While language facilitates communication and understanding, it can also be an obstacle if not used properly. Successful communication in a country such as Qatar, with multiple languages, becomes doubly critical in a crisis situation such as COVID-19 because it ensures the health and safety of all. In this lecture, Dr. Rizwan Ahmad from Qatar University and Dr. Sara Hillman from Texas A&M University at Qatar will discuss their research on the government’s use of languages other than Arabic and English during the COVID-19 awareness campaign in Qatar. Their research shows that the government used up to 12 languages to deliver health information to different language-speaking groups in Qatar, which helped contain the spread of the virus.

Throughout history, Muslims have devoted an abundance of care and attention to serving their First Book in both its content (the very text of the Qur’an) and physical form (the Mus'haf; which was and still is handwritten, produced in manuscript form, and later in printed or digital formats).
