Abstract
It is not only a Qur'anic injunction for people of different faiths to live in unity and harmony with one another, but it is also necessary for the peaceful coexistence of human beings living together in society. The need for the Qur'an and Sunnah as well as the rule of reason is also recognized. Despite the many similarities between the beliefs and teachings of different Islamic sects who believe in one God and one prophet, the main reason for the distance and division from each other is the lack of awareness about each other's beliefs and therefore There is a suspicion about it. So the best way to turn this distance from closeness and suspicion into optimism is to know the right sources about each other's beliefs and teachings. For this, among other means and methods in modern times, one of the most important and effective means is the Internet (cyberspace). With the advent of the Internet, the world has become a global village that has not only created many conveniences in human life but has also created opportunities for people and nations to get acquainted with each other's thoughts and ideas. In this regard, religious institutions of different Islamic sects, especially seminaries and responsible scholars, can present the beliefs and teachings of their respective sects on the Internet in a reasonable manner so that people's hearts are closer to each other on the basis of commonalities. can. Since it is not always possible for scholars of different denominations to meet each other directly under normal circumstances, it is not only possible to easily communicate with each other through the Internet, but also to be aware of each other 24 hours a day. While people with a destructive mindset are using this facility today to misuse the internet to create misunderstandings, create differences and incite enmity between Islamic sects, there is a need for good and responsible people who are sympathetic to Muslims.
