Ahmed Bin Muhammad Bin Khalifa


Ahmed ibn Muhammad ibn Khalifa (Arabic: أحمد بن محمد بن خليفة‎‎), was the progenitor of the ruling Al Khalifa family of Bahrain and the first monarch or hakim of Bahrain. All of the Al Khalifa monarchs of Bahrain are descendants of Ahmed ibn Muhammad ibn Khalifa. He is commonly referred to as Ahmed al-Fateh (Ahmed the Conqueror) for conquering Bahrain.

Ahmed ibn Muhammed ibn Khalifa was born in Kuwait in the first half of the 18th century and died around 1795 AD in Bahrain.

When Nasr Al-Madhkur – whom the Zands had appointed as Bahrain's governor – besieged Zubara in 1783 AD, he was defeated and driven away by an army under the command of Al Bin Ali, the maternal uncles of Ahmed ibn Muhammed ibn Khalifa, who continued his victories and conquered Bahrain in 1783 AD

His family lost Qatar in the nineteenth century and were left with Bahrain which they still rule today.

He had four children: Abdulla, Salman, Mohamed and Yousif.

Today, Abdulla ibn Ahmad Al Khalifa descendants live in Qatar, while Salman ibn Ahmad Al Khalifa's descendants live in Bahrain.
