Abstract: Contrastive linguistic studies contribute to the integration between two or more different language clusters. Aspects of similarities and differences between languages are the focus of the study. Contrastive linguistic studies are introduced for the purpose of more effective, efficient, simple and engaging learning outcomes for students. The limitation of this study is on the implicature of prohibition sentences in Arabic and Malay and its objective is to identify the similarities and differences of prohibition language styles in these two languages. This study is a library study, descriptive study and contrast analysis based on Generative Transformation theory (GT) and pragmatic theory. The findings of the study explain that there are 12 implicit meanings of prohibition sentences in Arabic and 17 implicit meanings of prohibition sentences in Malay. The findings of the study also explain that there are 14 similar implicit meanings and three different implicit meanings in these two languages. This research contributes to a new exploration in the contrastive and linguistic study of Arabic and Malay that helps students to master foreign languages faster and in a more fun manner.
