COVID-19: Stand Together. Stay Apart. Draw Spiritual Strength.
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ
“We shall certainly test you with fear and hunger, and loss of property, lives, and crops. But [Prophet], give good news to those who are steadfast,” (Holy Quran 2:155)
We are beginning to normalize to a new routine in extra-ordinary times. We're all in this together. Just 6 feet apart. Together, we can and must slow the spread of COVID-19.
Physical distancing is about being physically apart from others, to help stop the spread of the virus. However, we aren't being asked to cut down socializing, as a matter of fact, technology today lets us do nearly anything virtually! Socially, we can need to stick together - just in a virtual way!
