Person opens his eyes to the earth and looks around him to find his parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, society, home, and the place where he was born, grew up, reached youth, and then old age. This is called the homeland. For this reason, his love for the land and family is innate and increases day after day in his life. This love and loyalty increase if the aggressor tries to expel him from his land and exploit its wealth and ruins or occupy his homeland. In the meantime, the citizen sacrifices his soul and blood in order to preserve his land, as is the case in Palestine. The subject that I studied is extracting the features of love for the homeland from the national anthems of the Arab countries. The basic subject of the anthem is to instill feelings and emotions towards love for the homeland and the pain of sacrificing everything dear and cheap that the citizen owns for it. I found that love for the homeland has two main characteristics: the first is the homeland in explicit terms, and the second is the ornamentation of showing love for the homeland in implicit terms. Therefore, I presented Eleven methods, and all methods demonstrate concern for the homeland and a willingness to sacrifice blood and soul when needed.
