Prophet Muhammad ‎(ﷺ) ‏advice goes viral during Covid times


  • This billboard highlights the amazing advice of Prophet Muhammad  (ﷺ) , peace be upon him, regarding the prevention and guidelines during an pandemic.
  • GainPeace has launched a billboard to salute the heroes who are in the frontline of taking care of those affected by COVID-19. 
The billboard outlines how the Prophet Muhammad  (ﷺ) (peace and blessings be upon him) historically deal with pandemics during his time, all of which are guidelines set by world health organisations to deal with the current Covid-19 outbreak.

The bill board states “Prophet Muhammad  (ﷺ) (peace and blessings upon him) advised: 

“Wash hands frequently, don’t leave infected area, don’t visit infected area.”

Since the current outbreak began to spread across the world the guidelines based on hadeeth of prophet (ﷺ) (peace and blessings be upon him) have been widely shared across social media platforms.
The centuries-old advices of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) (peace be upon him) have resonated with millions of people.
Governments across the world – from the US to Iran – issued instructions now to stop the spread of coronavirus which appear to mirror the advice of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and seem relevant for the modern-day.
Prophet Muhammad’s (peace and blessings be upon him) teachings regarding pandemics:

Travel bans and quarantine

More than 1400 years ago Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)(peace and blessings be upon him) had recognised and preached the importance of travel bans and quarantine in places contaminated with disease in order to contain the spread of disease. 
He said, “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; and if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Social distancing and isolation

The practice of social distancing during Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) time is evident with this incident: “It is reported that a leprous man once wished to pledge his allegiance to him, an act that would require him to touch or hold the Holy Prophet’s hand. Keeping his distance, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kindly sent word to him that his pledge had already been accepted and that he should return home.” (Sunan Ibn Majah)
Teaching isolation, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The cattle suffering from a disease should not be mixed with healthy cattle.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Hygiene

Cleanliness and hygienic practices are the hallmark of Islam. A hadeeth says “Cleanliness is half of the faith.” Muslims perform ablution (ritual cleaning from head to toe with clean water) before each of the five daily prayers.

According to a hadeeth, the Holy Prophet  (ﷺ) (peace and blessings be upon him) would cover his face and muffle the sneeze, effectively containing the spread of airborne bacteria and viruses. (Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi)

Seeking medical treatment

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged people to seek medical assistance alongside relying on the power of prayer. He said: “Seek (medical) treatment, O Slaves of Allah, for Allah does not create any disease but He also creates with it the cure, except for old age.” (Sunan Ibn Majah)
On another occasion he said, “Every disease has a cure. If a cure is applied to the disease, it is relieved by the permission of Allah the Almighty”. (Sahih Muslim)

A Turkish imam has turned mosque entrance into a supermarket offering free food to the poor in covid panademic

At the entrance of an Istanbul mosque, the racks usually reserved for the shoes of the faithful are loaded with pasta packages, oil bottles, biscuits - like a supermarket. But they aren't for sale. Instead they are destined for the needy, hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. The sign on the mosque's window asks anyone who can to leave something, and says those in need can take something. Abdulsamet Cakir, 33, imam of the Dedeman mosque in the Sariyer district, came up with this idea of reaching out to the poor via the place of worship after Turkey suspended mass prayers in mosques until the risk of outbreak passes. Turkey's official death toll from the virus now stands at 2,259 after 119 more deaths were reported on Tuesday, and major cities including Istanbul will be under lockdown for four days from Thursday. "After the suspension of mass prayers, I had an idea to revive our mosque by bringing together well-off people with...
