COVID-19 over shadowed all other affairs<\/span>\u00a0in the media<\/span>\u00a0as it\u00a0<\/span>dominates<\/span>\u00a0all news coverages around the world<\/span>\u00a0on both conventional outlets and social media<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Since t<\/span>he\u00a0<\/span>out<\/span>break<\/span>\u00a0of Coronavirus pandemic, y<\/span>ou don\u2019t hear much about UK<\/span>\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0Brexit, Syrian war, the war in Yemen<\/span>, the Iran \u2013 USA conflict, the tensions of trade issues between China and the western world,<\/span>\u00a0or even delayed elections in Somaliland.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The deadly COVID-19\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0impact<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0on human life<\/span>\u00a0in a multi-dimensional way<\/span>.\u00a0 The confirmed number of contracted people is<\/span>\u00a0already<\/span>\u00a0approaching 2 million,\u00a0<\/span>despite\u00a0<\/span>not<\/span>\u00a0reach<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0peak<\/span>\u00a0yet<\/span>, while the death toll<\/span>\u00a0has<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>reached<\/span>\u00a0over 1<\/span>2<\/span>0,000 worldwide.\u00a0 The economic, health and social impact is beyond any\u00a0<\/span>scale<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>may\u00a0<\/span>not<\/span>\u00a0be recover<\/span>ed for decades to come.\u00a0 Many people will develop a type of mental illness or other forms of health issues due to stress, isolation<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0bereavement for the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>loss<\/span>\u00a0of a loved one<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>or<\/span>\u00a0financial hardships.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>It is bringing unprecedented economic crisis with the highest ever number of businesses closing\u00a0down;<\/span>\u00a0 Travel\u00a0and airline industries\u00a0<\/span>suffer<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0greatest losses\u00a0ever<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0 Hospitalities, recreation, sports,\u00a0<\/span>educational institutions<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and so many other sectors terribly affected<\/span>; and<\/span>\u00a0with a record high number of companies going bust<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the world<\/span>, schools, colleges, universities and all<\/span>\u00a0other<\/span>\u00a0learning centres are closed.\u00a0 This means that conventional teaching<\/span>\u00a0delivery methods (in class or face to face) have been<\/span>\u00a0completely<\/span>\u00a0suspended for an unknown period.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>So,<\/span>\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0search<\/span>\u00a0for<\/span>\u00a0an alternative way to continue education started and every single institution is trying their best to deliver their teaching programmes for their students<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0So, a search for an alternative way to continue with education started with educational institutions trying their best to deliver their teaching programmes using all means of communication technology from online to TV programmes and radio broadcasting or even mobile phone messaging systems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

COVID-19 might change the usual ways we do things for good, but this may not all be for worse though. Creative ways of working or new systems could be developed or existing ones improved<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>E<\/span><\/i>very cloud<\/span><\/i>\u00a0has a silver lining<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Some sectors\u00a0like\u00a0 communication\u00a0technology, teaching & learning, health care and delivery services could witness drastic improvements and working from home might become the norm.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While going through this distressful experience\u00a0<\/span>with<\/span>\u00a0no-one out there to\u00a0<\/span>turn to<\/span>, it<\/span>\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0noted that most people felt the existence of\u00a0<\/span>Supreme<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>P<\/span><\/b>ower<\/span><\/b>s<\/span><\/b>\u00a0controlling the universe and tur<\/span>ned on<\/span>\u00a0their spiritual<\/span>\u00a0mode<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>People realised that this pandemic exposed the weaknesses of the human being<\/span>\u00a0and started to visualise and seek help to<\/span>wards<\/span>\u00a0the only\u00a0<\/span>Devine<\/span>\u00a0Power, to their Creator, the God, Allah, the Ultimate Decision Maker.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Think of this\u00a0<\/span>moment\u00a0<\/span>as<\/span>\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0turning<\/span>\u00a0point<\/span>\u00a0\u2026???\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Could this be what Allah wanted\u2026 to draw us back to HIM as we indulged in the worldly material possessions and neglected to strike a balance between meeting our basic needs for existence and the spiritual dimensions of our lives\u00a0<\/span>\u2026???\u00a0 Could this be a\u00a0<\/span>kind message<\/span>\u00a0from Allah (God) to warn and remind us of our purpose in life \u2026???\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>We know<\/span>\u00a0that a lot of us\u00a0<\/span>are passing away<\/span>\u00a0and many of us will lose their love<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0ones but could this be an opportunity to re<\/span>flect on our shortcomings<\/span>, get rid of our ego, change<\/span>\u00a0our<\/span>\u00a0inner-selves and start leading our lives\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>a way good for us and acceptable to<\/span>\u00a0God?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone<\/span>\u00a0is trying to establish personal connection with the Almighty God<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0whether they follow a formal religion or not.\u00a0 But the logic is that there must be only one right way to follow and establish desired connection<\/span>\u00a0with HIM<\/span>\u00a0– The Only Source of Power<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>We all wish our prayers answered<\/span>.\u00a0 So how would you know<\/span>\u00a0you are doing it<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0right<\/span>\u00a0way?\u00a0 There is no better time to search the truth\u00a0<\/span>and get answers for all your pressing questions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you<\/span>\u00a0really<\/span>\u00a0want to find<\/span>\u00a0out<\/span>\u00a0the way<\/span>\u00a0that connects you to the Supreme Power<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>how you can reach HIM<\/span>, by yourself? \u2026\u00a0<\/span>READ THE QURAN<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(The Word of God).\u00a0 It is available in almost every language and I am sure\u00a0<\/span>you can get all the answers you have been looking for.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

REMEMBER<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0 If we all find the right way<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0establish all our connections to Allah<\/span>, then<\/span>\u00a0our prayers\u00a0<\/span>will be<\/span>\u00a0accepted\u00a0<\/span>and our<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PROBLEM SOLVED<\/span><\/i><\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>It means, we found a solution for COVID-19 and many other problems\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0this<\/span>\u00a0life and<\/span>\u00a0here-after<\/span>\u00a0too<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
