A deep frustration and despair comes to us when something unexpectedly falls from the divine power as a curse. These curses directly fall down on the creatures when there is will of the Allah; in fact such curses always warn us to do good deeds, abstaining from misdeeds and verily follow the commandments of the Allah. Since COVID19 outbreak, when it gave a first hard hit to china province *Wuhan* where
it took huge number of human lives, that day the great fear and trepidation of COVID19 has increased dramatically from far and wide and it also created a deep agony in our minds because of presently many positive cases and deaths. It has chained people very badly and no one seems wanton and free to roam anywhere, the way it detained us from all sides, and after it has reached in different countries like Italy USA Iran and geopolitically covered everything which came in the way. Its farreaching consequences have poured the powerful countries into predicament and woebegone irrespective of their well established medical infrastructures and modern diagnosing labs for every kind of tests in detecting out harmful signs. Like USA and China, these two countries who have top ranking in the world economy and also having sophisticated technologies in a diversified manner for combating many health risks are no longer withstand against this deadly virus. This has overwhelmingly weakened their health infrastructure. They left their combating potential and despicably surrendered when any antiviral drug has not proved much efficacy and applicability. The present ominous situation seems to have a deep long wounding effects as the situation is spreading uncontrollably which probably indicates that the world is going to end in the near future. So everyone is waiting now for the eternal blessings to come to heal our deeply wounds which are left bruised and uncovered in the ongoing sweltering condition. A severe pain of fear in heart and mind has virtually caught us in traumatic disorder. This reflects inner understanding of human conscience that something has badly happened for which we have a little forbearance to endure its ill effects. What can? Verily, with the hardship, there is relief Quran(94,6). It does more we all are oblivion to such contagious infections. These infections that suddenly break out which later are very difficult for the world to handle them in a short span. An unflinchingly spreading scourge of COVID19 has become panicky and major global concern, mostly the affected countries are much worried for which they have been imposed unprecedented lockdown on people to stay homebound. A regular ongoing movement including public transport, railways, and airplanes has been forcibly banned. Shopping malls, business units and academic institutions are in strict restrictions, which may likely to speed up its epidemic nature. These implicated restrictions are in dire need of prevention from the infection. This deadly virus has unnerved human mind and totally dismaying our mental capabilities in such a way that we can hardly think of better things right row.
It is high time to realize the power of nature and follow commandments accordingly to the guiding principles of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This would bring eternal blessings to get us relieved from such unpredictable calamities.
A continuous distortion of normal thinking is getting down and there may be maximum chances of getting individual frustration and despondency. Mind’s relaxation is no more that it will return to normal position again. We feel there is not anything left behind which can mollify this intensified agony that is beyond our internal hormonal system and psychological capabilities. We are unable to make a little console for keeping a balanced mind in this bad situation, still it is fanning more sparks and not turning its furious face back to let us unscathed in this critical time as everyone feels recluse and can’t fight against it. People who are working abroad whether as Businessmen, Laborers, Doctors and so on are feeling alone and unsafe. Likewise students in outside colleges and universities have the same feeling of worry. Their parents and relatives are very anxious and awaiting for them since a long time. This has made their parents psyche and inconsolable. The world is trying to find any way to get rid of this deadly viral disease due to its incessant death cases which has already crossed the maximum scale. The situation is looking much exasperating and tense for all the humans who are living on the earth whether in poor conditions or in rich. It has only a unique nature of infecting people more and more to speed up the epidemic scale to a greater extent. It has laid a scar of infection pervasively in the wide range which is a heavy loss for human life. This time everyone is looking after himself by taking certain precautionary measures to avoid the infection. People who are looking healthy and alive kicking also feeling the agony due to mental disturbances, the gloomy atmosphere are overcast and have left no space for taking stress and depression at this time. Our body is not working well by leaving internal coordination mechanism owing to the fear of COVID¬19; likewise Sensory perception went into inactive phase which plays an important role in our body to keep us active and agile. Nowadays people are hell bent on forcing social distancing and avoiding any religious gatherings which is a good health principle at this critical juncture but on the other hand it is creating more pressure on our mind which is another cause of feeling dolorous. This all have made us more vulnerable in other aspects. If we all want to get relieved from this then we must run to prostrate down our head in his merciful court and seek to forgiveness for the grave sins. Repentance is a medicine which can erase this agony in a snap provided we will do good deeds and start following his commandments in our life.
