Abstract

COVID-19 is single stranded positive polarity RNA with a helical nucleocapsid and 
2 serotypes - OC43 and 229E. Molecular and antibody based test are available in 
clinical practice and no specific curative therapy available for COVID-19. The term 
corona refers to prominent crown protruding spikes and the other members of this 
family are picornaviruses, hepeviruses, caliciviruses, flaviviruses, togaviruses, 
retroviruses, and coronaviruses. There are different protocols and techniques used 
to prevent this highly contagious disease. However, Quran educate us more than 
guidelines (revealed 2010-230 AC) “keep clothes clean in one of the earliest 
revelations” (74:4); “God loves those who are clean” (2:222); “to be generous to 
kin” (16:90); “treat the elderly with compassion” (17:23); “they are temporary 
hardships to strengthen us” 2:153-157. These preaching’s guide Muslims about 
challenges of life’s that strengthen faith and body. Additionally, COVID can be 
prevented by the maintenance of good personal hygiene. Our holy Prophets also 
said “Cleanliness is half of faith”. Prophet Muhammad said “When Allah (SWT) 
loves someone, he tries him with hardships”; “wash hands before and after eating, 
bath at least once a week, brush teeth daily, and to groom nails and private parts”. 
Islam advises to show resilience in hardship, with sufficient strength. Additionally, 
the emergence or recognition of new disciplines i.e. phylogeography, 
biogeography, epidemiology, genealogy, phylogeny and biological communities is 
another achievement during COVID-19. The safety and prevention practices 
including PPE, quarantine, social distance, immunization, vaccine passport, routine 
practice, personal hygiene etc got worldwide recognition. Additionally, the mankind 
received reminding that belonging to Adam & Eve, one family, single unit and same 
specie on the face of earth. COVID also gave us understanding that we have same 
patho-physiology, anatomic structure and biochemical system. We have the 
emotional, psychological and metaphysical demands/ desires. We have same 
intellectual capacity, emotional pattern and divine makeup. We live in under same environmental with common challenges all around the world. We can’t ignore 
anything happening around the world including Wuhan, Kashmir, Ukraine, Chines 
Uyghurs, Rohingian Muslims and Afghanistan. Additionally, the collective effort 
work successfully to handle COVID like challenges. The mankind can live 
peacefully with respect, harmony and honor. We can also deal with such ordeals 
and challenges. The toxins, pathogens and infectious agents are created by Allah 
and give us reasons to work hard and pray to Him get covers and healing. Five 
daily prayers help us to maintain the physical, emotional and spiritual connection 
with Allah along with cleanliness of body and spirit. Our Prophet give us guidelines 
to minimize the spread of airborne infection. Holy Prophet, suggest to not traveling 
to and/ or leave (Quarantine) the afflicted area to avoid spreading of infection 
(Sahih Bukhari). That technique used by WHO and Center of Disease Control CDC 
during COVID-19. Thus in conclusion, the epidemiological data collected, 
processed and analyzed worldwide first time in history and then published in real 
time. The cross sectional research studies conducted at local, national and 
international level. The epidemiologist, pharmacists, health professionals, 
government official, computer scientists, media reporters and health authorities 
work in best possible manner during these three years. The vaccine is designed, 
developed, and launched in shortest possible time in history. Thus, the outbreak of 
COVID-19 is great warning for mankind that taught us many important lessons. We 
can establish peace, justice, harmony and equality all around the world by having 
the fear of Allah, mercy for compromised population and understanding real 
teaching of Quran.
