Under Catastrophes, a Psycho-social Crisis Maintains Hidden Solution (P-1)

“ And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. do righteous deeds of Allah's Obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, thanked and rewarded (by Allah).” (V-17:37)
The main issue in this invisible virus is people are confused, depressed and helpless. So, all seem to be suffering from psychological ailments. To get out of great depression place like curfew within home, loss of job, funs, social pleasures, limited sources to pass a routine life as a caged spirit, the solution lies within the parameter of each individual’s mental functioning. The main goal is how to readjust the life pattern within the changing circumstances. Those who are flexible and smart gradually recharge themselves to accept the realities of life. In the Qur’an, the main solution is to be patient, accept the command of the Master, pray for the hidden solution from the Master of the universe, correct one’s self and ask for pardon to get relief from sufferings as He is All-Knower of the stimuli-solution within His system. Mere crying, blaming, cursing self as an unfortunate creature or showing rage against the Master will further add pains to the sufferings. Instead, no one bothers about the limitations of oneself, so it is of no use to cry over spilt milk; rather, it is time for self-correction to start a moderate life with having happiness of the blessings and concentrate on a bond for peace in a state of helplessness.
No doubt like all catastrophes, corona virus is turned against human by abusing the existing system, so its hidden solution to calm down its reaction also exists within the hidden dimension under law of causation of the natural system. Perhaps it may be due to excessive use of artificial, chemical ingredients or confronting the sleeping virus in the existing system or it may be abnormal human social relationship triggering the revenge of the virus.
Keeping in view the historical torments, now COVID-19 reaction appeared in the existing within an existing system for which mankind is trying hard to get relief through tiresome techniques but so far without any positive results. In fact when someone interrupt the established universal system or challenge the Super power without realizing his own limitations, ultimate will have to face the consequences. This fact is revealed in detail for such Zalem (Cruel), Jahl (Ignorant), Insaan (Forgetful/short memory), Kenwood (Ungrateful to his Creator), Jabbar (Tyrant), Mojaadel (Adverse), Zani (Deviant), Mutakabir (Boasting), arrogant people in V-36:77-83,”Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" Say: "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!" He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.”
PATIENCE, POSITIVE THINKING, ACCEPTING THE AUTHENYICITY OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR BY FEELING HIS BLESSINGS INSTEAD OF SELF-CURSING WITHOUT ANY OU PUT, AS YOU CANNOT FIGHT WITH THE PREVAILING NATURE AND NATURAL SYSTEM
After re-correcting and reconnecting to the sole Master by washing all self-assumptions, one must rekindle life on the golden rules with moderate life and soothing mental functioning; try to figure out why nature and His system turned against humans like previous arrogant and extremist nations.
Adapt a middle way and all provisions are in control of the Sole Provider reassured in V-17:19,”And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. do righteous deeds of Allah's Obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, thanked and rewarded (by Allah).”
No doubt, peace is within a self only. So, one should have self-analysis and self-treatment as no one can bring a change within an individual till one is ready for action toward the set goals. An arrogant should learn to act like a gentleman
For the correction of wrong belief about prophets/saints that through the association to the Creator, they can save them from the catastrophic, it is revealed in V-18:110,” Say (O Muhammad): "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God i.e. Allah). So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.”
Humans are always greedy and try to control nature by huge building, cutting trees, increasing artificial beaches, gases, pollution, ruining natural resources, killing humans just to have self control. They do this without realizing they have a short unknown life in this mega-system of Almighty Allah to whom all are subdued but unfortunately arrogant humans turn against His authority and created their own providers from the biological dependent. Humans are reminded of the time value to reset their lifestyle in Al-Asr V-103:1-3,”By Al-'Asr (the time). Verily! Man is in loss, Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Ma'ruf) which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar)which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause).
Unfortunately, human beings are Aneed (Rebel), Zanoon (Subjective assumptions), Mujrim (Incriminating), Mufsed (Trouble-maker), Munkar (Obstinate), Maghroor (Arrogant), restless, dominating, so they become easily reactive without realizing the consequences. People get no time in worldly competition about the Originator of life, So, they are reminded that Almighty Unique Master is sole controller of the universal system as revealed in V-4:126, and in detail revealed for insight in V-6:122-125,”Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men, like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out? Thus it is made fair-seeming to the disbelievers that which they used to do. And thus We have set up in every town great ones of its wicked people to plot therein. But they plot not except against their ownselves, and they perceive (it) not. And when there comes to them a sign (from Allah) they say: "We shall not believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allah had received." Allah knows best with whom to place His Message. Humiliation and disgrace from Allah and a severe torment will overtake the criminals (polytheists, sinners, etc.) for that which they used to plot. And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islam, and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus Allah puts the wrath on those who believe not. And this is the Path of your Lord (the Qur'an and Islam) leading Straight. We have detailed Our Revelations for a people who take heed.”
