Ethics and Etiquette is needed for usage of this instrument.CONCLUSION: While we find that some of the extremists and terrorists are using it against the humanity and even against the fame and image of the religion, this makes a duty for the higher experts in the field of the ICT and cyberspace and also religious leaders to protect the younger generation and the future of the mankind.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: The paper identifies the major spiritual problem created by imperialism and the opportunities it has unintentionally created for religious education through its own aerial platform, viz big-data cyberspace. Imperialism in its greed for materialistic power rapidly expanded globalization to the extent that the global migration of skills, expertise, cultures, languages, and religions defy their control by imperialism. In its western centres, imperialism has neglected the mental and spiritual health of its populations and has replaced spirituality with hedonism, egotism, and consumer culture, which it exports even to its periphery as cultural imperialism. In pursuit of rabid capital accumulation it has placed hardware devices in civilian hands to sell software applications as social media, which has become the social power of people, beyond its control.METHOD AND FINDING: This newfound social power of the people presents opportunities for the promotion of religious education to people who are starving for spiritual fulfilment in the midst of the oversupply of worldly goods. The technological devices, with possibilities of real-time and simultaneous communications across international boundaries, compel the development of new methodologies, new quality assurances, and new contents, which are unique and original. As knowledge is the social property of all of humanity and not the private property of individuals, states and religious organizations have to collaborate in the transfer of beneficial knowledge, skills, expertise, cultures, languages, and religions – with tolerance and understanding. It is a world where the walls of universities are metaphorically falling down and the world has become a global campus. This demands the creation of new adaptive education models in which the distinction between learners and educators is blurred.CONCLUSION: In spite of the intimidating edifice of globalization, education needs to maintain the basics of cognition, viz., language, learning, memory, intelligence, and thinking as well as the positive emoting abilities of learners/educators. Spirituality needs to be redefined, in modern scientific terms, as the natural realm of ideas, cognition, sensory inputs, emotions, perceptions, and beliefs. It is culture-specific and interpenetrated in the cortico-thalamic processes of the brain.

With the emergence and expansion of the communication industry and in line with it, the Internet as a global communication and information network, a new space in the field of life was created, which can be referred to by titles such as second space or cyberspace; A space whose use has positive and negative dimensions. The theoretical foundations of this study, which has been conducted with the aim of measuring the feasibility of cyberspace in creating and productivity of religious education, is to use the paradigm of dual space and conceptualize the difference between the characteristics of cyberspace and the components of religious education. The research method in the tradition of qualitative research is descriptive-analytical and with a critical perspective, which has been done in a library; Data collection tool is also taking notes from a collection of related works. Research findings show that the phrase "know yourself" is an example of the fact that in order to enter education - especially religious education - a person must first have a correct meaning of himself and then of others; Accordingly, space acceleration, pervasiveness, permanent accessibility, transcendence, transtemporality, universality, fluidity, augmentation of reality and multimedia are among the variables of this space that life in the second world, contemporary dual space life and also the sources of identity of individuals. Has affected. The result is that the problem of lack of authentic identity and factor with the influx of religious teachings in the virtual world has not been effective and has not resulted in anything other than achieving corticalism and formalism; Therefore, achieving the core of religious education is not very compatible with the components of the virtual world and companionship is eclectic.

The religion of Islam is a universal and eternal religion and was revealed to explain and regulate the relationship between God, man and the world; Such a religion, in order to realize the characteristics that arose from its finality, must by nature also be propagandistic and use all its capacities to spread it so that its heavenly concepts and consequences reach all human beings - forever and everywhere. Due to the importance of propagating religion in today's world, any kind of modern facilities and tools can be used for propaganda, one of which is cyberspace; What is more, the importance of propagating religion in cyberspace is far more than the media in the pulpit and in the mosque. On the other hand, in the Islamic government for the institution of religion, three basic roles - research, propaganda and realization of religion - are considered that creating a healthy environment to address these roles is one of the most important tasks of seminaries. He moved towards the creation of numerous and diverse religious media and used the special capacity of these tools to spread divine values. In the meantime, the efforts of affiliated organizations such as the Islamic Propaganda Organization and the seminary and the university can not be denied; But this requires special and broader attention; Therefore, it is necessary to create a proper culture between all levels, such as seminaries, universities, and those who have Islamic and revolutionary concerns. It seems that in this regard, the great authorities of imitation and Islamic scholars can come together to identify the path after dialogue and form their own material and spiritual support by forming think tanks in seminaries, universities and other institutions. The content of this study was tried to be studied with a descriptive and analytical approach.

