Rivals in the Gulf: Yusuf al-Qaradawi,Abdullah Bin Bayyah, and the Qatar-UAE Contest Over the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis delves into the intricate web of relationships between the Egyptian Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi and the Al Thani royal family in Qatar, as well as between the Mauritanian Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah and the Al Nahyans, the rulers of Abu Dhabi and the senior royal family in the United Arab Emirates. These connections trace back decades, dating back to the early 1960s and 1970s, respectively.

Drawing upon this rich historical backdrop, the book explores the intricate connections between the rival projects of Qaradawis and Bin Bayyahs, as well as the evolution of Qatar and the UAE's distinct state-brands and foreign policies. It raises thought-provoking questions about the dynamics between the Muslim scholarly elite, known as the ulama, and the nation-state.

During the Arab Spring and the Gulf Crisis, Qaradawi and Bin Bayyah played pivotal roles in shaping the competing ideologies of the Al Thanis and Al Nahyans. This book offers fresh perspectives on Doha and Abu Dhabi as hegemonic centers of Islamic scholarly authority, alongside historical centers of learning such as Cairo, Medina, or Qom. It appeals to scholars and enthusiasts interested in modern Islamic authority, the ulama, Gulf politics, the Arab Spring, and its aftermath.
