Description
Résumé:This paper examines Islamic and Scientific sources to understand the perspectives of both worldviews about the plagues like COVID-19. Focusing primarily on the scientific worldview, it informs about the history, spread, and the treatment of the disease. Afterward, it explores Muslim scriptures bringing forth precepts suggested to cope with such disasters. It is argued that precautionary measures, including isolation, quarantine, sanitation, and necessary immunization recommended by the World Health Organization, are the religious duties of Muslims. Additionally, Islamic scriptures advise various spiritual practices to its adherents, saving them from problems such as depression and mental distortion.
