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.

Early life and education

Hakim is the eldest son of Prince Amyn al-Bahri Hikmat-i-llah, the son of the 32nd Auxiliary Imam, and Princess Sharifa Amina (née Catherina van Limburg Stirum). 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.
