This mini review displayed the procedures and the measures to deal with the diseases and pandemics according to the Islamic Shari'a concept. It also addressed the responsibility of the patient and the doctor in such situations as well as against other diseases. In addition, this review addressed the causes and the symptoms of COVID-19 pandemic and how it could spread, avoided and treated by following and committing to the recommendations of the Islamic religion and through the application of holy Quran verses as well as the prophet's speech. This is due to the fact that the Islam is a comprehensive religion that can effectively well handle all the humanity issues and solve all of its scientific and practical implications.

As the quarantine forced each of us to zoom in inside our dwells, and the people started to feel bored and started expressing bitterness, also each one of us patience is being tested in the first place, which is proving to be exhausting . In the past several days and until now, the spread of this virus has been observed in many countries, which in turn has led to an increase in fear and panic among people. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 has now spread rapidly across China and around the world, causing acute infectious pneumonia to break out. In Islam, the Quran and the Prophetic traditions or the Sunnah are the basic sources of referencing for the laws and principles that direct the way of Muslims lives and from which policies and recommendations of the responses can be extracted, including those of contemporary social and health problems. When viewed through the Islamic principles of faith, life, intellect, progeny and wealth preservation and protection harm reduction measures are acceptable and, in addition, offer a realistic solution to a problem that could result in much greater harm to society at large if left unaddressed. Muslims consider that adherence to Islamic teachings and what the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), recommended 1400 years ago (quarantine) is the only survivor of the spread of the epidemic. Prophet Mohammed's following declaration (Peace be upon him) inspired the author to write this study paper on Corona's latest pandemic and its connection to the teachings of Islamic law and what the Prophet of Islam made clear more than 1400 years ago. Accordingly a broad writing search has been made to discover the distributed data on the logical explores and artistic articles published internationally. Hence, the purpose of this review is to prove the truth and validity of the Prophet's pandemic statement. Osama bin zaid (Radiyallahu Anhu) narrates that Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), said: "If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague outbreaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place." (Al-Bukhari, 1995). The Prophet (Peace be upon Him), in his lifetime of 63 years, never spoke a single lie. That's why, regardless of their religious beliefs and nations, he received the nickname "AlAmin" meaning Trustworthy from all. His claims on healing are still valid, and modern medical science is now showing this through 14 centuries of study. One considers how an unschooled desert man without a pen and paper could offer such an awesome expression about clinical science? About Mohammed (Peace be upon him), the Almighty God (Allah) says in the Holy Qur'an, “He does not speak anything of his own desire…” (Surah An-Najm 53:3) (Hussain et al., 2016). In different words, All in all, whatever he talks is only supernaturally roused words. Since Islam is a finished and awesome method of human life, it must contain certain parts of wellbeing and prosperity, sickness and fix, and malady and therapy. That is the reason God (Allah) motivated the Prophet (Peace arrive) to make in excess of 1,000 explanations of recuperating to support man for his brief remain on earth; Since man needs to remain well, liberated from disorder, to satisfy his short mission on earth. It is astonishing, not withstanding, that not a solitary 317 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo proclamation by Mohammed (Peace be upon him) on recuperating is found to negate the fundamental standards of present day clinical science and drug store (Mousavi, 2006). Islamic Concepts of Health and Disease Lately intrigue has expanded in understanding the wellbeing impacts of religion in clinical and mainstream researchers. It is difficult enough to handle disease without tossing in the additional complexities of social and cultural differences. Yet in every culture, religion exerts significant impact on personal expectations, behaviors and values about health care and forms models of treatment provided to patients (Galanti, 2001)(Atiyeh et al., 2008). It's no big surprise that medical services laborers in numerous nations are confronted with the issue of treating patients whose wellbeing and sickness esteems and practices that fluctuate totally from their own. Muslims are only one of numerous gatherings introducing such a