Sheikh Abu Salman Sabah I bin Jaber Al Sabah (c. 1700–1762) was the inaugural ruler of the Sheikhdom of Kuwait, chosen by his community for the esteemed position of sheikh. The families of the Bani Utbah arrived in Kuwait in the mid-1700s, settling after obtaining permission from the Emir of al-Hasa, Sa'dun bin Muhammad, who reigned from 1691 to 1722. In 1718, the town of Kuwait's family heads gathered and elected Sabah I bin Jaber as the Sheikh of Kuwait, effectively becoming a governor under the Emir of Al Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait gained independence through a landmark agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Al Hasa, leading to Al Hasa recognizing Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait. In return, Kuwait agreed not to align with or support Al Hasa's adversaries or interfere in the emirate's internal affairs. Following his passing, Sabah I was succeeded by his youngest son, Abdullah bin Sabah. This historical figure played a pivotal role in the formation and early governance of Kuwait, leaving a lasting impact on the region's history and development.
Sheikh Sabah II bin Jaber Al-Sabah, born around 1784, was the fourth ruler of the Sheikhdom of Kuwait, leading from 1859 until November 1866. He followed in the footsteps of his father, Jaber I Al-Sabah, and was later succeeded by his eldest son, Abdullah II Al-Sabah. Sheikh Sabah II's reign marked a significant period in Kuwait's history, contributing to the country's development and governance during his time in power. His legacy continues to resonate in Kuwait's rich historical tapestry.
