COVID-19 Dalam Perspektif Masyarakat dan Ajaran Islam

Abstrak

Abstract
COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) is a respiratory infection caused by a new
coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2). Currently,
COVID-19 has spread throughout the world, including Indonesia. COVID-19 disease can
cause mild to severe symptoms. Corona Virus Infection is influenced by three things; host,
infectious agent and environment. Covid-19 not only affects the health sector, but also various
fields such as education, economics, social and others. Therefore it is important to contribute
in overcoming the Covid-19 disease. With a correct understanding of the Covid-19 Pandemic,
apart from the Government, community participation is needed to reduce transmission. Public
understanding is the key to the success or failure of steps taken by the Government as a policy
maker. The attitude of a Muslim towards this Pandemic cannot be separated from Islamic Law
(Al Quran and Hadith). Currently, many of us are panicked by the pandemic outbreak. Do not
let the fear of Covid-19 exceed or even overcome our fear of Allah. Yet it is Allah who created
and Allah is the one who has the power to uproot what he has created in His will.