Cyberspace capacity means utilizing the resources, tools, and facilities of cyberspace to develop and propagate religion through education. Today, the capacity of social networks, the Web, learning management systems, computer games, and other tools is used to disseminate religious teachings and propagate religions. The emergence of virtual churches, full-time answering of religious questions and, most importantly, spiritual life in cyberspace - only - is part of the interaction of religious scholars and users in this space. The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges facing capacity building in order to develop educational content in cyberspace and provide strategies for capacity building in this space in the field of education; Therefore, with the approach of qualitative online research and using the analysis of data available in cyberspace, this article first examines the challenges related to the capacity of teaching religious content in cyberspace and then presents strategies for optimal use of cyberspace capacities. The results of the study show that due to the high growth rate and development of cyberspace, the need to adopt constructive and infrastructural, defensive and content-oriented strategies is felt more than ever.

The knowledge economy, the infomedia revolution, the soft war, distance education and the privacy of religious education are key words that must be known to enter the research. The feature of the twenty-first century economy has become a knowledge-based economy, as it is the main engine of economic growth, and it depends on the availability of information and communication technologies, the use of digitization, and innovation by keeping pace with the growing knowledge revolution, assimilating it and adapting it to needs. Education is considered the most important source for enhancing international competition, especially in the information society, considering that education is the key to entering the age of knowledge and developing societies through real development of human capital, which is the focus of the educational process. The important assets in the new economy have become technical knowledge, creativity, intelligence and information, and perhaps The Infomedia revolution has enabled this economy to expand and spread on a large scale. On the other hand, the soft war appeared, that is, the art of automatically attracting others to a system using temptation, and it aims to achieve goals that meet the needs and interests of specific groups in society, and it has a discourse expressed through several means of communication: written, visual, audio, and means of communication. The social network, through it, it clarifies its policies and programs on various issues.

Today, the use of cyberspace and the facilities provided by the Internet has penetrated into all aspects of human life, one of which is the field of religion and religious education. Given that proper education of religious concepts and values - as a cornerstone of society - requires attention to the quality of religious education, it is necessary to pay attention to the opportunities and potential threats that religious education can bring in cyberspace. In other words, although the use of cyberspace can provide good educational opportunities in the religious education of educators; However, the nature of this educational environment is such that it will create threats in this field, which if not paid attention to, can cause irreparable damage to educators and society; Therefore, in the present study, which consists of two parts, first the concept of religious education is discussed and then the possibility of realizing three principles of religious education - fostering thinking and reasoning, self-esteem, freedom - in cyberspace is explained to educators. ; Also, the potential limitations of cyberspace in these three areas are discussed, and not paying attention to them can face challenges in religious education.

God has glorified and honored knowledge, so the first word that God revealed to his Prophet was “Read”, and He raised His bearer to ranks, so He said: May God exalt those who have believed among you and those who have given knowledge to degrees. (Al-Mujahidah, 11) and imposing it on every Muslim, so the last of his prophets 9 said: “Seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim.” (The Second Martyr, 11: 1041) also between knowledge and worship, so he said: “The door of knowledge that we learn is dearer to us than a thousand voluntary rak'ahs.” (Ibid: 121 (and compare Omیralamamnیn 7 between science and money, saying to his companion: «O کmیl! Science is better than money, science یhrsک and you are guarding the money and money lacks alimony and science یzکo on spending and facts money disappear Bswalh»; (ibid: 114 (and between household Infallibility: a great reward for one who walks the path of knowledge, so our greatest prophet 9 and the people of his household told us: Where he said: “Whoever is tomorrow in the pursuit of knowledge, the angels will remain upon him and bless him in his life and have not diminished his livelihood.” (Same source: 146) As the people of infallibility warned: to pay attention to the type of knowledge Its description so that it does not fill a person’s soul with what harms it or at least with what does not benefit it. All this, in short, indicates to us the religious motivation that urges us to seek and spread knowledge, as contemporary societies witness many challenges that have imposed themselves on the nature of life in them, the method of work and the work of their various organizations. Among the most prominent of these challenges are the progress these societies are witnessing in modern information and communication technologies.

