Life and education

Sheikh Hamad was born in Doha, Qatar in 1959. He is the 5th son of Sheikh Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani. Through his father, he is the grandson of Sheikh Jabr bin Muhammed Al Thani. Sheikh Jabr was a younger brother of H.H. Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, founding father of the modern Qatar and 1st Emir of the state. Although 52-years younger than his brother, Sheikh Jabr was of great importance in helping the first Emir to establish a stable country. The 8th and former Emir of Qatar, H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, is Hamad's 2nd cousins once removed.

On 16 September 2003, Hamad was appointed First Deputy Prime Minister while retaining his position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. On 2 April 2007, he was appointed as Prime Minister of Qatar, following the resignation of H.E. Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalifa al-Thani; he continued to serve as Foreign Minister.[3]
