Abstract
People recognize repentance التوبة as the most powerful religious practice for the preservation and enhancement of man's moral health. Repentance التوبة serves the apparent function of warning people to avoid b sins and crimes. It is a sort of an ethical principle which entails returning to Allah after a period of disobedience. Pragmatically, the speech act of التوبة repentance implies committing a sin and repenting by confessing and seeking forgiveness of the mercy of Almighty Allah. Thus, this study endeavors to investigate the pragmatic analysis of the speech act of repentance as observed in Prophetic Hadiths. Based on Austin (1962), Searle (1969, 1976) and Bach and Harnish (1979) treatments of speech acts, twenty prophetic extracts implying are selected to be pragmatically analyzed. The paper concludes that pragmatically التوبه is indirectly performed in all extracts and that it is felicitously achieved when the speaker confesses his sin before Allah and asks Him forgiveness.
