Adolescents are experiencing development and transition of childhood thought to adulthood. Within this period, religious preachers should instill the appropriate approach of da’wah to cater this group of individuals. To ensure that the medium of da’wah is suitable to the needs of the target group, it is essential to select the most appropriate psychological da’wah approach. Therefore, this study aims to identify and understand the approach of da’wah to adolescents, so that the purpose of preaching can be effectively implemented. This study also aims in identifying the basic da’wah approach as mentioned in the al-Quran. This is a qualitative study where analysis of related documents were carried out.
