This research analyzes the citations of Ayatollah Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, to the verses of Surah Al-Hashr in his speeches. The main research question is: how does Ayatollah Khamenei use the verses of Surah Al-Hashr in his political speeches, and what types of speech acts does he extract from these verses? The hypothesis of the research is that Ayatollah Khamenei utilizes these verses to reinforce moral and political messages, and the speech acts are primarily declarative and exhortative in nature.

The research method involves content analysis of Ayatollah Khamenei’s speeches, using Speech Act Theory to identify and analyze both direct and indirect speech acts. The selected verses include verses 18 and 19 (about piety and reflection on individual actions), verse 2 (the incident of expelling the Banu Nadir Jews), and verses 23 and 24 (divine characteristics).

The findings indicate that the most frequent direct speech acts in Ayatollah Khamenei’s speeches are declarative and exhortative. In the case of indirect speech acts, the highest frequency is observed in exhortative and declarative acts. These results suggest that Ayatollah Khamenei uses these verses for moral guidance and to motivate his audience. Furthermore, the historical and social context of the speeches plays a crucial role in shaping their meaning and impact.

This research demonstrates that the leader of the revolution utilizes religious sources to influence collective awareness and guide political and social messages.
