Handcuffed creation and itty-bitty virus

Bhat Basit Nazir
This is for those who consider themselves superior to almighty. This is for those who were considering themselves kings and rulers of the world, but now they come to know that they are but mere men. In the neoteric hi tech world, with intensification in each and every field of technology we posses novel strange threats whether in the shape of ebola, H1N1, MERS or presently COVID 19.we the “handcuffed creation” when don’t posses much power to resist the natural calamities then deep in the heart we look for a miracle to happen overnight in such instances. Whenever we are struck by a calamity that is beyond our control, nature pushes us to bow our arrogant heads. Itty- bitty virus not only paralyzed penurious countries but developed countries are much frightened by this. It has paralyzed the world economy. Stock markets worldwide are showing record breaking plummets, Global production systems are in danger of collapse; opulent economists are residing in their cozy rooms with fear. National and international air lines are closed. Tournaments are deferred, schools, colleges, universities are closed. Nature has locked us and forced us to stay indoors. With passing days fear of death among people is increasing. Health professionals are working around the clock to fight
covid19, SAARC meeting is being held, people are given information about
prevention through print and electronic media. The worst phase of this is people
are scared to interact with one another. Even handshakes are now avoided to
elbow shakes. We are now in crisis. The world is now pondering about possible
efficacious vaccine, efficacious medicines for symptomatic relief, preventive
measures etc. But being a muslim it is our duty to thunderbolt the puissant
countries via our Islamic rulings. Let us tell them that the holocaust which the
present hi tech world is facing could have been avoided by applying a simple rule
of shariyah, i.e., “if you hear an outbreak of plague in a land do not enter it, but if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place” it is big blow to those who were considering Islam a threat to their nations.
The need of hour is that we should follow basic human principles and shun all the inhuman behaviors. Wearing hijab was considered a security threat. But ncovid19 proved that doing hijab is no longer threat to nations but dress of protection and is included in preventive measures for ncovid19. Big blow to those who were saying Islam was practicable only before 1400 years and now there is need of modification in it Conclusion: Now come to think of it, just a minute virus and the whole world is on panic, just a mere virus and whole world is locked down. if an ordinary virus can do this, imagine what the creator cant do. The need of hour is that we should follow basic human principles and shun all the inhuman behaviors.
