Systemic Functional Grammar demonstrates the connection of language and social structure. With total 15 frequency counts, holding 8 for Material Process, 3 for Verbal Process, and 2 for Mental and Relational Processes, the Material Process gains maximum frequency counts in this patch. While Participants frequency counts are different, subsiding same findings of role playing as 15 are the participants from Material Process, and 5 participants are from Verbal Process while 4 and 2 participants are from Relational Process and Mental Process respectively. It is evaluated only with 2 Circumstance frequency counts from Manner and 1 Circumstance frequency count from Reason which form 3 Circumstance frequency counts altogether. It signifies that Material Process has ranked most in these first 10 verses of the chapter 87 of the Holy Quran, with 15 Participants frequency counts most in Participants cadre and 2 Circumstance of Manner show maximum frequency count too. Keywords: Systemic Functional Grammar, Simpson’s Model of Transitivity, Frequency Counts, Chapter 87 (First 10 Verses) 1. Introduction In this research paper, the chapter of the Holy Quran has been analysed with reference of Paul Simpson’s Process of Transitivity. Analysis includes collection of data through Secondary Source as translation is interpretation of the original divine text (Kumar, 2010). These Quranic verses are the first 10 from the Chapter # 87, namely Surah Aa’la, from the last part of the divine book, translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali who is one of the most read English translators of the Holy Quran (Huda, n.d.). The addressed subject in this chapter is instruction to the Prophet(pbuh) to remember Allah, the creator, and follow His commandments, including preaching of Islam, in addition to that Allah will help Him (pbuh) to learn the Holy Book (Maududi, 1972). This analysis results in the frequency count of different transitivity elements i.e. process, participant and circumstance. For that matter, qualitative method is followed to answer the following questions:  What are the processes used in first 10 verses of Surah Aa’la of the Holy Quran with reference to Simpson’s Model of transitivity?  What are the participants used in first 10 verses of Surah Aa’la of the Holy Quran with reference to Simpson’s Model of transitivity?  What are the circumstances used in first 10 verses of Surah Aa’la of the Holy Quran with reference to Simpson’s Model of transitivity? It is hypothesized that material process is occurred frequently in these verses, even with most count of participants too, with that manner in circumstance has also appeared at top. 2. Literature Review 2.1 Systemic Functional Grammar Systemic Functional Grammar deals language with its functional aspect. It tells how a language communicates, interacts and chooses words to convey its message. On the other hand, SFG is also a
