Abstract
Abstract There have been many insightful studies tackled the theory of cognition and language philosophy. The concern has mostly been with the coherent rendition of thoughts, cognitive processes of knowledge sharing, participant interaction that constitute the semantic content of discourse. Cognitively, a great deal of break down in this study has run over the coherence of the discourse and translatability of the implications inside it, which shed more light on the hidden queries to uncover the discourse centricities. This can be reflected in translating the Qur'anic texts. The current paper is pinned down to study paradigmatically the coherence within the Qur'anic discourse that is salient with the context, inference and reference factors. The study concentrated solitarily on the methods of conceptual structures of the discourse on the one hand and the movements and behaviors of the participants on the other that constitutes the semantic content of the discourse. The current study concluded that the Qur'anic discourse in general characterized by the coherent concepts within one unit. The translator should confirm the semantic content because discourse of this type includes multifarious gestalts. So, the translation of the Qur'anic text should have a property of fidelity, precise and should be accurate with the discoural elements (i.e. sometimes takes the meanings of source language and transfer them to realize the understanding a comprehension phase) with keeping fidelity standards to the Qur'anic text.
