Hekmat was the Prime Minister of Iran from 18 December to 29 December 1947, but he resigned from the prime ministership before the formation of the government, for this reason, he is not included in the Prime Ministers of Iran.^[2]

He was born in Shiraz in 1891 and died in Tehran in 1978 at the age of 87. Some sources claim that Hekmat’s paternal family were Iranian Jews who had converted to Islam during the mid-nineteenth century.^[3]
