Abstract

The principles and foundations of the Islamic Revolution have been manifested and embedded in the Supreme Leader’s excellence model for the advancement of the Islamic Revolution. Therefore, this model can serve as a framework for normalizing cyberspace. Achieving the desired state requires progressing through this logical excellence, and the revolutionary discourse must inevitably implement it step-by-step to reach the new Islamic civilization.
The first phase represents a revolution in cyberspace, parallel to the victory of the revolution in the physical realm, the consequence of which will be the conquest of territory and establishment of cyber sovereignty. Subsequently, we require administrative software and governance tools obtained through designing various systems in cyberspace. Following the formation of an Islamic cyber system, the next stage will be establishing an Islamic government in cyberspace - the most crucial phase that necessitates enacting required cyber governance laws and implementing all systems designed in the previous stage.
The realization of a cyber government meeting Islamic standards, relying on established cyber systems and necessary legislation, will pave the way for an Islamic cyber society where citizens benefit from cyber government services while experiencing virtuous digital living.
In this research, using thematic analysis method, we have identified the components of balanced cyberspace or the components of normative cyberspace theory in the thought of the two Imams of the Islamic Revolution. Their integration into this domain through the structured model provides the groundwork for achieving normative conditions and optimal governance.
