Dabiq (magazine)

Dabiq was a bilingual online magazine published by the Islamic State (ISIS) from 2014 to 2016.

Named after a town in Syria significant to Islamic prophecy, the magazine emphasized themes of jihad, martyrdom, and the establishment of an Islamic caliphate. Dabiq served as a strategic communication tool for ISIS to influence a global audience and convey its messages before it was discontinued in 2016, succeeded by other publications as the group's media strategy evolved.
