al-Wataniyyah - You must know not to be patriotic. The Prophet (saw) said,

“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black any superiority over white - except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.” Saheeh al-Muslim

And in another Hadith, the Messenger of Allah (saw) referring to nationalism, racism, and patriotism said:

"Leave it, it is rotten." Saheeh al-Muslim and Saheeh al-Bukhari

Also, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said,

"Undoubtedly Allah has removed from you the pride of arrogance of the age of Jahiliyyah and the glorification of ancestors. You are all the children of Adam and Adam was made of clay. People should give up their pride in nations because that is a coal from the coals of Hell-fire. If they do not give this up Allah will consider them lower than the lowly worm which pushes itself through Khara (dung)." Sunan Abu Dawood and Sunan al-Tirmizi
