Al-Qaradawi menerbitkan dalam memoarnya tentang periode awalnya di Qatar:
“Sejak pidato pertama yang saya berikan di Sekolah Menengah Atas saat pemisahan Suriah dari Mesir, pidato tersebut bersifat politis. Begitulah cara masyarakat diperkenalkan kepada saya sebagai pendatang baru. Segera Sheikh Ibn Turki mengundang saya untuk memperingati peristiwa Isra dan Mi’raj di SMA. Kapan pun ada acara keagamaan, nasional atau sosial, saya diundang untuk berpartisipasi di dalamnya. “
Setelah Ramadhan pertama Qaradawi di Qatar, dia dapat membangun dirinya sendiri di kalangan elit politik Qatar. Ini adalah sesuatu yang selalu diusahakan oleh Ikhwanul Muslimin mengikuti panduan al-Banna sendiri.
“Ketika Ramadan pertama datang saat saya berada di Qatar, Khalifa bin Hamad, Putra Mahkota dan Wakil Gubernur mengundang saya ke istananya dimana rumahnya dan kantornya berada. Saya akan memimpin sholat untuk shalat asr, dan kemudian memberinya pelajaran tentang arti sebuah ayat atau ceramah mengenai topik atau acara tertentu, seperti Pertempuran Badar, penyerahan Mekah atau Lailat al-Qadr. Sheikh Khalifa sangat antusias untuk hadir dan tidak pernah melewatkan sesi tersebut kecuali karena sakit. Di masjid ini saya bertemu dengan sejumlah teman termasuk: Sheikh Salman bin Jassim, yang berasal dari Umm Qarn, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad, salah satu saudara Syekh Khalifa, yang dengannya saya menjadi teman dekat, dia dulu berasal dari daerah Rayyan lama, “kata Qaradawi.
Al-Qaradawi, ketua Persatuan Cendekiawan Muslim Internasional, menyoroti statusnya dibandingkan dengan ilmuwan Qatar lainnya, dan orang-orang di seluruh dunia Arab pada umumnya. Hubungannya dengan pejabat Qatar memperkuat kehadirannya di Qatar.
“Susunan yang dibuat Ibn Turki untuk saya adalah bahwa saya akan pergi ke masjid selama setengah bulan, dan sisa bulan berikutnya seorang sarjana akan memberikan sebuah pelajaran. Tapi Sheikh Khalifa memanggil putra Sheikh Turki mengatakan kepadanya: Mengapa Anda mengubah Qaradawi? Dia mengatakan untuk melakukan diversifikasi. Dia mengatakan kepadanya, “Saya tidak ingin diversifikasi, saya tidak menginginkan yang lain kecuali al-Qaradawi. ‘”
“Saya kembali ke Masjid Sheikh Khalifa dan kemudian saat Syekh memindahkan istananya ke Al Rayyan, dan menjadi penguasa Qatar dia mengganti masjid Al Rayyan dengan sebuah masjid di dalam istananya. Hanya elit yang bisa mendatanginya berdasarkan instruksi dari petugas keamanannya. Syekh tetap tertarik untuk menghadiri ceramah saya dan terus melakukannya sampai anaknya Sheikh Hamad menjadi penguasa. Ini berlangsung selama 36 tahun selama bulan Ramadhan, kecuali satu bulan suci yang saya lewatkan. “
Keadaan mendalam Ikhwanul Muslimin di Qatar tidak hanya dicapai dengan berbaur dengan keluarga penguasa dan cabang-cabangnya, tapi juga melalui undangan Qaradawi kepada teman-temannya dan teman-teman penjara dari Ikhwanul Muslimin dan memberi mereka kontrak pekerjaan di Qatar.
Hal ini memungkinkan Persaudaraan untuk mengintensifkan aktivitas mereka dan menyebarkan gerakan politik mereka ke dalam struktur sosio-politik negara tersebut.
Al-Qaradawi berkata: “Saya memiliki latihan lain selain pelajaran reguler saya saat sholat Al Asr, saat itu dia sedang melakukan shalat Taraweh. Anggota Ahmad Al-Assal menyarankan agar kita membaca sebagian lengkap Alquran setiap malam saat shalat Taraweh selama bulan Ramadan sehingga kita menyelesaikannya pada akhir bulan seperti yang biasa kita lakukan saat berada di penjara militer. Kami menahannya di sebuah masjid di sebelahnya dengan dukungan saudara Azhari seperti Sheikh Abdul Latif Zayed dan Sheikh Mohammed Mahdi dan Sheikh Abdul Mohsen Musa dan Sheikh Sayed Ragab. “
“Kami meluncurkan doa yang memimpin satu baris atau satu baris dan setengah doa di masjid kecil ini, dan dalam beberapa hari jumlah jamaah berlipat ganda, terutama orang Mesir, Palestina, Pakistan dan India,” katanya.
