There are Muslim British Doctors already working for QP, I had an appointment with one the other day.
My basic is less that what was offered to your husband, but I have taken the position nonetheless for family reasons such as more time with the family and life is a bit easier for my wife. (QP hours 6.30 to 2.30). Also like you mention there is the opportunity for the kids to learn Arabic and the Quran with one to one tution at cheap prices. This cuts out the mosque runs. Overall the cost of living will be cheaper than the UK, generally. But then again if you're coming from the US you may find Qatar expensive, since some things seem priced against the UK market.
But what your husband really has to consider is whether he wants to give up his position in the UK, especially if it is prestigous.
Money wise if you allow QR 8,000 for a 2 bed flat, then I calculate the package to be around £50k + school fees and accommodation, which isn't too bad, but I'm sure a GP could make more. As a GP I would be looking for around £60k + villa and school fees.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
