CRONAVIRUS OUTBREAK! The Current Noval Covid19 infection risk is on the news all over the place. The youngsters were finding out about it. My young child was normally inquisitive about infections, transformations, starting points and what was going on.
Accepting the open door, I chose to investigate the issue and interface it to Islam. Show that Islam has a view on all issues and gives direction.
وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ تِبْيَٰنًا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ
‘And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.’ (an-Nahl 89)
A. Controlling illness spread
The pictures of urban communities on lockdown, checking voyagers at air terminals and stations and void lanes can be frightening.
In any case, this isn’t new for Muslims. With regards to exceptionally infectious transmittable sicknesses, Islam has given direction.
While they most likely didn’t have novel coronavirus in the hour of the Prophet ﷺ, they had the plague.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “If you hear about it (the plague) in a land that you are in, do not run away from it, and if you hear that it broke out in a certain land, do not enter that land.” (Bukhari)
The second piece of this hadith is entirely self-evident, however the initial segment is progressively hard to figure it out.
The regular reaction of an individual went up against with an exceptionally infectious ailment is to run.
In any case, the hadith is clear not to run. What might spur an individual not to run however?
The Prophet ﷺ gave an incentive like no other. He said: ‘plague was a punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but Allah made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient in a land in which plague has broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr.’ (Bukhari)
‘Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sneezed, he would cover his mouth with his hand or a piece of cloth…’ (at-Tirmidhi).
The compensation of the shuhada (“the Martyrs”) is among the best prizes of all in Islam and it is given to the person who is persistent and doesn’t leave the zone of plague. This is tied with Islamic ideas of tawaqqul and realizing that life and passing untruth exclusively in His ﷻ hands.
However, it’s not simply isolate that Islam Preach. Fundamental cleanliness that forestalls transmission is notable.
Washing hands, wudhu, ghusl and individual cleanliness are for the most part solid parts of Islam.
Islam, in this manner, sets out the premise of controlling contagious disease spread.
B. “Prevention is better then cure”.
What amount of what we are seeing is man-made?
In Islam there is a comprehension of halal and tayyib (unadulterated). This applies to what we eat, how we ranch, what we look like after and transport domesticated animals and so on. There is positively Divine astuteness right now, might know about.
Numerous practices nowadays are a long way from ordinary.
Going back to the 90’s there was an episode of frantic dairy animals ailment. It was later demonstrated to be the consequence of makers, constrained to make less expensive meat, crushing the remaining parts of dead domesticated animals and taking care of it back to their crowds to get a good deal on grain. Truly! Did nobody feel that transforming herbivores into man-eaters would have been an awful activity?
C. Punishment Test and Reminder.
Is this present Allah tala ire on a people for their defiance and abuse upon others?
Is it accurate to say that he is trying the Bad individuals with the goal that they may come back to His remembrance.
Is it true that he is ﷻ helping the Muslims to remember His capacity? Or then again reacting to the dua of the mistreated? Or on the other hand featuring how the Muslim rulers have really failed poor people and how totally futile they are? Or on the other hand that we as a whole also need to notice before preliminaries come to pass for us?
It could be any or these.
A Muslim ought to consistently notice. Be dreadful of Allah’s ﷻ discipline, be helped to remember his deficiencies and push ahead to shoulder his obligations as indicated by his abilities.
D. Finding a remedy.
The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘“There is no disease that Allah has sent down except that He also has sent down its treatment.’ (Bukhari).
Sadly, we don’t consider Muslims at the front line of medication. In any case, there was a period that we were. This ummah developed clinics and prepared specialists.
The state and rulers saw it their obligation to care for their residents.
Khalifah Umar al Khattab (ra) said: ‘If a lost sheep under my care were to die on the banks of the Euphrates, I would expect Allah the Exalted to question me about it on the Day of Resurrection.” (Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’ 137)
On the off chance that that was his perspective on the creatures, what do you think his anxiety for people was?
Our researchers were inspired by Allah’s ﷻ reward,
وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَآ أَحْيَا ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعًا َ
‘If anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.’ (al Maeda 32)
Sadly, today in the absence of Islam, it is all about the money. ‘Third world’ and poor man’s diseases are not considered worth spending money on. At least that is, if it doesn’t spread!
We’ve seen this time and time again with previous outbreaks. For instance, Ebola has been around for 40 years and vaccines could have been developed but weren’t because it was seen as an African problem.
Private pharmaceutical companies only invest in that which will make them profit. It is no wonder that there is so much inequality in health where ‘the rich get the best care,’ and ‘the poor are left to die.’
Conclusion
These are just some ideas that can be raised with children to show Islam’s relevance to today’s problem. To assure them, to inspire them.
قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَىٰنَا وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
Say: “Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector).” And in Allah let the believers put their trust.’ (Tauba 51)
