ALBAWABA - King Abdullah II, King of Jordan, presented Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah with a sword from "Bani Hashem swords" during a dinner banquet at Madareb Bani Hashem in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on the occasion of the prince's wedding.

The sword that King Abdullah II gifted to his son, the Crown Prince, is a copy of the sword of His Majesty King Abdullah I, which was made in the Hijaz in 1916.

The gifted sword was made in Jordan specifically for the occasion of the wedding of the Crown Prince, and it is made of iron extracted from the stones surrounding Ajloun Castle.

Inscribed on the sword is the Quranic verse, “If Allah supports you, no one can overcome you." (Quran 3:160) 

The sword symbolizes justice and defense of the homeland.
