At this age, I have lived with five of Kuwait’s honorable rulers, and I grew up as my peers grew up during the era of the late Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem, “the Sheikh of Freedom and the Constitution,” Sheikh
Who stood up to the threats of the ruler of Iraq, Abdul Karim Qasim, preserved the entity of the state and sponsored its scientific and economic renaissance, and passed to the mercy of God Almighty in 1965.
Two weeks before my father died, he mourned him with an unfinished poem that I still have in his red pocket notebook. Even though I was young, I still remember how much…
Sadness and great crying over this great human being whose love is engraved in people’s hearts. Then he was succeeded by Sheikh Sabah Al-Salem, the author of the immortal line of poetry in which he says: (I and my people…
They called us a group. The religion is one and the goal is to serve the people. If the hearts of the people were distressed, they would not conceal an hour that is narrower than their distress and concealed if they were in love. Verses from the heart that embodied the feelings of the rulers.
Kuwait towards their people, and I remember that during his reign, the Iraqi forces attacked the “Al-Samitah” center, and the people rose up calling for arms and stood with their Emir, and centers were opened.
Army for the regiments of students joining the “Fatwa” courses. I was with those who volunteered, and the volunteer certificate is still hanging in my heart before it was on the wall, and I remember the joy.
The overwhelming experience that swept the hearts of Kuwaitis led them to take to the streets celebrating his return from his treatment trip. The people of Kuwait were not asked to go out, and no media influenced the situation.
Their feelings, but what brought them out was the relationship of love and friendliness. There is no hypocrisy or fawning among the people of Kuwait when they speak out of love for their rulers. He passed away to God’s mercy in the month of December.
In 1977, Kuwait mourned the loss of the prince of humility and love, and the era of Jaber came – may God have mercy on him – the prince of hearts, who led the country in the most difficult and bitter times, and was able
To steer the helm of a ship sailing in the storm of the Iraqi-Iranian war, and I remember the brutal assassination attempt he was subjected to, and all he had to do was go to television.
He addressed his people because he knew the extent of the panic and fear that surrounded them. The brutal invasion came and the invader was surprised by the ruler’s relationship with his people, which does not even exist in myths. He found one Kuwaiti to stand with him, and Jaber returned to accept the land of Kuwait. Jaber, the prince of hearts, made our command, so we obeyed him and loved him, and he is still in the heart of every Kuwaiti, and Sheikh Jaber left and came.
Sheikh Saad, the father prince, a companion on the path of Sheikh Jaber and the hero of the liberation of Kuwait, a strong man of dignity and kindness. Upon his departure, the people of Kuwait cried from the heart, and here we are. Today we cry for our Emir Sabah Al-Ahmad, the outstanding leader of humanity and politician, the Emir who shed tears for the victims of the bombing of the Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque and said his immortal words: “These are
My children, the prince who led the country in the midst of the chaos that was called the “Arab Spring revolutions,” and preserved the unity of his people and kept them away from external conflicts. Today we continue our journey with Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad, the humble prince, friend of the mosque, and by God, people and countries will envy us for the blessing we have. And I wrote what I wrote above to convey the truth and conclusive evidence that the relationship of the Al-Sabah family with the people of Kuwait goes beyond the stages of the relationship between the ruler and the ruled. It is a relationship of love, affection, and a bright and flawless history. I hope that God Almighty will perpetuate this blessing and have mercy on our nobles, “Abdullah, Sabah, and Jabir.” “Happy and morning,” and to prolong the life of our Emir Nawaf, maintain his health and well-being, and to protect Kuwait and its people from all harm.