Cyberspace - Internet - is a new generation of social relations space. The positive and negative effects and consequences of cyberspace as a new phenomenon in human societies are constantly expanding. Cyberspace is a situation where the storage and transfer of information is very cheap and simple; Therefore, it is both a threat and an opportunity for the educational and moral atmosphere of the society. In this challenging environment, one must actively enter the field of information production and transmission in order to turn threats into opportunities or to reduce threats against opportunities. In the present era, which has turned the cyberspace of the world into a small village and connects the people of the world from different parts with different cultures and beliefs, the educational issues of children have faced challenges. In contrast, one of the effective tools to preserve and revive Islamic beliefs and education is cyberspace. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dimensions and capacities of cyberspace in order to raise children. This research with descriptive-analytical method and using library and Internet resources seeks to study and explain the various dimensions of cyberspace and education from the field of Islamic education to conceptualize education in cyberspace and its role as an important tool in today's societies. The results show that cyberspace has many potentials that if the conditions are provided and its creation will have significant effects on the formation of personality, especially children, and can be well used to achieve high religious goals.

Human civilization has become characterized by the rapid successive change in knowledge and the increase in its technological applications, in terms of quantity and quality, which resulted in a change in the criteria for evaluating societies according to the extent of technological and information advancement and future science to shift from marginal consumer societies to productive societies freed from intellectual property and intellectual property. And the good use of technology. The countries of the whole world - both developed and developing - are striving to develop aspects of living in them, the simulation and the spirit of comprehensive growth among individuals and groups of their citizens, and to consolidate their connection with the accelerating changes that the world lives in. The hypothesis is the spread of the scientific spirit in its theoretical and technological dimensions, and it is a year passed down to the generations of nations. In light of the developments that the world is witnessing today, the student had to ask himself where he is in the midst of these scientific and industrial revolutions. Some countries of the world still adopt traditional teaching methods that do not coincide with modern life and the thinking of the student and teacher in the era of technology and the development in various disciplines, including in various disciplines. The field of religious education. The educational and educational institution is the most important one because of its influential role in shaping the personality of the individual, especially its responsibility in defining the features of religious culture through educational programs and the quality of knowledge and information provided to students that determine their values and their behavioral practices. And because of the immoral issues that are broadcast in the social networks and are far from the Islamic values and principles that some Western countries try to adhere to the Islamic religion, so it was important to use cyber technologies within religious education, whether in the educational stages of the government sector of the sacred government or religious schools. The Muslim student is able to reach the highest degree of knowledge in his specialization on the one hand and to defend the values and principles that instilled in him the Islamic religion on the other hand.

The aim of this study is to explain the deepening aspects of religious education according to the hypertext approach with emphasis on the theory of poststructuralism so that it can contribute to increasing the basic knowledge in this field of knowledge. The research method is of fundamental-applied type while descriptive study is of documentary type. Research shows that metatherapy is not just an alternative medium; Rather, it is the production of dynamic knowledge that can replace hierarchical information transfer. Through metamaterialism, the ability to search intelligently and multiple times is provided, and the interdisciplinary relationships of the texts are strengthened, and dialogue and communication between religious sciences and knowledge become more important. In this regard, hypertext as a new cultural structure with various experiences, the possibility of exchange of views and dialogue between religions, content communication and interdisciplinary studies, fostering a critical approach and the emergence of various teaching methods and problem solving methods in religious education and training. It can play a facilitating role.

