Tabligh (), or conveying or propagation, is a major process of an Islamic mission (dawah) on which Islam has built its existence and identity in human life. Per the Oxford Dictionary of Islam, the modern use of the term is interchangeable with dawah.

According to scholars, in Islam, tabligh is Quranic preaching as conveying the truth to people’s minds and bringing them out of the darkness of ignorance. Islam claims monotheism as a bright truth called tawhid. Tabligh means conveying that truth to people’s minds and intellects. It can also be said that tabligh is teaching people the rulings of Islam and divine knowledge, giving people good tidings of paradise and the blessings of Allah, encouraging them to work to obtain the pleasure of Allah, warning them against disobeying the commands of Allah and calling them to believe in the fundamentals of Islam and to act on the branches.
