Textual Coherence of Surah Dhariyat Based on the Process of Semantic Circles

Text coherence refers to a set of connected and related sentences. Qur'anic scholars have used many structural models to prove the coherence and relationship between verses of the Qur'anic surahs and have achieved new dimensions of the order and structure of the surahs. In this regard, a process named "Semantic Circles" has been designed, which can be a practical method to understand how the verses of a surah are connected. In this process, first, the content of each surah is divided into several semantic circles based on the topic, purpose, structure, and homogenous context; Then the logical connection between these semantic circles is examined. This essay, with a descriptive and analytical approach, applied the process of semantic rings to Surah Dhariyat to find an answer to the question of how the application of the process of Semantic Circles leads to the discovery of the textual coherence of Surah Dhariyat. The result is that the content of the answer to the oath, which expresses the sure fulfillment of God's promises, is placed as the central circle of the Surah and the rest of the circles are arranged in line with its proof and credibility. To ensure the fulfillment of His promises, God has invited man to think about earthly, heavenly, and spiritual signs.