If we talk about the existence of the virtual world and social media and the need for it, we can not deny the need for it. Undoubtedly, the Internet, which has become one of the basic necessities of life in our modern world, almost as valuable as air and water, has changed our lives as much as electricity, printing, and telephone. He was not only a means of communication, but also a part of the lives of many of us. It has become our source of education and our factor of cultural formation. After all, technology is evolving, whether we like it or not. And it will be so. This development also applies to the Internet. It is up to us to maintain the balance, take advantage of the Internet and avoid losses. Online education is very useful for us, but it is also very important from whom and how to get this education. We must also consider the role of the virtual world in our cultural formation. What advantages can a student gain from the virtual world and what disadvantages can he be attacked? This is the main issue. In this article, we will examine this. In Allah, the full version of the article will be sent to you soon.

God Almighty honored man over all creatures and raised him through the mind, and by whom he deserved to be “the caliph of God on earth.” He created him and created with him tools that enabled him to think, contemplate and worship, and he encouraged the use of reason and the pursuit of knowledge and knowledge, because with knowledge only God knows God The Almighty and Majestic unites in order to achieve his role in this succession. The first thing that was revealed in the Noble Qur’an was the call to reading and knowledge: “Read in the name of your Lord who created.” The goals of the mind have been defined by directing it towards a scientific knowledge of the universe, nature and man through insight and consideration. Humans have had to operate the mind in the exhibition of organizing the affairs of their religions through what the Prophet of Islam came to 9 of legislations, and at the beginning of his call he raised the slogan of compulsory learning, and that science is not from It is desirable, rather it is one of the obligatory duties. He was famous for his saying: “Knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim man and woman.” In his biography, we find that he made the ransom of the prisoners teach the illiterate to read and write, and made the woman's dowry teach her the verses of the Qur’an, as he and his family showed: the status of knowledge and its worldly effects And eschatology. Science and education are of great importance that cannot be denied, and they are two of the main factors that contribute to the development of the individual and society: economically, socially, culturally, and politically. All of this left profound effects on the level of all humanity, especially on educational curricula and methods, leading as a result to distinguish between the past and the present. In this article, we shed light on the importance of religious education, the changes in educational methods in light of the technological revolution, the entry of the electronic world on the line of achievement of the human and religious sciences, and the opportunity to acquire and spread sciences through the virtual space or what is called distance study and what it carries with it.

Even before modern technological era, there was a close relationship between religious education and technology. Religion has helped many people to understand new technologies and technologies have led to new understandings of religion, and even new forms of religion. Religious education can focus on a variety of sacred concerns including myth, ritual, symbol, scripture, doctrine and experience, and furthermore as Jeff Astley (Astley, 1994) says in a context can and does ecompass indoctrination, personal formation, reasons and emotions. However these concerns tend to fall into two general categories the ethical one (or relational) and transcendental one. Nowadays a variety of video games explicitly aim toward religion. Video games researchers note that within video games, religion tends to suffer from a narrative and procedural incongruity. For example Michael Walthemathe suggests that video games provide a narrative and procedural platform for playful identity formation and ethical reflection, Ian Bogost (Bogost, 2007, p. 288) observes that religious video games are undermining their religious aims by adopting the conventions of mainstream video games genres without regard for their implicit procedural rhetoric. Also Harry J. Brown (Brown, 2008, pp. 104 – 107) notes that along with the promotion of an ethical concern for the weak, video games promote a reactive ethic of vigilantism and violence against all members of a given social class or oppositional alignement. So if video games once struggled for legitimacy as a cultural product, today the business of video games is booming, and increasingly the art of video games is turning to religious themes as not just inspiration but as central plot elements. We find moral decisions, invented religions, the power to create and experience virtual religious spaces and much more outcomes like these. Through a consideration of a list of popular video games this article proposes to show how video games teach their players the new gospel of cyberspace, where they can be what they want without effort and major consequences for the real life.
