Dabiq (Arabic: دابق‎‎) is the title of the online magazine used by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant for propaganda[1] and recruitment.[2] It was first published in July 2014 in a number of different languages including English. Dabiq itself states the magazine is for the purposes of unitarianism, truth-seeking, migration, holy war and community (tawhid, manhaj, hijrah, jihad and jama'ah respectively).[3]

Details

Dabiq is published by ISIL via the deep web, although it is widely available online through other sources.[4][5][6] The first issue carried the date "Ramadan 1435" in Islamic Hijri calendar.[2] According to the magazine, its name was taken from the town of Dabiq in northern Syria, which is mentioned in a hadith about Armageddon.[7] ISIL believes Dabiq is where Muslim and infidel forces will eventually face each other.[2][8] After the infidel forces' defeat, the apocalypse will begin.[9] Every issue of Dabiq contains a quote attributed to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi: "The spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue to intensify –by Allah’s permission- until it burns the crusader armies in Dabiq".[10]

Harleen K. Gambhir of the Institute for the Study of War considered that while al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's magazine Inspire focuses on encouraging its readers to carry out lone-wolf attacks on the West, Dabiq is more concerned with establishing the religious legitimacy of ISIL and its self-proclaimed caliphate, and encouraging Muslims to emigrate there.[11] In its October 2014 issue, an article outlined religious justifications for slavery and praised its revival.[1][12][13][14][15]

ISIL has used its Dabiq magazine to express its strong opposition to groups including Christians,[16][17][18][19] Jews,[20][21][22][23] Shia Muslims[24][25][26][27] and the Muslim Brotherhood.[28][29][30][31]

Clarion project produced a website on Dabiq, which they identify as being published in order to recruit persons to the jihadi cause, and which they describe also as being a "glossy propaganda magazine ... sophisticated, slick, beautifully produced".[3]