test. Islam is definitely in excess of a profound custom, since it has a social aspect, too. Shari'a, or sacred law, has five primary objectives: to protect life, to safeguard freedom of thought, to preserve the intellect, to preserve human honor and integrity and to protect property (Al-Hayani , 2007)(Aksoy, 2002). In Islam, all forms of conduct are governed by the Qur'an precepts and the Sunnah Sacred Law is an authority that accepts all aspects of human life. Man is the crown of creation. They have direction, decision and commitments, including the executives of different creatures, the climate and their own prosperity (Al Khayat, 1995). Ideas about the starting points, nature, cause, results, and wellbeing and sickness mediations give off an impression of being intensely impacted by solid linkages to Islam and its customary culture. These likewise impact the transaction between the specialist and his accomplice and profoundly strict traditionalist patient. Verifiably, Islam instructs that God has proclaimed from paradise all great and terrible, all that occurs, regardless of whether dutifulness or noncompliance, confidence or disloyalty, ailment or wellbeing, riches or neediness, decisive. All things considered, there are two contending thoughts in Islam: the fate idea and the testing idea, which incorporates a thought of a type of choice that fundamentally invalidates the previous rule. Muslims recognize that disorder, enduring and biting the dust structure part of life and God's test. God's will is viewed as a significant illness, and birth absconds are viewed as a proportion of one's perseverance and trust in him. It is a cleansing encounter, not a revile or reprisal or a statement of the rage of God (Atiyeh et al., 2008) (Hammoud et al., 2005)(Daar and Al Khitamy, 2001). While the believer's "reading" is reduced to a measure of adherence to the creed instead of a measure of the desire to discover what is right and real for oneself. This clarifies why the Muslim says so rapidly, "In shaa Allah," signifying "if God wishes." It is additionally the motivation behind why it is said that the disease, injury, passing or favorable luck is from God. The Holy Qur'an accomplishes its corrective and wellbeing advancing reason by laws forbidding unfortunate way of life and conduct, focusing on wellbeing advancing propensities (moderate eating; restraint from liquor, tobacco, and other psychoactive substances; day by day work out; supplications; fasting; bathing and washing; breastfeeding; and a few different orders) (Atiyeh et al., 2008)(Rebecca, 2006). 318 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo Background and history of the pandemic It may be thought that adherence to Islamic principles could theoretically provide protection against the risk of severe acute respiratory coronavirus syndrome (SARSCoV). Over 1 billion people live in the Islamic world that covers three continents. Around %40 or more of the population is practicing some sort of Islam on the backdrop of different histories and cultures (Mahjoob et al., 2016). In Islam, the Quran and the Prophetic Traditions or the Sunnah are the focal wellsprings of references to the laws and rules that control the method of Muslims lives (Rispler-Chaim, 1989). While the Quran and the Sunnah don't have explicit answers for a large number of the social, wellbeing and different issues that have emerged since the heavenly disclosure of the Quran and the lessons and conventions of the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), Such two sources have general guidance which could be examined from an Islamic viewpoint on current problems and topics like harm reduction (Kamarulzaman and Saifuddeen 2010). The fundamental purpose of Islamic divine laws is to protect and maintain the religion, culture, intelligence, offspring and wealth. Consequently, the Shari'a 's injunctions are stipulated to preserve and protect the integrity of man, to guide mankind from harm and destruction and to show the way to success in this world and in the future (Ellison and Levin, 1998). The Covid-19 pandemic is compelling governments and news sources to give the most exact and supportive exhortation to the total populace, as the sickness is undoubtedly worldwide in reach. Medical care experts are popular, thus also are researchers who study the transmission and impact of pandemics (Craig, 2020). Middle East respiratory coronavirus syndrome (MERSCoV) was identified as a causative agent of acute respiratory distress (and renal failure) in 2012 on the Arabian Peninsula with an unusually high fatality rate of ~35%. Extensive study has shown that the corona virus, which is the source of respiratory syndrome in the Middle East, is the only camel hump for humans (Farag et al., 2019). Recently a serious respiratory disease was reported in Wuhan, China's Hubei province. On 9th January 2019, the first confirmed death from (nCoV) infection occurred. The first outbreak of the virus outside China occurred in Vietnam from a father to his son. On the other hand, the first outbreak outside