I fixed it now and it says “former Crown Prince and Emir of Kuwait”, is that correct?
5. Dana | May 13th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
He was the Emir for 9 days. From when Sheikh Jaber died, up to Sheikh Sabah (January 24). So that’s 9 days.

Yeah. Thanks.

I was on Gulf Rd and I did not know what was going on but so many police cars and guards were by his palace… a few seconds later the fm radio station turned into Quran! I got confused but shortly after I received a text msg on my cell about it

اللهم ارحم (الشيخ سعد) رحمه واسعه وتغمده برحمتك , اللهم أرحمه فوق الأرض وتحت الأرض ويوم العرض عليك , اللهم قه عذابك يوم تبعث عبادك , اللهم أنزل نورا من نورك عليه , اللهم نور له قبره ووسع مدخله وأنس وحشته , اللهم وأرحم غربته وشيبته , اللهم أجعل قبره روضه من رياض الجنه لاحفره من حفر النار, اللهم اغفر له وارحمه , واعف عنه وأكرم نزله

We grew up looking at pictured hung high on our shcools, right at the auditorium’s walls which has two smilling respected men. Baba Jaber & baba Saad were the father figures for every litlle girl and boy. We sang songs that carried their names, and these two men were really what represented to our childesh minds something big called government. As a 29 years old woman they are still Baba Jaber and baba saad and they always will be remembered and cherished.
May they both rest in peace.

Today Kuwait and the world lost a brave man who loved his country and his people and they both loved him back. He was a hero and voice of Kuwait during the invitation and he was a force for good and reform during peace. He is respected by all and they all shall pay him respect once more.

May ALLAH have mercy on his soul and may he rest in peace. I still remember the days we used to see him alongwith Baba Jaber smiling with care over huge portraits on buildings & schools as they were showing affection towards their nation. Still remember the day we saw him on TV when he came back from the summit with unpleased gestures and next day Iraq invaded Kuwait.

He was the only kuwaiti in a political position of power that not only cared about the Kuwaiti’s but everyone living in Kuwait. For that in-prejudice, clear, non-discriminative mindset and life, May his soul rest in peace.
33. caleb | May 14th, 2008 at 9:53 am
really? did he care about non kuwaitis? i confess i dont know much about him - can any one point me in the way of a biography online?

Baba Saad you will always stay on our minds you are the Amir no one else , he and Baba Jaber are the only ones who truly loved this country . Allah yer7emik ya shaikhna allah yer7amkom
