The findings showed that although the divine speech itself is a credible and solid document among the people and Muslims، in the verses of the Holy Quran, written in Arabic, the linguistic tool of evidentiality such as the present simple, simple past, and simple future, the construction of a report، and evidential words have been used. The results showed that present times are simple, past simple, present, and future, report constructions, emphasis, and demonstratives are other evidential constructions used in this sura, and as such, from the highest to the lowest used. Also, the future time, unlike us human beings, is considered first-hand evidence for God, because all things are in his hands and their occurrence is certain. In addition, from the examination of the verses, we found that God, when using the construction of a report, accurately mentions the sources, persons, and groups, so that the speech would be clear, and decisive. Generally,
