Abstract:
Cyberspace is an inseparable element of the modern life and a platform for gaining information anywhere across the world. These conditions can be considered as an opportunity; however, in case necessary measures are not adopted, the society will face ills. In respect of ills existing in the cyberspace, we face two fundamental challenges. First, what the preventive measures are; second, on what principles the guidelines need to be based so that they are most influential. Thus, the main goal of this paper was to explain the role of education in preventing cyberspace including individual and mental ills. The method for this article was a descriptive and a correlative one. The statistical population of this research consisted of students and professors in the Computer Department, Islamic Azad University, Karaj, for as many as 150 people. As prevention from ills existing in the cyberspace is a critical issue, this paper, based on a library-descriptive method and upon examination of sources, was introduced to be a recommended guideline for preventing cyberspace ills.
For education to be most influential, it must be offered based on didactic principles. Seemingly, organizing education by using Islamic Education Principles can attract the interested people to enter the area of technology based on Islamic Thinking and better prevention from vulnerabilities, where the best form of this process occurs with the co-op between the Seminary, parents and mass media advertisement and Education bodies (i.e. the education organizations).
Machine summary:

The recommended guideline for preventing from individual-mental ills from cyberspace requires attention to education based of Islamic education, the best form of which occurs in co-op between the seminary, parents and mass media with the education.
Designing and developing parts ion textbooks in relation to familiarity of students with new technologies, the internet and ills existing in the cyberspace which are prepared based in the Islamic teachings and rules with the aim of highlighting these principles in the soul of students.
If education is done based on the Islamic teachings and principles at schools, it can be of a great help for preventing individual-mental ills against the cyberspace.
One of the major impacts spirituality has on life is the promotion of helath, and there is no doubt that it leads to avoidance of false habits such as addiction to virtual space, moral perversion, crisis of identity, isolation and depression, Thus, the very first principle of the Islamic education in childhood to be focused attention is the link between education and spirituality, because spirituality is the most significant factor in preventing social a family ill.
Table 1 shows an analytical model which is derived from the thoughts of an Islamic scholar named Martyr Morteza Motahari respecting Islamic Teachings and Education, and also some effective components on the prevention of individual-mental ills induced by the cyberspace have been provided."
