There are physical and psychological injuries in individual aspect. The psychological harms discussed in this article are: excessive use of the Internet and social isolation and weakening the power of reason. If we assume that users are using the Internet in a completely moral way and do not conduct any immoral behavior, such as pornography, and intimate, out-of-shadow and non-homogeneous communication, does the use of cyberspace for users cause moral problems? This article deals with this issue in terms of Islamic ethics.

The purification of the soul is one of the main goals of descending the Quran and the Prophet's mission. What makes self-purification possible is the right way to make that happen. This study attempts to explain the general methods of self-purification from the perspective of Allamah in al-Mizan. One of the applied topics that Allamah has addressed in Al-Mizan are methods of self-purification, and from the sum of its debates, we have achieved five universal approaches: 1. strengthening the faith and righteous deeds; 2. focusing on the knowledge of the soul; 3. focusing on the secular results Ethics; 4. Focusing on the eternal results of morality; 5. Strengthening the love of worshiping. Allameh, in Al-Mizan, says some of the verses that have caused heart disease say the cause of heart disease is vile and the way to treat it is faith and good deeds. In his view, the Quran did not put the foundation of morality on worldly results; therefore, it did not use this method to cultivate the soul, and only relied on worldly results to return to the aftermath. The method of relying on the results of the hereafter is common in the preceding Shari'ah and has been given much attention in the Qur'an. The method of relying on the knowledge of the soul is also important and has the results in mind. But the purification of a special method of the Qur'an, which improves the insight and action of the people so that the vices do not form in them in order to eliminate it. This method is not preceded by the divine and even the prophets, as it is mentioned in the Qur'an, and is based on the truth and monotheism and pure devotion.

The Cognition of the Virtues and the Vices is one of the Ethical principles. Man should first know the qualities proper for him. In the holy Quran, some of the Prophet’ s qualities have been mentioned. Almighty God has introduced him as a qualified role model for human beings. Thus, it is important to comprehensively study the verses introducing him. The Hippocrates described the prophet as “ Uzun” that is the one who is all ears. They called him with this adjective for the purpose of dishonoring him and introducing him as naive and capricious one and with this they tried to prove the falsity and baselessness of the revelation. In Reply, God would say that not only this adjective would not humiliate him but also is considered a positive quality. After investigating about the verse we come to this conclusion that the Prophet’ s treatment with others and his approach in listening to their speeches expressed even by his enemies, caused them to get interested in Islam and prevented social conflicts and this led to the guidance of people. By accepting the sinners’ repentance, the prophet helped them keep their self-esteem, but in practice, he just realized the recommendations he found beneficial for both individuals and society.
