Muhammad Al-Sabah

Muhammad Al-Sabah Al-Sabah, also known as Noor Al Sabah, (1838 – 1896) was the sixth ruler of Kuwait between May 1892 and 1896 during which he held the title of Pasha from the Ottoman Sultan. He was the second son of Sabah II Al-Sabah and succeeded his half-brother Abdullah II Al-Sabah upon his death in 1892. 
When Sheikh Muhammad came to power, disagreements soon arose with his brother Mubarak. Muhammad dealt with this by occupying Mubarak with foreign affairs, dispatching him to Hasa with an Ottoman force, and to the desert in order to settle affairs amongst tribes without providing funding. In 1896, Mubarak summoned his sons Jaber and Salim, and some supporters, and rode to Kuwait where they secretly entered Sheikh Muhammad's house. Sheikh Muhammad and his brother Jarrah were assassinated in his house by Mubarak Al-Sabah on 17 May 1896. Following the assassination Mubarak Al-Sabah became the ruler of Kuwait and the sons of Sheikh Muhammad and Sheikh Jarrah exiled to al Zubayr and stayed there until 1921.
