"Dengan Menyebut Nama Allah" (English: "In the Name of Allah" or "Saying the Name of Allah") is a song recorded, co-written, composed and arranged by Indonesian musician, songwriter and record producer Dwiki Dharmawan. It was released independently in March 1993, as the lead single of Dwiki's special album of the same name, through Musica Studios as its distributor. Written by Ags. Arya Dipayana and features vocals performed by singer and actress Novia Kolopaking, it is primarily an Islamic-influenced pop song with keyboards and choir-like vocals, while the lyrics hint towards themselves do many ways to feel good.

It entered the Aneka Top 13 Hits Indonesia chart at number seven, marking Kolopaking's only Islamic song to chart. The song received positive reviews from critics, who praised the lyrics. It has also been featured in various films and television programs and covered by many artists, in their different renditions, including the band Gigi and internet celebrity Nagita Slavina.