China did not involve members of the same family, which occurred in Germany on 22 January of the same year, when a German businessman fell ill from a visiting Chinese businessman at a meeting in the state of Bavaria, Germany. Epidemiological studies have suggested that the outbreak was related to a Wuhan seafood market (Tao et al., 2020). Epidemiological studies Corona viruses are a wide group of viruses that cause diseases ranging from common cold to more extreme illnesses including Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). The emerging corona virus (nCoV) is a new strain previously unidentified in humans. Corona viruses are animal vectors, meaning they are transmitted between humans and animals (Letko et al., 2003). the two known modes of infection are zoonotic MERS-CoV 319 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo transmission from dromedical camels (the host reservoir for this virus) along with human-to-human transmission (Zaki et al., 2012)(Haagmans et al., 2014)(Hu et al., 2017). Severe acute respiratory coronavirus-related syndrome (SARSCoV) first developed in quite a while in 2003 after transmission from creatures in outside business sectors in China. Simultaneously, propels in cutting edge sequencing innovations prompted an infection revelation blast that revealed huge number of infection arrangements in natural life populaces around the world. While the majority of these infections were never distinguished in people, a considerable lot of them are hereditarily like perceived human infections inside the class beta coronavirus (Letko et al., 2003). The passage of cells is a fundamental segment of cross-species transmission, particularly for beta coronaviruses. All CoVs encode a spike of glycoprotein that ties to the receptor of the host cell and intervenes viral data (Li, 2016). For beta coronaviruses, the collaboration with the host-cell receptor is intervened by a solitary locale of the spike protein called the receptor binding domain(RBD). Subsequent to restricting the receptor, the close by have protease divides a spike that delivers the spike combination peptide, encouraging the section of the infection. (Simmons et al., 2013). Scientists were able to isolate and determine the virus 'genetic sequence, and quickly made it available to these others to develop PCR tests independently to detect the disease. It was confirmed that the genome sequence of nCoV-2019 corresponds to 75-80% of the SARS sequence and more than 85% of the corona bat viruses (Kirchdoerfer et al., 2019). Sialic acids (neuraminic acid derivatives) are ubiquitous carbohydrates found as end-buildups on glycoproteins and glycolipids that adorn the outside of eukaryotic cells. Changes in neuraminic acids, alongside the advancement of novel glycosidic linkages, bring about a wide scope of sialoglycoconjugates across cell types, tissues and creature species (Stencel-Baerenwald et al., 2014). Differential identification of sialoside may therefore have a significant influence on the zoonotic propagation, tropism and virulence of many viruses. For example, a few amino acid substitutions in influenza virus hemagglutinins account for the preferential shift from avian enteric tract to sialylated receptors in human respiratory tract (Park et al., 2019). Causes and Symptoms Emerging infectious diseases including extreme acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Zika virus disease pose a significant threat to public health. Given extensive research, how, when, and where new diseases often emerge is a source of considerable uncertainty (Ventura et al., 2016). Signs and symptoms of the virus appear two to 14 days after exposure to the virus, the most widely recognized manifestations of Covid-19 infection are fever, weakness, and dry hack. A few patients may encounter agony and hurts, nasal clog, cool, sore throat or looseness of the bowels. These indications are normally mellow and start steadily. A few people become tainted without indicating any manifestations and without feeling sick. A great many people (about 80%) recuperate from the illness without the requirement for unique treatment. Also, the seriousness of the ailment heightens in around one individual out of each 6 individuals who create Covid-19 disease, who experience the ill effects of trouble relaxing. The danger of the old and individuals with essential clinical issues, for example, hypertension, coronary illness or diabetes is serious. About 2% of individuals who have gotten the malady have died (World Health Organization 2020b)(Wolfe et al., 2007). Tao et al., have been studied in patients with 320 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo 41 years of age who have no history of hepatitis, tuberculosis or diabetes. He was admitted to and hospitalized at Wuhan Central Hospital on 26 December 2019, 6 days after the onset of disease. The patient reported fever, tightness of the chest, unproductive cough, pain and weakness for 1 week on presentation (Tao et al., 2020). Physical assessment of cardiovascular, stomach and neurological