Covid-19 outbreak is the largest threat to the humanity right now causing the damage to a large extent. Thousands have got killed by this horrifying plague hitherto. Lock down like situations seen on the entire globe and horrifying conditions continue to emerge with the escalation of this pandemic plague across the world. The only known best possible solution is to remain isolated and follow the rules provided by WHO. Be it the China, Italy, America and other developed countries no one could combat it even partially. Death toll is increasing very rapidly and the panic is all around. Chaos, hue and cry seems to be another threat caused by this fatal virus. What is to be done in such horrifying situations is now the talk of the town. What actually is the covid-19:- according to the world health organization “(COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with covid-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people , and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease , diabetes, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness” its origin is considered to be arrived from natural phenomenon not from laboratory as according to officials no evidence has been found regarding its emergence from laboratory or otherwise engineered. According to the associate professor of immunology and microbiology Kristen Anderson “by comparing the available genome sequence data for known coronavirus strains, we can firmly determine that SARS-coV-2 originated through natural process. In such horrifying situations everyone need to know about the chemistry of the disease, threat of the disease, how to combat this severe situation, what are the possible preventions that one can exercise, and after all how to come out of this severe threat? Everyone should remember it in mind that Coronavirus is actually the newly found disease, to remain isolated is the best possible solution right now. Its most fragile story to be noticed is that it is spreading by human to human contact or by touching a surface that has a virus and those involved in such a serious threat get to know its symptoms from 2 to 14 days.
By scrutinizing different arguments by different schools of thought, it must be concluded that one should remain isolated in such fearsome prevailing situations. Remember Islam demonstrates such facts in a concise definition “let the small loss take place to prevent the big loss”.
Most important things which I observed from this lethal pandemic plague is that when it comes to self, humanity becomes obvious, indoctrinate becomes very apparent, helping one another becomes mandatory . Arrogance and intolerance vanishes, rather it is replaced by broadmindedness . Belief in divine nature becomes even stronger. Amid covid-19 outbreak the entire world seems united consciously or unconsciously. The trade war, the political games, missiles launched on innocent Syrians and Afghans, brutalities across the world is never the fact of matter right now. Division creates chaos and horror among the masses is now proven supreme power itself. In the era where thousands of humans get vanished by this death dealing virus let’s not forget that surely it is from the supreme power , to regret , to follow the instructions of the administration as well as divine nature is all that we can do right now. Remember the world has seen great plague, Spanish flu, cholera and much more resulting in thousands of deaths. Allah has mentioned in the Quran: “O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while Allah is the free of need, the praiseworthy (35:15) “if he wills, he can do away with you and bring forth a new creation” (35:16).By scrutinizing different arguments by different schools of thought, it must be concluded that one should remain isolated in such fearsome prevailing situations. Remember Islam demonstrates such facts in a concise definition “let the small loss take place to prevent the big loss”.
