From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheikh Jaber bin Abdullah (Arabic: جابر بن عبد الله ; Jaber I or Jaber Al-Aish; 1770-1859) was the third ruler of Kuwait's royal Al-Sabah dynasty, ruling from 1814-1859. He is the eldest son of Abdullah bin Sabah who he succeeded upon Sheikh Abdullah's death.
The British had requested that Bin Abdullah allow them to turn Kuwait into a "protectorate", he refused and asserted that Kuwait was an independent nation.
Nicknamed Jaber Al-Aish, Bin Abdullah was said to have generously given rice and bread to the poor.