attributes was that they were typical. Gentle lymphopoenia was watched, yet white platelets and blood platelet includes were typical in a total blood check test. Raised degrees of C-receptive protein have been observed blood routine, CRP, PCT, organ function (liver enzyme, bilirubin, myocardial enzyme, creatinine, urea nitrogen, Urine volume, etc.), coagulation function, arterial blood gas analysis and chest imaging (Strong recommendation) levels have been slightly increased in blood chemistry tests (Jin et al., 2020). Cases of confirmed and deaths According to the world health organization recent stats, the United states of America leads the world countries in regard to the confirmed cases of deaths and infections due to COVID-19 pandemic. Then India comes second, followed by Brazil and Russian Federation respectively, and so forth comes the rest of the world countries. A close look at the Arabic counties reveals that the republic of Iraq (which ranks 17th globally) tops the list of infections and confirmed deaths. Then Saudi Arabia (that is ranked 27th globally) comes 2nd in the Arab world countries. In particular, at 9:54am CET, 26 November 2020, there have been 59,816,510 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 1,410,378 deaths, reported to WHO (World Health Organization 2020c). Emphasis on pandemic in Hadith Although a person is commanded with caution, exaggeration in caution may cause some kind of confusion, and reveal the mysteries of those who have rumors in terrorizing safe societies. A new pandemic bearing the name of Corona, or (Covid-19) has been borne by societies in the east and west of the earth, according to what has been recently called. The Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), did not underestimate dealing with the pandemics, nor did he panic, but rather ordered the Muslim to be cautious, and he advised him to deal practically with the pandemic to prevent it is better than to mourn and cry over the spilled milk, so the pandemic is an enemy of man. All human beings to put an end to it and confront it by all available scientific means, so that it does not spread and move from one place to another as the Prophet of Islam commanded (Craig, 2020). In the noble hadith, the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) said, “God did not bring down a disease, or did not create a disease, but he sent down, or created a medicine for him: the death" (Al-Bukhari, 1995). This Prophet of Islam warns Muslims and all of the mankind that the treatment proceeds from preserving the soul, body and mind, and shows that every disease is a medicine, and every disease cures its knowledge from its knowledge and its ignorance from its ignorance. This differs according to several aspects, such as; the ages and times, the development of medications, treatment and medical means, so the Prophet gives hope to every patient, as he decides that every disease has a medicine and every disease has a cure, and thus does not lose hope, no matter how serious his illness is. Unlike what is the case today where some diseases are classified as having no cure (Al-Kassimi, 2003). The Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), observed its moderation as usual in setting the scientific method for dealing with the disease, by intermarriage between spiritual and psychological medicine and physical medicine, and not 321 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo only on the physical side, and thus Islam in everything where it combines religion and the world and between matter and spirit (Monroe et al., 2003). Prevention and Treatment According to WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), currently no medications or vaccines have been shown to be successful for the treatment or prevention of the 2019 extreme acute respiratory coronavirus syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV- 2) (Smith and Prosser, 2020). (Except for those mentioned in Table 1). Be that as it may, those with it ought to get care to mitigate manifestations. Individuals with serious ailment ought to be hospitalized. Most patients recoup with strong consideration. Some possible immunizations and medications explicitly expected to treat this ailment are being explored. It is being tried by clinical preliminaries. WHO organizes endeavors to create immunizations and meds to forestall and treat Coronavirus illness. The best approaches to shield yourself as well as other people from Coronavirus illness are to continue cleaning hands, spread the mouth when hacking by twisting the elbow or a tissue, and remain at any rate 1 meter (3 feet) from individuals who cough or sneeze (World Health Organization 2020a). Table 1. Conventional treatment for patients with Covid-19 virus Type of treatment Therapeutic agent or device Oxygen therapy Nasal cannula Non-invasive mechanical ventilation Invasive mechanical ventilation Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation Antibiotics combination Amoxicillin Azithromycin Fluoroquinolones Antivirals Lopinavir Ribavirin Favipiravir Chloroquine