Life story
Isa Sayed Ahmed Mohammed Al-Tajir was born in Jidhafs on 1 February 1912, the son of Sayed Ahmed Al-Tajir and Shaima Mustafa Al-Mahmeed. As a boy he learned the Quran at the local kuttab. In 1933 he married Asma Ali Al-Zayani. They had four children: Sara, Shaima, Kawthar and Hani. The loss of Kawthar in early childhood was the greatest sorrow of his life. He took over the family store and in 1950 registered it as Al-Tajir Trading Company, importing rice and sugar from India. He died in Manama on 10 March 1970, at the age of 58.
