Summary/Abstract: Qur’anic terms de'ā, jed'ū, da'vetun, du'āu and their derived forms have been used in over two hundred ayats that speak about belief in Allah, Righteous Path and Truth. In these ayats people are invited to advocate Truth, to do good deeds, and to avow that they are Muslims. They emphasize Allah’s closeness to people. He requests for people to address Him, to honestly believe in Him, to believe their prayer will be answered. These ayats also speak about man’s ingratitude towards Allahu, dž.š., when He saves him form difficulties; about man’s backslide into previous fallacies. They further speak about man’s inability to create even a smallest insect. Individuals and groups are urged to invite people to preach about good deeds and to condemn bad ones, and to communicate with each other in a best possible way. The ayats further speak about Allah’s, dž.š., beautiful names, their meaning and the possibility of their use, and about man’s inability to compose anything even remotely close to Qur’an. In the end, the last short ayat speaks about unrivaled phenomenon of Qur’anic Revelation.
