Years: 1684 - 1827
Wahhabi thought has a special impact on the history of Qatar.
Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab's ideas prove popular among many of the peninsula tribes, including the Al Thani, before the Al Khalifa attempt to take over the area from Bahrain at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
As a result, Wahhabi beliefs motivate Al Thani efforts to resist the attempt of the Al Khalifa, who reject Wahhabism, to gain control of the peninsula.
Wahhabism will distinguish Qatar religiously from its neighbors in the early twenty-first century.
