Abstract
Coherence means creating a relationship and continuity between two or more structures that are grammatically equal to each other. Today, there are many factors and tools to create continuity and organization of the semantic-syntactic structure of a text. The components of relational consistency are considered as one of the tools of integration between the phrases of a text, which was proposed by McHoliday and Ruqiyeh Hassan. Conjunctive elements include: Conjunctive elements can appear in four additional, causal, unexpected and temporal types. The element of time connection itself includes four components: sequential, simultaneity, referential and final. Based on the descriptive-analytical method, the present essay examines the role of the mentioned components in the syntactic-semantic organization of the verses of the Holy Quran. The findings of the research show that the components of relational consistency in the selected examples most connected the semantic structure of the sentences to each other, although these elements had an outward manifestation in most of the examples, but by reflecting more on the expressions, it can be realized that these components make the conceptual structure of the text. are linked to each other.
