"as-Salām al-ʾAmīrī" (Arabic: السلام الأميري, lit. 'Peace to the Amir') is the national anthem of Qatar, written by al-Shaykh Mubārak bin Sayf al-Thānī and composed by ʿAbdulʿazīz Nāṣṣir al-ʿUbaydān al-Fakhrū.

This was also the title of the Kuwaiti national anthem from 1951 to 1978.

History and use

The anthem was adopted on 7 December 1996 upon the accession of Shaykh Ḥamad bin Khalīfa al-Thānī to the throne. It was first used at a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting held in Qatar in December of that year.

In 2015, Shaykh Mubārak bin Sayf al-Thānī presented the first written draft of the anthem to the Qatar National Museum, where it will be put on display.
