Abstract

This study discusses the use of rawābiṭ al-jumlah through the particles و and فـ in Arabic scientific articles written by university students. Cohesion between sentences is an important aspect of Arabic academic writing because it affects the clarity and logical flow of ideas. However, the use of these particles is still frequently inaccurate and influences the coherence of students’ writing. This study aims to analyze the use of و and فـ as rawābiṭ al-jumlah in students’ Arabic scientific articles. The study employed a qualitative approach using content analysis methods. The data source consisted of students’ Arabic scientific articles analyzed based on the structure of the articles, including the introduction, content, and conclusion sections. The findings indicate that the particle و is used more dominantly than فـ in connecting sentences. Several errors were also found, such as excessive use of و and inappropriate use of فـ that does not reflect logical or causal relationships between sentences. The study concludes that the accuracy of using rawābiṭ al-jumlah significantly affects the cohesion and coherence of Arabic scientific writing
