As part of the National Day mission to promote loyalty, solidarity, unity and national pride, The State National Day Celebrations Organizing Committee announces the updated slogan for the 2021 Qatar national day:

ANCESTRAL MEADOWS: A MATTER OF TRUST

The new slogan is based on the poetry of the founder of Qatar, Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Bin Thani, may Allah rest his soul, and represents the strong relationship of Qataris to their environment since time immemorial.

Oh, how many caravans have passed by,

Leaving behind vestiges of the fluctuations of the times,

Abodes our sights are accustomed to as the seasons slip by,

Our meadows ornamented with herbs.

The Qatari people mirror the simplicity of their environment, and the gentleness of their morals and humility is rooted in the gentleness of the land.

Qataris have always been wise and courageous, believing that life is lived through interaction with others. They traveled in the land that Allah gave them, taking care of it without extravagance.

Their attachment to their environment increased their love for their homeland and their sense of belonging and pride in it, which is apparent in their songs and poems.
