The Hashemites assumed throughout Arab history a responsible role , based upon a historical legacy.

The Hashemites led the Arabs, succeeded in building an Arab order, laid the foundations for an Arab unity example that would guarantee rights and regulate duties, protected human dignity and sovereignty, and catered for the individual Arab 'personality'. The Hashemites offered an approach to governance and an example in uniting societies. They built the 'state' that began with the gathering at 'Dar al Nadwa', and Al Fadhoul pact, to the greater Islamic state, with several empires. The Hashemites were the only hope when calamities befell. They would rise up to assume the roles demanded of them, forsaking past animosities. They took the lead of revolutions, political leadership and governance management, aiming for no more than the good and well being of their nation.

History witnessed in the land of Hijaz a Kingdom ruled by the Hashemites, which extended to Persia and Busra. They built order and unity, but the decline that swapped Arab lands, soon dropped dark drapes for a while. The Hashemites were soon to lead a new dawn for Arabs, thus regaining glory of the Arabs at the beginning of the twentieth century. King Abdullah I summed up the Hashemites role when he declared that "We, the household of the Prophet, are the reason behind all Kingdoms, and Arab monarchies seen today."

The Hashemites were acknowledged for truthfulness and honesty at every encounter, preparedness to participate in all efforts of help and readiness to present Arab causes on the international arena. Their relentless call for Arab unity, self sufficiency, deplore of all forms of terrorism, and call for dialogue and responsible logic and rhetoric are all demonstrated by His Majesty King Abdullah II, along the course set by the great members of the 'household of the Prophet.'
