤᮜᮜᮃᮠ) (Born Prince Hakim al-Rahim ibn Amyn al-Bahri Hikmat-i-llah; 14 December 1937) is the 33rd and current Auxiliary Imam of Esoteric Shi'ism as well as head of the Shia Convocation, the supreme governing body of Astyria's Esoteric or Batini Shias. He has been Auxiliary Imam since his accession on 22 November 1960 when he succeeded his grandfather, Siyyid Husayn al-Karim, at the age of 23.

Name

Born Prince Hakim al-Rahim, he chose the regnal name Hussain al-Hakim Billah upon acceding to the Auxiliary Imamate. The title Siyyid is prefixed to the name of every Auxiliary Imam. In common parlance, he is often referred to by the name Siyyid Hussain or simply by his ex officio title 'The Auxiliary Imam'.

Early life and education

Hakim is the eldest son of Prince Amin al-Bahri Hikmat-i-llah, the son of the 32nd Auxiliary Imam, and Princess Kazima al-Bahri Hikmat-i-llah (née Catherina van Limburg Stirum). He has a younger brother, Prince Hasan. Hakim belongs to the Batini family, which is recognised as one of the princely families of Hindia Belanda and the only one that does not have a right to sit in the Dewan Bangsawan, the upper chamber of the Hindia Belandan parliament. His family has produced twenty Auxiliary Imams since the accession of Siyyid Ishaq II, the 14th Auxiliary Imam, in 1592.

Hakim was born in Koninstad, Noordenstaat on 14 December 1937 at Ziekenhuis INSERTNAME. At the time, his father Prince Amin worked as the director of the Commonwealth Collection Trust's Lorecian Office for Acquisitions, headquartered within the High Commission of Hindia Belanda in Koninstad. Two years after Hakim's birth, his parents moved to Jakarta where his younger brother, Prince Hasan, was born. His early childhood was spent in Jakarta and on Mount Ilias where he stayed with his grandfather, Siyyid Husayn al-Karim, the then-Auxiliary Imam, and his grandmother, Lady Habiba at Villa Anwar for three years before being sent to Allord College in Great Nortend

As a Dominostrian

From the age of ten, Hakim attended Allord College, a prestigious boarding school situated in Allord, Great Nortend.
