From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mubarak bin Rashid Jassim Al Khater (Arabic: الأستاذ مبارك بن راشد جاسم الخاطر, born in 1935 in Muharraq, died 2001) was a Bahraini historian, writer, and poet.[1][2] He attended the Al-Hidaya Al-Khalifia Boys' School in Muharraq, then finished secondary school in Manama with a diploma in commerce.[3] He worked after graduation at the Courts Administration, a division of the Ministry of Justice (1955-1967), the Ministry of Waqf (1967-1982), and the Ministry of Information (1982-1994). Retiring in 1994, he belonged to the National Council for Culture, Arts, and Literature, Sunni Waqf Council, Union of Arab Historians, the Al Eslah Society, the International Islamic Literature Association, and the Bahrain History and Antiquities Society.

Among the most influential historians of the region, he played a key role in documenting the early history of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf with a wide body of non-fiction and poetic work starting in the late 1960s.[4]
