For this, Allah has provided human with special types of speeches through Holy prophets and Holy books. Aim of this research to find out various ways of speech used in Psalm, Old Testament, New Testament, (Bible as compiled form) and Holy Quran. Comparison shows that all Holy books consists of exemplary speech, observational speech, and stories. Meanwhile each book has its own style of speech too. Like in Psalm, its poetic and emotionally sensitive style, makes it unique among others. on the other hand, Torah has special and descriptive speeches. Bible mainly sketches character and have promotion and reminder style of speeches. By using comparative research methodology, it can be concluded that Holy Quran, last and the complier of all the books, has its exclusive quality of speech. Its speeches have beautiful verses and sweet melody. Having same   literal style as in Holy books before Holy Quran, it has separately used logical and general speech. By analysing the ways taught by Holy Quran, one can easily upgrade his own speech. That is how Allah has not only delivered His speech but also teaches human to speak gently, precisely, logically and politely.
