    Abstract: Hassan Al-Banna, a great Islamic intellectual revolutionist of Egypt won global acknowledgement for erudutory contributions to Daʽwah methodology and dynamism. His works have been among the most appealing and influential basis for the Muslim youths championing the course of Islamic Daʽwah (proselytization) in Nigeria. The respect accorded his writings has majorly been accounted for on the grounds of his proven intellectual influence and unified strategy to bring the Muslim youths together on common platform. In view of this, the paper examines the influence of Hassan Al-Banna on the unity of Muslim youths towards the enhancement of strategic approaches to solve divergent socio-religious challenges confronting the youths in Nigeria. This is with particular reference to the co-ordinated Daʽwah activities by the MSSN members regardless of their social strata and backgrounds. The findings revealed that unity of purpose by the MSSN using Hassan Al-Bannā’s works as template in the Nigerian milieu assisted to combat some high level of immoralities and inter-face problems among the youths. The paper concludes that the roles of youths in nation building in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. Finally, it is recommended that juvenile delinquencies can be drastically reduced when youths of proven intelligence and piety are brought together on the platform of unity. This caliber of youths should be allowed to participate in the modalities for national integration and control of crimes.