Di antara nama-nama terkemuka yang dibawa al-Qaradawi dari Ikhwanul Muslimin adalah Hassan Issa Abdel-Zaher, yang terkenal dengan penelitiannya, yang menangani Abu al-A’ala al-Mawdoudi (ayah spiritual gerakan Islam politik dan dosen prinsip tata kelola dan ketidaktahuan), yang merupakan penelitian pertama yang dilakukan tentang al-Mawdoudi sejak kematiannya. Ini berjudul “Abu al-A’ala al-Mawdoudi dan setengah abad Jihad dalam Islam”.
Dia telah mengenal Abdel-Zaher, yang menetap di Qatar pada tahun 1978, setelah dia naik ke platform masjid Ishaq dan masjid Hessa al-Sweedy dan sampai dia meninggal di Doha. Dalam beberapa tahun, persaudaraan Muslim berkembang. Yusuf al-Qaradawi mengatakan: “Jumlah ini meningkat dan dengan munculnya kebangkitan Islam kontemporer di pertengahan 70an abad ke-20, jadi kami pindah ke Masjid Al Shoyoukh, masjid terluas terbesar.”

Al-Qaradawi published in his memoirs about his early period in Qatar:
“Since the first speech I gave in high school on the occasion of Syria’s separation from Egypt, the speech was of a political nature. This is how the public was introduced to me as a new comer. Soon Sheikh Ibn Turki invited me to commemorate the Isra and Mi’raj event during high school. Whenever there was a religious, national or social event, I was invited to participate in it.”
After Qaradawi’s first Ramadan in Qatar, he was able to establish himself among the Qatari political elites. This was something the Muslim Brotherhood has always sought to achieve following al-Banna’s own guidelines.
“When the first Ramadan came while I was in Qatar, Khalifa bin Hamad, Crown Prince and Deputy Governor invited me to his palace where his home and his office was. I would lead the Sheikh for Asr prayer, and then give him a lesson about the meaning of a verse or lecture on a particular topic or occasion, such as the Battle of Badr, Mecca’s surrender or Lilat al-Qadr. Sheikh Khalifa was keen to attend and never missed those sessions except due to an illness. In this mosque I met a number of friends including: Sheikh Salman bin Jassim, who came from Umm Qarn, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad, one of the brothers of Sheikh Khalifa, with whom I became a close friend, he used to come from old Rayyan area,” Qaradawi said.
Al-Qaradawi, head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, highlighted his status compared to other Qatari scholars, and those across the Arab world in general. His relations with the Qatari officials strengthened his presence in Qatar.
“The arrangement that Ibn Turki made for me was that I would go to the mosque for half a month, and the rest of the month another scholar would give a lesson. But Sheikh Khalifa called Sheikh Turki’s son told him: Why did you change Qaradawi? He said to diversify. He told him, “I do not want diversification, I don’t want any other but al-Qaradawi.’”
“I went back to Sheikh Khalifa Mosque and then when the Sheikh transferred his palace to Al Rayyan, and became the ruler of Qatar he replaced the mosque of Al Rayyan with a mosque inside his palace. Only the elite could come to him based on instructions from his security men. The Sheikh remained keen to attend my lectures and continued to do so until his son Sheikh Hamad became ruler. This lasted for 36 years during Ramadan, with the exception of one holy month that I missed.”
The Muslim Brotherhood’s profound state in Qatar was not only reached by mingling with the ruling family and its branches, but also through Qaradawi’s invites to his friends and prison mates from the Muslim Brotherhood and giving them job contracts in Qatar.
This allowed the Brotherhood to intensify their activities and spread their political movement within the socio-political structure of the country.
Al-Qaradawi said: “I had another practice besides my regular lesson during Al Asr prayer, it was performing the Taraweeh prayer. Member Ahmad Al-Assal suggested that we read a full part of the Quran every night during Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan so that we complete it by the end of the month just the way we used to do while we were in the military prison. We held it in a mosque next door with the support of Azhari brothers such as Sheikh Abdul Latif Zayed and Sheikh Mohammed Mahdi and Sheikh Abdul Mohsen Musa and Sheikh Sayed Ragab.”
“We launched the prayer leading a row or a row and a half of praying men in this small mosque, and within a few days the number of worshipers multiplied, especially the Egyptians, Palestinians, Pakistanis and Indians,” he said.
Among the prominent names that al-Qaradawi brought from the Muslim Brotherhood was Hassan Issa Abdel-Zaher, who was famous for his research, which dealt with Abu al- A’ala al-Mawdoudi (the spiritual father of the movements of political Islam and lecturer of the principles of governance and ignorance), which was the first research done about al-Mawdoudi since his death. It was entitled “Abu al- A’ala al-Mawdoudi and half a century of Jihad in Islam”.
He had known Abdel-Zaher, who settled in Qatar in 1978, after he ascended the platform of the Ishaq mosque and Hessa al- Sweedy mosque and until he died in Doha.
In a few years, the Muslim brotherhood expanded. Yusuf al-Qaradawi said: “The number increased and with the emergence of contemporary Islamic awakening in the mid-70s of the 20th century, so we moved to the Al Shoyoukh Mosque, the largest widest mosque.”
