Abstract :The aim of this research is to shed light on the modernisation process of Qatar as the research question has been formulated as “is it possible to evaluate the modernising path of Qatar from the viewpoint of a theory?”. The importance of the study lies in its potential to address an important gap in the literature as there is a lack of research relating to Qatar’s modernisation process from a theoretical perspective, particularly from the lenses of multiple modernities paradigm (MMP). For conducting this case study, a disciplined configurative approach has been the underlying strategy as the aim was to differentiate it from a pure narrative. The basic assumption prevalent throughout the article has been the idea that religion should not be seen as a hindrance to following a path towards modernity.
