%X There had been significant changes in the nature of wars in the 20th century. Previously wars used to be a success achieved in a short time after a struggle of the sides that confront in a battlefield and then wars turned into battles which are long-lasting and take place in vast areas. So it became a obligation to persuade public opinion somehow in order to solve the problems like financing a long-lasting war, supplying the soldiers fighting at the front, substituting the killed and wounded soldiers. In terms of that, governments resorted to propaganda methods in order to get that support of the public opinion. One of the most important tools towards public opinion is religion (belief) and places of worship as practice area for propaganda. Mosques, places of worship in Islam, were utilized as propaganda centers during the First Balkan War (1912-1913) and the public opinion was tried to be directed by means of preaches. This study was prepared to reveal the usage of preaches as a propaganda tool, focusing on the preaches of Aksekili Ahmed Hamdi, Mehmed Fahreddin and Mehmed Akif Bey whose preaches were published in Sabil al-Rashad
