Abstract

Causal explanations in social sciences consist of three main elements: independent variable, dependent variable, and the relationship between them, which is realized in the form of a causal mechanism. The explanation of the causal mechanisms depends on the identification and analysis of mediating factors between the independent variable and the dependent variable, and based on this, the causal mechanisms refer to the processes during which various types of causal influences are formed between the independent variable, mediating factors, and the dependent variable. In this article, by searching the verses of the Holy Qur'an and using conventional qualitative content analysis techniques, an attempt has been made to formulate a comprehensive framework of mediating factors between worldliness and sin, including action, motivational and structural variable, a framework that can be used to explain many social harms by connecting independent and dependent variables. In this regard, more than 600 different factors were coded in the Holy Qur'an, which, after removing duplicates, were separated into two categories of mediating factors: factors whose effects are specific to a specific sin, and factors whose scope is inclusive of various sins. Due to the extensiveness of the first category factors, they were avoided in this discussion and only the second class factors were focused on, which included about 150 mediating factors.
