The current study aims at investigating the verb "know" (يَعْلَمُونَ) /yAAlamoon/ in the translation of meaning of the Glorious Quran by Yusuf Ali, and exploring types and functions of illocutionary acts implied in the verb. The study claims that Quran translators face difficulties in rendering the implied meaning of the verb "know" (يَعْلَمُونَ) /yAAlamoon/. The qualitative method has been adopted to analyze the content of the investigated verses. The results and discussion revealed the types and functions as well as the difficulties face translators when they translate the implied meaning of illocutionary acts.
