WATCH: The Emir's interview with Charlie Rose on 60 minutes
HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani's interview with Charlie Rose was aired in the a.m. last night, with many across Qatar and the world tuning in to see his first interview since the blockade of Qatar began on June 5th.
The interview has been highly anticipated in Qatar since HH the Emir was spotted at Katara a few weeks ago with Charlie Rose, a well-known American TV host and interviewer on CBS.

Qatar under the wise leadership of the Emir Sheikh Tamim can continue unlimited & unaffected under the blockade.
However we all want the crisis to end. It is not about winning the blockade. Saudi, Qatar, UAE , Bahrain, Egypt all are brothers . It is ok to have a dispute between brothers for some time once in a while but long term is not acceptable as the families have been divided.
A hadith of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم warns us against prolonging disputes with others:
Do not have ill-will towards one another, do not be envious of one another, do not turn your back on one another; O, servants of Allah, be brothers (and sisters). It is not permissible for a Muslim to remain angry with their brother [in religion] for more than three days. (Bukhari)
Also Allah loves to forgive and loves those who forgive. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One in the heavens will have mercy upon you.”
