    This thesis highlights the political thought of H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, a man who made decisive contributions to the history of the twentieth century, and the various reflections of this political thought on the UAE, its people and the international community at large. In this regard, it explores and analyzes a multifaceted political thought that took its form in political practice in the establishment of the Federation, the management of crises and in the building of a prosperous enduring nation. Evaluating the factors that influenced the formation of the doctrinal matrix of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, this thesis traces the background from within which Sheikh Zayed’s leadership skills evolved and developed. From his early years onwards, Sheikh Zayed made a firm commitment to undertake the considerable task of building a fully fledged state out of a divided tribal background, improve the lives of citizens, and carve a place for the UAE in the international arena. This research project illustrates the implications and dimensions of Sheikh Zayed's political thinking process exemplified in his discursive statements and actions. It documents and analyzes the career achievements of Sheikh Zayed, a statesman acknowledged by contemporary and future generations to have had significant impact on the political direction and overall development of the UAE. This impact also demonstrates the potential of his contribution to the field of political thought. One of this study’s primary conclusions is that the accomplishments of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan during his rule have resulted primarily from his development of an integrated doctrine of governance that reflected his humanistic outlook. In this regard, at both the domestic and international levels, Sheikh Zayed’s political decisions and acts were undertaken with reference to this outlook

    تُعَدُّ فَتْرةُ حُكْمِ الشَّيخِ مُحمدٍ بن ثاني لِقَطرَ خِلالَ القرن التاسعَ عَشَرَ من أصعب الفترات في تاريخ قَطر الحديث، وذلك نظرًا للظروف التي كانت تَمرُّ بها البلادُ مِن النَّاحية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية، فضلًا عن النِّزَاعات الْحُدوديَّة، وفِي ظِلِّ التنافُسِ بين بريطانيا والدولة العثمانية في مِنْطَقة الْخَليجِ الْعربيّ. وفِي ظِلِّ هذا الْوضعِ الصَّعب لمْ يَكُنْ تَأْسِيسُ الدَّولة سهلًا أو مُيسَّرًا، فقد كان على الشَّيخِ مُحمدٍ بن ثاني القيامُ بالآتي: تَوحِيد القبائل تحت حُكمه في ظِلِّ نِظام حديثٍ يقوم على الحُكم المركزي تسودُه العدالةُ والمساواةُ بينَ جميعِ المُواطنين، وإنشاء قِوَّة عسكرية للدِّفاع عن الوطن والمواطن، والتحالُف مع الدولة العثمانية للْحِفاظ على كِيان الوطن واستقلاله وعدم السَّماح لأيِّ دولةٍ بالتَّدخُل في شؤون الْبِلاد الدَّاخليَّة. وانتهجت القيادةُ السِّياسيَّة ممثلةً بحاكم البلاد الشيخ محمد بن ثاني سياسة حَكيمة في عَلاقَاتِها مع دول الجوار، وكذلك مع بقيَّة الدول الشقيقة والصديقة تَقوم على الاحترام المتبادل، وعَدم التَّدخُل في شُؤون الآخرين؛ لهذا يمكننا القولُ: إنَّ قَطر سواء في عهد الشيخ محمد بن ثاني أو مَن أَتَى مِنْ بَعْده مِن حُكَّام آل ثاني، لم يعتدوا على أيِّ دولة مِن دول الجوار، وإنَّ الْحُروب التي جَرت بين قَطرَ وبعض جيرانها، إنما كانت دِفاعًا عن البلاد واستقلالها. واستمرَّ الشيخ محمد بن ثاني في حُكم البلاد حتى تاريخ وفاته في شهر ديسمبر 1878م؛ ليخلفه في الحُكم ابنُه ووليُّ عهده الشيخُ قاسمٌ بن محمد آل ثاني.The reign of Sheikh Mohammed bin Thani of Qatar during the nineteenth century is one of the most challenging periods in the history of modern Qatar due to the economic and social conditions the country was going through. This is in addition to the border disputes in light of the rivalry between Britain and the Ottoman Empire in the Arabian Gulf region. During that difficult situation, the establishment of the State was not easy. Sheikh Mohammed bin Thani had to do the following: a) Unite the tribes under his rule in a modern system based on the central rule of justice and equality among all citizens. b) Establish a military force to defend the homeland and citizens. C) Ally with the Ottoman State to preserve the entity and independence of the homeland, and d) not allow any states to interfere in the country’s internal affairs. The political leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Thani adopted a wise policy in its relations with neighboring countries as well as with the rest of the brotherly and friendly countries based on mutual respect and non-interference in the affairs of others. Therefore, we can assume that Qatar, whether during the reign of Sheikh Mohammed bin Thani or those who succeeded him from the rulers of Al-Thani, did not attack any of the neighboring countries. Moreover, the wars that took place between Qatar and some of its neighbors were in defense of the country and its independence. Sheikh Mohammed bin Thani continued to rule the country until his death in December 1878, to be succeeded by his son, Crown Prince Sheikh Qasim bin Mohammed Al Thani
