Abstract:
Islam is the religion of rahmatan lil'alamin which regulates all
aspects and joints of the life of the Ummah. The pattern of rules that are within
the auspices of Islam actually comes from the Qur'an and Hadith. So, it can be
said that the studies in the Qur'an and Hadith will always be an interesting
study to be discussed in each change of age of the Ummah life, this is because
every era will face different problems of life, but there are always similarities
in the reasons listed in the study of the Qur'an and The Prophet's hadith. The
Covid-19 outbreak that originated in Wuhan China is similar to the plague of
leprosy and tha'un during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to His
friend, which are both contagious diseases. In this paper the authors use the
method of library research as a tool to explore information regarding Islam in
dealing with infectious diseases. Basically, Islam has made a major
contribution in dealing with all kinds of epidemics including Covid-19 which
is happening in this era.
