Demikian pula, Al-Qur'an telah mengungkapkan dakwah dengan istilah "syahadah" (memberi kesaksian) atas manusia. Allah berfirman:

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

“Demikianlah Kami menjadikan kalian umat yang adil, agar kalian menjadi saksi atas manusia dan Rasul menjadi saksi atas kalian.” [QS. 2:143] Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, “...orang-orang beriman adalah saksi-saksi Allah di bumi.” [HR. Ibnu Majah]. Rasulullah ﷺ juga bersabda, “Hendaklah orang yang hadir (shaahid, yakni menyaksikan ini) menyampaikannya kepada yang tidak hadir.” Demikian pula, Al-Qur’an mengungkapkan dakwah dengan istilah “tabligh” (penyampaian). Allah berfirman:

“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:

"Wahai Rasul (Muhammad ﷺ)! Sampaikanlah apa yang telah diturunkan kepadamu dari Tuhanmu. Dan jika tidak engkau lakukan, maka engkau tidak menyampaikan risalah-Nya."

“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.

Allah akan melindungimu dari manusia” [QS. 5:67]; dan Rasulullah ﷺ juga bersabda, “Sampaikanlah dariku walaupun hanya satu ayat.” [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]
