Being polite as an important phenomenon has led to the positive performance of language communication and is one of the most fundamental elements of communication in the Holy Qur'an and has a clear expression in the structure and language texture of this divine book. The present article is descriptive-analytical, and using Brown and Levinson's theory of politeness, which is based on the explanation of choosing a specific strategy in language communication, deals with the representation of linguistic politeness in the Holy Qur'an to be addressed as a full-fledged model for implementing the privileged expression style in inter-ethnic discourse interactions based on the Islamic lifestyle. The findings of the research indicate that based on Brown and Levinson's theory of politeness, the linguistic constructions of widening and narrowing, questioning, irony, falsification, and good attribution can be considered among the most important constructions that the Holy Qur'an has put forward as an expressive model and has used them in its speech to influence the intellect and conscience of the audience, and it can be acknowledged that the Holy Quran while recommending to preserve the image of the audience, which is considered one of the most important principles and strategies of the Brown and Levinson's theory of politeness, it adheres to this important principle in its language construction and politeness has a clear expression in the linguistic context of spoken statements of the Holy Qur'an.
