This research explores the influential role of Islamic preaching, known as dakwah, in nurturing and reinforcing nationalistic values among young Muslims. It emphasizes the significance of integrating religious teachings with messages of patriotism to shape the mindset and attitudes of the youth towards their nation.

Ultimately, this research highlights the dual function of dakwah as both a spiritual guide and a catalyst for patriotic consciousness in the younger Muslim population.
