The present study attempts to explore the human emotion in adversity, their responses, and the relationship between these responses to the human psychological trait from the framework of Quranic discourse. Despite a growing interest in discourse analysis-based research on the Holy Quran, there is still a scarcity of this type of study. This current work takes a step to fill in this gap to whether the Quranic text displays conceptual and intertextual chaining in terms of the selected Quranic texts. To determine the thematic structural coherence between Quranic texts, textual analysis is applied. The methodology of this study is conducted based on Quranic conceptual, intertextual, and linguistic analysis, adopted from the work of Quranic linguists Hussein Abdul-Raof, that provides an in-depth textual analysis of Quranic discourse. To exemplify, this study has selected a representative sample of Quranic texts with the assistance of Quranic lexicography and Quranic Arabic Corpus (http://corpus.quran.com). The findings highlighted that on the macro-level analysis, the coherence is encountered within the same surah level. On the micro-level analysis, the coherence between Quranic samples encountered from inter-ayah levels, grammatical-morphological level, and semantic level. Also, the thematic structural coherence between Quranic texts is detected.
