Rivals in the Gulf: Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Abdullah Bin Bayyah, and the
Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis details
the relationships between the Egyptian Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi and
the Al Thani royal family in Qatar, and between the Mauritanian
Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Al Nahyans, the rulers of Abu
Dhabi and senior royal family in the United Arab Emirates. These
relationships stretch back decades, to the early 1960s and 1970s
respectively. Using this history as a foundation, the book examines
the connections between Qaradawi's and Bin Bayyah's rival projects
and the development of Qatar's and the UAE's competing state-brands
and foreign policies. It raises questions about how to theorize the
relationships between the Muslim scholarly-elite (the ulama) and
the nation-state. Over the course of the Arab Spring and the Gulf
Crisis, Qaradawi and Bin Bayyah shaped the Al Thani's and Al
Nahyan's competing ideologies in important ways. Offering new ways
for academics to think about Doha and Abu Dhabi as hegemonic
centers of Islamic scholarly authority alongside historical centers
of learning such as Cairo, Medina, or Qom, this book will appeal to
those with an interest in modern Islamic authority, the ulama, Gulf
politics, as well as the Arab Spring and its aftermath.
