Abstract

What can we learn from Islamic tradition about pandemic? First of all, we must explain this, there is a big literature about pandemics in Islamic religious literature. So, there are lot of things we can learn about pandemics from Islamic literature. Once a day prophet Mohammed said that about pandemic, if there is a pandemic anybody doesn't go out form there, and if there is pandemic in anyplace outside don't go into that place until pandemic stops. This verse of prophet Mohammed tells us everything about pandemic. Because this verse is about isolation. And also, prophet Mohammed says cleanness is the half of belief. And also, he says cleanness comes from belief. So, there are a lot of things in Islamic literature about pandemic that we can learn.

Of course, this is not the last word about this subject but it is a word about this subject that we can learn some important points form Islamic literature.
