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

“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:

“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 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]
