Bangladesh has one of the highest population densities globally, and it is estimated at 164 million Muslims in 2020. Among them, 33% are Muslim youth. Many da'wah personalities and organisations have been working to disseminate and actualise the true spirit of Islam among Muslims. However, these da'wah entities are less aware of the youth society's concerns in many ways. This study has attempted to describe the religious climate in Bangladesh in general and the reasons for the less applicability of existing da'wah activities to the youth society. It has been argued that Islam's fundamental principles and teachings remain blurry to the Muslim youth, and they are growing up to develop anti-Islamic notions and perceptions. Therefore, da'is are facing many challenges in making da'wah for the youth. This study adopts a qualitative method; it employed the ethnographic method and scoping review. Besides, the semi-structured interview method conducted with the experts to obtain sufficient information on the subject matter. Moreover, textual analyses will be implemented based on Qur’anic and Sunnatic text to describe more details and offer the solution. Data will be collected through document analysis, including government publications, literature reviews, contemporary reports, and internet sources. The study has explored some fundamental challenges and ended with a set of proposals in light of the Qur'anic text and prophetic model, which may contribute to remedying the predicament facing the da'wah effort in Bangladesh. The research is expected to be a turning point in positively dealing with the related challenges, and upcoming dais will benefit more.
