Qatar has played a vital role in the advocating human rights and ensuring diversity of religions and identities. The general objective of this research is to introduce the State of Qatar’s initiative for interfaith dialogue as the first Arab initiative after the events of 9/11. The importance of the study is its attempt to present a new addition to the field of knowledge and open the door to study the Arab initiatives for interfaith dialogue, and the circumstances of their emergence. Due to the nature of this study, which focuses on describing and analysing reality to show the contexts of the Qatari initiative, it is based on the descriptive analytical approach, which is used to study the current conditions of the phenomena in terms of their characteristics, forms, relationships, and factors influencing them. The research reached several conclusions, the most prominent of which is that the State of Qatar was the first to launch a religious dialogue in the Arab Gulf region under the auspices of the official authorities.
