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.

Religion is a historical and contextual matter and has found special features in every period of human life, corresponding to the developments and events that man has experienced; Of course, this does not mean the transformation and the heart of the essence of religion, but it does mean that the context of presenting religion and religious values, the form of offering religion and the means of achieving religious goals have changed. At present, the development of new information and communication technologies has provided a new space for the life of religion and the religious community, which requires careful awareness and comprehensive planning to use the many opportunities of the new space and stay safe from its threats. While acknowledging the existence of a powerful platform for anti-religious and anti-religious activities in cyberspace, this study has studied the capacities of cyberspace in promoting religious beliefs, teachings and values in the form of social networks through a documentary study.

Fourteen centuries have passed since the arrival of Islam in Iran. During this period, there have been extensive interactions between Islam and Iran from various dimensions, including cultural. In the fast-paced world of new technologies, the virtual communication space as an opportunity or threat has posed a great challenge to educators of the younger generation. Morality has become particularly prevalent in society. It is true that today's world is a world of change with the rapid development of knowledge that is rapidly expanding through the Internet; But at the same time, the importance of moral issues, especially in the realm of various personal and social interactions, is so clear that it is emphasized in different societies, and especially the Muslim community should pay more attention to it; Because the religion of Islam is a moral religion. The present study aims to explain the position of Islamic culture and the challenges of the virtual world with a modern ethics perspective. The method of this research has been developed by observing the existing problems in the field of communication in the virtual world - in the current situation - and the library method and the use of study resources. From the findings of this research, it can be said that modern ethics can be integrated with the culture of Salam; In other words, modern ethics does not mean its Western form; Rather, it is a form adapted to the theme of Islamic culture and religious teachings that is consistent with advances in technology and virtual technology.

Today, with the advancement in the field of information and communication technology, the issue of the functioning of cyberspace has found a special place and importance that its role can not be ignored in propagating and promoting religion and promoting religious teachings. On the other hand, there does not seem to be a strong link between the propagation of religious teachings and cyberspace; Therefore, identifying the facilities and tools needed by the Islamic world is very necessary. In this article, an attempt has been made to identify the subtleties of religious propaganda and influential factors in this field; In this regard, by enumerating the functions and dimensions of the effect of cyberspace in promoting the teachings of religion, a framework and rules for informing religious teachings can be extracted from the teachings of the Holy Quran and the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH); Such as the accuracy of honesty and trustworthiness of knowledge, assurance of the accuracy of news, thorough research on information and encouragement to act on information. Also, in addition to access to information bases, cyberspace, with a large volume of users' use, has significant facilities for various activities, which have more than 10 of its capacities in order to explain and propagate religion, which, considering the limitations. Current web conditions can be exploited, can be paid; Including virtual libraries, schools and virtual universities where a lot of effort is made to have a greater share of religious teachings in this space. Since among all available tools, cyberspace has one of the most effective effects in building the religious identity of society, it is concluded that investing in the promotion of religious teachings will be associated with the highest returns.

One of the most important features of cyberspace is the expansion of the importance of the individual and the private sphere in front of the public. Individuals in cyberspace, while being able to be present in different and sometimes conflicting groups with their true identities, can also feel isolated and alone; In such a way that the lack of power in cyberspace causes the individuality of individuals in the community is not resolved. In the real world, too, the power of choice has always been limited by factors such as the algebra of place, time, culture, and government; But in the virtual world, limiting boundaries have been removed and the person will be faced with many choices on a global scale; Accordingly, among traditional and religious ethnic groups, there are significant effects in creating flexibility and breaking the limiting beliefs-cultural boundaries. This research, which is of descriptive-analytical type and has been done by library method, has expressed the cultural effects of cyberspace on the field of religion.

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.
