The Hakimid Dynasty, is a new dynasty from what is now Ārai Peninsula, on the North-western tip of Small Mala’ita island in the Solomon Islands, which ruled the island of Rau’ahu and parts of the coastal shores of Ārai Peninsula from 2018 to present. Hakimids family is an offshoot of the chief tribe called Karenipuri, of Paurahaomae Kingdom (iora), South Mala'ita, Solomon Islands. They were descendants of Abdul Hakim Nooruddin Apani'ai, son of Michael Peter Horahanua IU (Known as: Al–Kindi), son of Joseph Tahisimae, son of Peter Araiasi, son of Apani'ai, son of Horahanua Kope, who was the son of the ancestor Hataimarau, of Ta'aru island, South Mala'ita.

The dynasty was founded by Abdul Hakim Nooruddin Apani’ai, a Muslim scholar and Ex–Missionary belonging to the Ahmadiyya sect in Islam. The aim and objective of establishing the dynasty was to spread the Islamic religion far and wide, and to pull the entire Ārai peninsula under Islamic influence.

The Hakimids capital, Cordoba, was founded by Sultan Hakim in January 2021. Then later, in January 2022, Istanbul was also established as an administrative sub-Centre; both Centres situated on the Ārai peninsula.

The Hakimids Dynasty was founded by Sultan Hakim in 2012, at age of 24 years old. It was not until May 2018, that the dynasty was firmly established, after Hakim Nooruddeen Apani'ai had declared himself as the first Sultan of the dynasty. The sultanate of Rau'ahu was ran by the Hakimids.

On May 26, 2018, after his second marriage, the Hakimids father, Hakim ibn Al-Kindi, son of Al-Kindi (Michael Iuhaniramo) and a former Missionary In-Charge for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Solomon Islands, came to power in northern Ārai, in small Mala'ita, Solomon Islands. Seven months later, in December, he declared himself sultan of an independent Hakimids state. Thus, the Sultanate of Rau'ahu was established and as a fact it continues to the present.

In early January 2021, he captured the island of Rau'ahu (in present-day Ārai Peninsula) and established his capital on the Island. 

In February 2021, Tawaroto (now Cordoba) on the mainland coast, was also captured by Hakim and immediately established himself in his former ancestral territories. In December of the same year, Hakim captured yet another new location, Āhu'i (now Istanbul) where he set up his first resident, and which would later become an administrative sub-centre.

The primary objective of establishing the dynasty was to spread the beautiful religion of Islam far and wide, throughout the the country, and with the aim of capturing the whole of Ārai peninsula under the Islamic control.
