The statement, which began with Surah Inshirah Ayat 5 that says  “Indeed, with hardship comes ease”, recalled that the new type of Corona Virus epidemic called Covid-19 had spread all over the world and had started to affect all countries.

“This disease can be transmitted very easily and quickly and can result in death, especially for those with chronic illnesses and the elderly,” the statement warned.

“The prophet once ordered for the places where infectious diseases occur that “those inside should not go out and those outside should not enter the diseased areas." In this sense, quarantine is in the command of Islam. It is a fact that we will be able to overcome this disease in a shorter space of time with the determined measures.”

The statement went on to say: “It is stated by scientists that the most basic method of protection from these diseases is staying in your own home. It is very important not to leave the house and cut social contact unless it is mandatory. Unfortunately, it is observed that this issue is not paid enough attention and not many people do this. So, people must comply with these health-related precautionary decisions.”

Point outing that It is not easy to stay at home in this process, especially because we have no idea how long it will last, the statement said: “However, again like it is stated in the Quran with every hardship comes ease. It is necessary to strive to make the best use of the current situation and conditions while calling upon our Lord to benefit this misfortune.”

The statement continued as follows:

“As the ‘Prophet Lovers Foundation we want our brothers to pay attention to the following issues and believe that they will make the best use of their time at home if they implement the recommended program.