Oseltamivir Remdesivir Interferon Corticosteroids Methylprednisolone The Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), after he had been warned that every disease has a medicine, warned about how to deal with the epidemic, that if it falls on the land where you are, do not get out of it to escape from it, and if it falls on land and you are not in it, do not go down on it. As he said in the noble hadith: “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague outbreaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place” (Craig, 2020). It is the approach that humans have known after more than a thousand years, where if a person doubts that he has any contagious disease, he must avoid councils, mosques and public meetings, so that infection does not spread between people, and he must refrain from taking public buses and going to restaurants, markets, schools and public places (World Health Organization, 2020a).The Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), commanded the preservation of the human soul and not subjecting it to decimation and taking all the available causes to pay the disease, with caution, caution and prevention before falling and injury, and then taking all the available reasons for treatment and recovery. He also 322 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo ordered the patient to strive for treatment, but to consider him guilty if he left it and treated it with carelessness, and he must also make every effort to prevent the spread of his illness and his aggression to others by not mixing and not going out except for necessity. To prevent disease and the epidemic, one of the methods of treatment that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) indicated was maintaining cleanliness and preserve it is a manifestation of faith and adherence to morality and humanity. Moreover, to make ablution from the conditions of prayer and the imposition of washing from impurity, and this purity extended to include the mouth. The Prophet Mohammad said: “If I did not make hard for my nation, I would command them with miswaak at every ablution.” miswaak (it is a wooden stick from the Arak tree used to clean the mouth) (Nur et al., 2012). The noble Prophet urged to take the reasons for preventing infection, including his hadith, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, “Cover the bowl and put on the watering water. That epidemic" is inferred from this hadith that caution should be exercised when the epidemic is carried out with various reasons designated for it: such as covering utensils, open foods (Salah, 2008). Medication, wearing protective masks, caring for personal hygiene, washing vegetables and fruits, good cooking of food, boiling drinking water and quarantine on the injured .. etc. Corona and double standards The consistency between Islam and life is deep and not recent, and it surely what Muslims are proud of and the world are proud of. We live at this time an exceptional stage in which the precautionary measures are applied - which are undoubtedly important and necessary - where the actual spoilage and damage (infected with the virus) or the suspicion (to be infected or not infected), and despite that, the principle in such cases is that nothing deserves Venture with your health and life even if it is a handshake! The introduction of the causes is at the heart of the trust that has been commanded by the true Shari'a , and it is definitely against dependence, rules and leaving the causes, and prevention is always better than cure. Where is the consistency between Islam and life? The answer to this question: is that these precautionary measures are the worldly aspect of what Imam Malik, Al-Shatby, and other Islamic scholars have created in an instrument and editing a rule: “closing the excuses”, which we work in our religion and our world, and defining them in a Briefly: “leaving those who are permissible”. In fact, the important and necessary measures published by the World Health Organizations and ministries of health in countries throughout the world, and talk about not waiting for injury or spread of movement, and that everyone should contribute to stopping the spread of infection by leaving a lot of good practice And meeting outside the nearby circle, and people accept the idea in a streamlined manner, and even contribute to spreading community awareness about it. The numbers are alarming, and the numbers of the injured are increasing, which makes the subject uncompromising - All of this makes us marvel at how the world measures a double standard, as it believes in this rule “closing the excuses”, in the corruption of its life and its world, and it does not follow it in relation to the corruption of its religion and its aftermath, which is more important and greater!. 323 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo How has our profound vision of the vast universe - witnessed and metaphysical - turned into a narrow vision that is aware only of the material, physical, and immediate nearness?! Always busy with events that have recently become consecutive and fast at an unprecedented pace, we wonder about the next and the numbers, as if we are watching a movie that is not one of its champions!

