The award is the first of its kind in the Middle East in the field of honouring service to humanity, and has successfully completed two cycles and established its own worldwide presence. The life of His Highness Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa and his great deeds in the fields of charity, reform and construction ranks him among few outstanding figures. In his era, security was wide spread in the state, the administration was improved, trade was boomed, the state was constructed, and all life facilities were reformed.
If we want to talk about reform during his time, we will be unable to cover it in these lines. He believed strongly that sincere and diligent work lasts forever. He also believed that at one day every person will become a memory of their deeds. As the history book will commemorate them, especially their work and their loyal role in building the country, and in ensuring the happiness and welfare of the citizens who were loyal to him and were loving him as he was loyal to them. For bahrainies, Shaikh Isa was truly a history maker, and a the founder of modern state of Bahrain.
