The term Siyāq (i.e. context) and its place and role in the interpretation of the Qur'an has always been considered by scholars and Qur'anic scholars. This term has been mentioned in the surviving narrative literature of the Infallibles (PBUT) as [connected word]. In fact, the principle of symmetry of the context and verbal and semantic order governing the body of the Qur'an, including verses and surahs, and even the arrangement of words and letters and their succession are among the principles inseparable from the word of God. It will help us to pay attention to this principle and applying it in the process of interpreting verses. In the current article, we try to get acquainted with the term context and its types, which are divided into contexts of words, sentences, verses and surahs, as well as its role and position in understanding Qur’anic verses, and the conditions for realizing the context and ways of proving and using it.
