Abstract

ABSTRACT
Cyberspace is a space in which communication is done by the World Wide Web, which includes a variety of networks such as Facebook, WeChat, Telegram, WhatsApp, ETA, Viber, and so on. The human instinctual desire to talk and communicate with others is one of the important reasons for using cyberspace. On the other hand, the spread of high-speed interactions and exchanges in cyberspace has made it possible to break temporal and spatial boundaries and allow people to easily talk and exchange opinions and thoughts with each other. The use of this space has widely affected individual and social life, sometimes more than the real space. Proper knowledge and public awareness has provided the ground for the proper use of this space, and by observing the rules and requirements of dialogue in this space, it has turned threats into opportunities and eliminated the destructive damages of this space. Effective communication and mutual understanding requires compliance with rules and regulations.
The communication process consists of three main elements: the message, the sender, and the receiver. A descriptive and analytical study of the enlightening verses of the Holy Quran shows that this book of guidance has set criteria for each of these pillars. This heavenly book, observing the principle of science and awareness, honesty, chastity, politeness, beauty and also having the support of thought and knowledge, is considered as one of the requirements related to the message that the sender of the message must be obliged to.
