Abstract
This thesis investigates directive speech acts in the English translation of Surah Al-Maidah from the Quran, translated by Saheeh International. The study addresses two research questions: (1) the types of directive speech acts present in Surah Al-Maidah, and (2) their their functions. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and drawing on George Yule’s (1986) theory of directive speech acts in Pragmatics, the analysis identifies 67 verses containing directive acts, categorized as requirements (30 verses), questions (8 verses), prohibitions (7 verses), requests (2 verses), permission (1 verse), and mixed directives acts (19 verses), with no instances of advice. Requirements dominate, reflecting divine commands to enforce legal and moral obligations, while prohibitions and questions emphasize restraint and reflection, respectively. Requests and permission highlight supplicatory and permissive elements, and mixed directives combine multiple functions for comprehensive guidance. These findings illuminate the pragmatic strategies in Surah Al-Maidah’s discourse, underscoring its role as a legislative and moral framework. This study contributes to Quranic pragmatics by revealing how directive speech acts shape divine communication in a translated text.
