The national anthem of Kuwait (Arabic: النشيد الوطني الكويتي) was written by poet ʾMaham Mishārī al-ʿAdwānī with music composed by and arranged by ʾAḥmad ʿAlī. It was first broadcast on 25 February 1978. Prior to 1978, the "Amiri Salute" was used.[1]
Although the anthem was chosen during the reign of Sheikh Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, it was not used in his era due to his death on 31 December 1977. As it was scheduled to start using the anthem on the day of the celebration of Kuwait’s National Day, and at that time the mourning period for the former Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah was completed.
The anthem is played every day at the beginning of the day in most Kuwaiti schools and on TV and radio stations.
