See this content in the original post

As we hunker down and wait in anticipation for a COVID-19 breakthrough, we inevitably begin to think about our mortality and whether we have within us the ability to deal with this crisis. In the coming weeks we are going to explore the COVID-19 crisis and its implications. 

Today I invite back onto the show Dr Shadee Elmasry, prominent Imam and Scholar from the United States.

We discuss:

  1. The 'cancellation' of jumuah and the madahibs

  2. Is this a punishment from Allah?

  3. Are we martyrs (shaheed) if we die?

  4. If we get it then is it Allah's will?

  5. How did early Muslim's deal with communicable diseases?

  6. Trusting experts and human nature

  7. WhatsApp disinformation

  8. Stockpiling

  9. Responsibility to others

  10. How a believer should spend their time
