Introduction
The national
Anthem of the
State of Qatar
was adopted with
dawning of a new
era when H.H.
the Emir Sheikh
Hamad Bin
Khalifa Al-Thani
assumed the
reign of power.
It was performed
for the first
time on Saturday
7th 1996 during
the reception of
GCC leaders on
the occasion of
the 17th GCC
summit held in
Doha.
A brief note
about the
meaning of the
Anthem
The Anthem
starts by an
oath: In the
name of Allah,
who elevated the
sky and spread
the light, Qatar
shall always
remain free,
honorable and
dignified with
its glories
hovering high by
the spirit of
the sincere and
faithful.
The first part
of the Anthem
urges citizens
of Qatar to
remain committed
to tread the
path of their
forefathers, who
were honorable,
respectable,
knowledgeable,
religious,
empowered by
wisdom and
vision, and to
follow the
guidance of the
prophets and
their preaching
about
righteousness,
good deads and
beauty. In the
hearts of
Qataris, Qatar
is a story of
nobility and
glory that no
one can deny and
deface.
In the second
and last part,
the Anthem
affirms that the
Qatari men of
today are
defenders of its
land and
dignity, they
are descendents
of the ancestors
who defended it
in the past and
registered
glorious annals
of history in
words that
shine.
Like their
forefathers,
they are
pioneers in all
fields, they are
doves in peace
times, and hawks
of the day of
combat. The
Anthem closes by
reaffirming that
Qatar will
remain free,
dignified,
glorious and
noble hovering
high by the
souls of the
faithful and
sincere |
