Abstract

Muslim linguists and Arab writers paid special attention to the structures of the Holy Qur’an and its unique methods for accessing its rich secrets and knowledge.Regarding the importance of this noble book in word and meaning, this research intends to study the discourse of Moses, and his people in the Holy Qur’an, after studying how meanings are used in these verses based on the Functional Systemic Grammar based on Halliday (2004 AD) through the descriptive-analytical approach. It is one of the most important trends in functional linguistics.The research contains this main question: How can the initial structure in the discourse of Moses, and his people be matched based on the Functional Systemic Grammar theory based on Halliday? What is the role of using them in understanding their purpose and clarifying the topic of discussion in the Holy Qur’an? Therefore, the Qur’anic verses that include his discourse, and the discourse of his people were studied in the Holy Qur’an as one discourse, after revealing and defining them. Then we categorized the data and studied it and determined its frequency. What we found in this study is that the statistical percentages for declarative sentences are more frequent and imperative sentences are in second place.The reason of that is the Prophet, used admonition in the first step and then advice and The multiple theme is more frequent compared to the topical theme in both discourse and Most of the sentences are unmarked in the two discourse.
