Islaamic perspective during an Epidemic

Allaah سبحانه و تعالى wants good for him in order that his sins be removed by way of his difficulties and pain.

These afflictions, hardships and trials for the Believer is not a punishment --- but it is good since it removes his sins. It is a form of purification for him.

It removes the sins of the Believer as a tree sheds its leaves on a windy day as comes in the Hadeeth.

This is a small reminder for myself and then to you.

This is a time to strengthen our belief, certainty, trust and dependence upon Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and to strengthen our Tawakal.

Superiority of Faith (belief) of the Believer should be more obvious during these days. The Believer should not show weakness and fear during these times of trials & tribulations. He should rather turn to his Caretaker, his Owner, his Organizer .... the One to Whom everything belongs and to the One Whom everything will return.
