Application of Casual Conjunction among the Verses of Holy Qur'an: A Semantic Study

Abstract

Causal conjunctions, comprising words and phrases that link clauses, play a pivotal role in establishing the link and relationship between sentences in a text. This research explores the concept of causality in linguistics, where one event or part of a sentence causes another, resulting in a coherent context. Specifically focusing on the verses of the Holy Qur'an, the study investigates the use of causal conjunctions that connect the meanings of text across two or more sentences or clauses without relying on explicit conjugative words. This unique feature, a marvel of the Glorious Qur'an, demonstrates the unity of certain verses beyond the interlinked words of conjunction. Diverging from previous research that utilized conjugative words, this study aims to semantically highlight the terms Sab'ab and Mus'abab (Cause and Effect) in many verses, elucidating their causal meanings within the context. The research also categorizes types of causal conjunctions, including single cause and vice versa effect, single cause and multiple effects, and multiple causes and vice versa effects, offering illustrative examples from the Holy Qur'an.