In the Islamic religion, there is a set of health directives and instructions in the time of the epidemic and the spread of diseases, including: 1) Belief in God Almighty, in the amount of good and bad, and the taking of causes, lack, dismay and alarm, God Almighty said in his holy book: [11 ١١ :دعرلا[ ٍلاَو ْنِم ِھِنُود ْنِم ْمُھَل اَمَو ُ ھَل َّدَرَم َالَف اًءوُس ٍمْوَقِبُ َّ�اَ داََرأ َاذِإَو ْمِھُِسفَْنأِب اَم اوُرِّیَُغی ىَّتَح ٍمْوَقِب اَم ُرِّیَُغی َال ََّ�ا َّنِإ ا ُفِّرَُصن َفْیَك ْرُظْنا ٍضْعَب َْسأَب ْمُكَضْعَب َقیُِذیَو ًاعَیِش ْمُكَسِبْلَی َْوأ ْمُكِلُجَْرأ ِتَْحت ْنِم َْوأ ْمُكِق ْمُھَّلَعَل ِتاَیْآل ْوَف ْنِم ًابَاذَع ْمُكْیَلَع َثَعْبَی َْنأ ىَلَع ُرِداَقْلا َُوھ ُْلق [65 ٦٥ :ماعنألا[ َنوُھَقْفَی 2) Preserving prayer, supplication, and pleading with a lack and refraction of God Almighty. In a tweet to US President (Donald Trump), he said: It is a great honor for me to announce on Sunday, March 15, 2020, the National Day of Prayer in America! And the Pope of the Vatican says: We pray that God will remove this epidemic from the people of the earth. Then he says, I unite with the bishops and the believers in these difficult times to live by faith, love and trust in the power of God, that we pray for those who suffer from the Corona epidemic and for those who support them. 3) Commitment to quarantine and avoid crowded places, as the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), said “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague outbreaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place”. 4) Great care for hygiene by washing hands with water and detergent, and caring for body hygiene, clothes, and others. On the authority of Abu Hurairah (Radiyallahu Anhu) that he said: (The Messenger of God, if he sneezed, put his hand or his garment on his mouth). And on the authority of Aisha, (Radiyallahu Anha), he said: The Messenger of God was if he wanted to eat or drink, wash his hands, then eat or drink)(Islamweb.net 2020). 5) Avoid contact with patients or suspects and in this the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), clarified this principle by saying: "Flee the leper as you flee from the lion." 324 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEDICINE 2021, VOL 3, ISSUE 1 gggggglo 6) Honey and black seed, God Almighty said in honey: [69 ٌفَِلتْخُم ٌباَرَش اَھِنوُُطب ْنِم ُجُرْخَی ًُالُلذ ِكِّبَر َُلبُس يُِكلْساَف ِتاَرَمَّثلا ِّلُك ْنِم يِلُك َُّمث :لحنلا[ َنوُرَّكََفتَی ٍمْوَقِلً ةَیَآل َكَِلذ يِف َّنِإ ِساَّنلِل ٌءاَفِش ِھیِفُ ُھناَوَْلأ The Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), said in the black seed “Black seed is a remedy (cure) for all diseases (ailments) except death” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] (Ahmad et al., 2013). Where scientific research has proven that honey and black seed raise the efficiency and ability of the human immune system (Hussain et al., 2016) (Saleh and Schleicher, 2000)(Seward, 2015)(Swamy and Tan, 2000). Finally, we must verify the news and not spread rumors, how many have been destroyed by societies, and raise the slogan “They found out” and let us take the advice and instructions of scholars and specialists from theologians and from specialized doctors so that people do not fear and panic, and in this he said the Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), An Uqba bin Amer (Radiyallahu Anhu) He said: I said, O Messenger of God, what is deliverance? He said: (I hold your tongue on you and your home can help you) Narrated by (Tirmidhi 2406). (Hold your tongue on you) means healing rumors, (for your house can help) means quarantine. Conclusion According to what has been reviewed in the literature and what was mentioned in Islamic Shari'a , it was found that there is a close link between the spread of this virus (Covid-19) and the teachings and recommendations of Islamic Shari'a in terms of adherence to quarantine, prevention and personal hygiene for the individual to avoid infection and reduce the spread of epidemics .The above results of modern scientific research affirm the fact of the statements of the Prophet which were stated 14 centuries ago, which says that "epidemic" “If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague outbreaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place” However, the Prophet (peace be upon him) made the declaration at a time when medical science or pharmacy had not been discovered. This further confirms that no one can claim the credit of knowing all these hidden medical facts fourteen centuries ago except a Prophet (peace be upon him) and a man of God (Allah) chosen, because Allah reveals that in the Qur'an : [4-3 ٤ :مجنلا[ ىَحُوی ٌيْحَو َّالِإ َُوھ ْنِإ ٣ ىَوَھْلا ِنَع ُقِطْنَی اَمَو Acknowledgments: Great appreciation goes to Dr. Ziad Q.A Alabbasi From the Department of Electrical Technologies, Baquba Technical Institute, Middle Technical University.
