In the book, she documented her vision on the path of development and the Qatari renaissance, including her articles: Speech of glory, steadfastness and victory, and a talk of honesty, clarity and consistency about the speeches of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of the country in the United Nations and before the Qatari Shura Council. This is in addition to the role of institutions and internal security forces – Lekhwiya in preserving security and its tremendous and creative role in serving society and citizens during the Corona pandemic and the creativity of Qatari women in Lekhwiya force.
She referred to the pioneering role of the Ministry of the Interior and Lekhwia force in combating piracy of the Qatar News Agency and the consequent blockade of Qatar, highlighting its efforts to combat piracy and expose its dimensions.
