وكذلك عبّر القرآن عن الدعوة بلفظ "الشهادة" على الناس، فقال:

Similarly, the Qur’an has expressed the da’wah with the term, “shahaadah” (to bear witness) against people. He said:

﴿وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِّتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا﴾ [سورۃ البقرہ: ١٤٣]. وقال النبيﷺ: ﴿...الْمُؤْمِنُونَ شُهَدَاءُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ﴾ [رواہ ابن ماجہ]. وقال النبيﷺ أيضًا: ﴿لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ﴾. وكذلك عبّر القرآن عن الدعوة بلفظ «التبليغ»، فقال تعالى:

“Thus We have made you a just nation, that you be witnesses against mankind and the Messenger be a witness against you.” [TMQ 2:143] The Messenger says, “...the believers are witnesses of Allah on earth.” [Repoted by Ibn Majah]. The Messenger also says, “Let the one present (shaahid, ie witnessing this) convey it to the one absent.” Likewise the Qur’an has expressed the da’wah with the term, “tableegh” (conveyance). He said:

يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۖ وَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ

“O Messenger (Muhammad )! Convey (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you did not, then you have not conveyed His Message.

﴿وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ﴾ [المائدة: 67]، وقال رسول الله ﷺ: «بلّغوا عني ولو آية». [Reported by Bukhari]

Allah will protect you from mankind” [TMQ 5:67]; and the Messenger also says, “Convey from me even if it is one ayah.” [Reported by Bukhari]
