Abstract
Objective: The principle of "Kama Tadinu Tudanu" (As you sow, so shall you reap) contains a governing rule over human behavior, indicating a connection between a person's actions towards others and the feedback they receive. The aim of this research, while explaining this principle—particularly within family relations—is to focus on finding contemporary psychosocial theories that prove the impact of human behavior on the consequences they encounter.
Methods: This study was conducted using a library-based, descriptive-analytical method, examining Quranic and narrative documents, and by studying the views of contemporary psychologists, comparing and analyzing these two fields.
Findings: The findings of the research indicated that in religious teachings, the principle of "Kama Tadinu Tudanu" governs human behavior, especially in the realm of family relations. On the other hand, Bandura's social-cognitive theory, by proposing the concept of "fortuity," indicates the influence of human behavior on the consequences that the individual or their offspring receive.
Conclusion: Based on the research results, according to the principle of "Kama Tadinu Tudanu," human behavior, especially in family relations, affects the fate of the individual themselves or their family and progeny. Men's relationships with women outside the family framework cause harm to the man's family in the present or in his future generations. This subject has also been studied in the social-cognitive theories of contemporary psychologists. By proposing the concept of chance (fortuity) in social-cognitive learning theory, Bandura has shown that human behaviors can create consequences that, sooner or later, are reflected in some way,
