The spread of epidemics caused by a weak creation that cannot be seen except under a microscope, and the cause of panic and fear in people, such as Corona, show the incredible power of Allah the most high, and the weakness of the creation despite the technological advancements they possess. They will never escape the circle of weakness and human deficiency. It also shows that Allah has immense power and might; nothing in heaven or earth can cause him difficulty.

The Muslims believe that Allah decreed everything in the universe and wrote it down before the creation was even created. This belief has given them reassurance and resilient when they are frightened

Showing humbleness and submissiveness towards Allah is a tremendous act of worship when calamities strike and seeking help from Him to remove the trial. Allah says: (Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.) (Al-An'am:43) The sincere supplication opens up the doors of heaven, the cover is removed, the scrolls are folded, and the person draws closer to Allah. (And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.) (Al-Baqarah:186) Wahb Ibn Munibih (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: "The calamity befalls so that supplication can be made."

To believe that we are safe from Allah's planning or disease and afflictions from befalling upon us is from the most effective forms of delusion and arrogance a person can fall into. Of course, the last thing we consider is the connection between affliction and sins. The Qur'an reinforces this in many verses. Allah says: (Why [is it that] when a [single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uhud], although you had struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you said, "From where is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves.) (Al-Imran:165) And Allah says: (And whatever strikes you of disaster is for what your hands have earned, but He pardons much.) (Shurah:30)

Trust in Allah is among the most significant ways to overcome trials and tribulations. Therefore, be sure the relief is near, spread optimism to those around you, and avoid being frightened and pessimistic. One hardship cannot overtake two forms of ease. (For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.) (Ash-Sharh:5,6)

It is from Allah's established way that He has placed in His creation legislated, and material means enabling to ward off evil. Such means were used by the messengers and righteous people. This is what it means to have correct reliance upon Allah.

An obscure creation has distressed the people of this world over their bliss, pleasure, security, stability, and livelihood. Is it befitting a sane person, let alone a believer, to take this world as a permanent home in which they feel reassured, fighting for its sake, competing over its ruins.

No doubt, these viruses are from the signs of Allah's creation, with which He strikes fear into His slaves. They are made to take heed and learn lessons, and it reawakens in them the act of worshipping Allah by having fear of Him. Allah says: (We send not the signs except as a warning.) (Isra:59)

Time is the Muslim's most valuable asset in this world. Ibn 'Abbas reported from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: «Two blessings which many people squander: Good health and free time.» (Al-Bukhari, 6412)
