Based on this theory, many verbs in the form of speaking such as coinstative, declarative, command, prohibition, praying, wish, etc, are employed and looking at the text as an action allows the experts of religious texts to change the religious nature of these texts in a more systematic way. One of the theorists in this field is John Searle, who divides verbal action into Representatives, Directives, Commissives, Expressives and Declarations act. Using the descriptive-analytical method, the present study aimed to examine the theme and situational context of the apostrophe verses text in the Holy Quran based on Searle's theory of speech act as a linguistic discourse analysis to analyze the components of speech act.
