The Organizing Committee for the National Day (QND) Celebrations revealed the National Day 2021 slogan. The slogan for Qatar National Day 2021 is “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:

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.

QND 2021 slogan represents the strong relationship of Qataris to their environment since time immemorial, in it, they grew up and were affected by its characteristics, so they coexisted with its nature, sea and land, in all its seasons, and they probed it until it formed an important and influential part in strengthening their identity.

For his part, HE Salah bin Ghanem Al Ali, Chairman of the State National Day Celebrations Organizing Committee and Minister of Culture and Sports, began his intervention with two verses by Qatar’s founder Sheikh Jassim bin Mohamed bin Thani, may Allah rest his soul, he said: With this distinguished beginning, Sheikh Jassim began one of his poems, and this is simply an example of the relationship between Qataris and their environment. This deep emotional dimension remains present in our lives, and it lives on in our relationship with the sea in summer and land in winter”.
