Abstract
The theory of communicative action is a social-critical plan to reach understanding that was first written by Jürgen Habermas in 1982; According to this theory, actors communicate with each other through reasoning in order to reach a common understanding and cooperation. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this essay analyzed the Quranic story of Prophet Noah (pbuh) based on Habermas' theory of communicative action. The result of the research showed that Hazrat's speech based on the mentioned theory was an active and dynamic speech and was able to affect the mind and intellect of the audience. In the meantime, a number of people around were influenced by the words of the Holy Prophet, and others were on the path of ruin and destruction without being effective and paying attention to it. On the other hand, by using discourse based on communicative action throughout the story, he targets the mind of his audience in order to develop the reasoning power in him and provide the conditions to reach understanding and implement the desired action
