Jaberna ..

It was Sunday, at the break of dawn. January 15th, 2006. Cell phones across Kuwait haven't stopped ringing all morning, filling inboxes with text messages carrying painfull, but inevitable, news:

"El Shaikh Jaber tuwafa.."
"3a'6am Allah Ajerkum.."

Sudden as it was, nobody could believe it. I sprang out of bed and switched on to KTV. It was true.

Wa Ra7al Ameer eL Quloob .. Jaber eL A7mad eL Jaber eL 9uba7 ..

During the early hours of this painful day, a miracle was born: a website that opened its doors to all Kuwaities as well as non-Kuwaities to share and forward their condolences to eachother and to Kuwait. Within one day, this forum was filled with loyal members, expressing their grief for the loss of Baba Jaber. Today, www.Jaberna.com is the proud abode of 6,180 members, and still counting! Mashallah! Allahuma zeed wa barek! ..

I recently joined the team of Jaberna.com, with a section of my own to display my work. (Click here to go there). The section, called "Ma3ra'6 eL Awfeya2 eL Fanni," contains sub-sections for the artists that Jaberna.com had adopted. Take a look at the works of the artists and designers - mashalla shay 3ajeeb!
I'd like to stop right here and thank someone who gave me this great opportunity of displaying my work online, and not only in any forum, but the forum that carries the name of our beloved Shaikh Jaber, may his soul rest in peace. "Yateem Jaber" -- thanks for the encouragement and support. Also, Abdullah Al-Ghunaim, the owner and creator of Jaberna.com -- great work! The Kuwaiti people are thankful for your efforts and talents.

Please read the following du3aa':

رحم الله الوالد الشيخ جابر الاحمد الجابر الصباح .. اللهم اغفر له وارحمه وعافه واعف عنه واكرم نزله ووسع مدخله واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد ونقه من الذنوب والخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس اللهم يسر حسابه وأبدله دارا خيرا من داره وأهلا خيرا من أهله وزوجا خيرا من زوجه ، اللهم نور عليه قبره وأمدد له فيه مد بصره وأجعل أول منازله من الجنة ، اللهم ألهم ذويه الصبر والسلوان وأخلفه في أهله بخير
