This study examined the speech act of Quranic texts in order to determine the impacts that the speech included as well as the different communication functions that were engaged in illocutionary actions. The focus of this research was on the application of John Searle's pragmatist philosophy to the speech act. The data were examined using the descriptive qualitative approach, with note-taking serving as a tool to help identify the legitimate data. Finding the various communication functions employed in illocutionary and perlocutionary acts was the aim of this study. The findings showed that there were 45 utterances of illocutionary and 2 utterances of perlocutionary acts, then the classification of illocutionary by Searle (1969), there were 7 or 15% assertive (saying) functions, 29 or 64.4% directives (requesting and advising), 4 or 9% expressive (thanking) functions, 5 or 11% commissive (promising and offering), and declarations percent 0 (This study did not find a declaration). Furthermore, the findings showed that there were two types of directive utterances that represented by requesting and ordering acts. 15 out of 29 or 52% requesting while ordering act receives 14 out of 29 or 48%. Finally, the findings showed that while both explicit and implicit requesting behaviours were addressed in the texts' discourses, the percentage of each was unbalanced due to the predominance of the explicit. The explicit requesting act obtains 10 out of 15 or 67%, while the implicit requesting act receives 5 points or 33%.
