Ahmed Al-Yafie penned the song 'Kun Rahma', Maher Zain popularized it, and it was released in 2007. The song conveys social values, particularly in how to treat young children, especially those who have those in distressing situations. Mahmoud Farouk written the lyrics of 'Muhammad (Pbuh) Waheshna', which Maher Zain popularized and released in 2003, while Mahmoud Farouk composed the music. The song's lyrics express deep emotions, specifically longing for the Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh). In addition, Maher Zain alone popularised both song lyrics. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research methodology, utilising a literature review technique. Data collection in this research is conducted using a listening approach. The tapping technique as the primary method, while the a supplementary approach is the note-taking technique. The study used the comparable technique for data analysis. The categorization of essential elements follows a practical methodology, and the ability to arrange them also adheres to this practical approach. The findings indicate that there are two types of illocutionary acts seen in 26 lyrics of the song 'Kun Rahma', whereas three types of illocutionary acts are identified in 17 lyrics of the song 'Muhammad (Pbuh) Waheshna'. In addition, the lyrics of the song 'Kun Rahma' contain four functions of illocutionary activities, which are derived from two types of illocutionary acts. Similarly, the lyrics of the song 'Muhammad (Pbuh) Waheshna' encompass five functions of illocutionary acts, originating from three forms of illocutionary acts.
