| Abstract | In our previous articles, we have discussed the Islamic strategies for prevention and management of pandemic diseases andthe preventive methods of coronavirus in Islamic perspectives and health science approaches. These two papers came firstbecause, if one sees a snake in one room it has to killfirst before looking for the source, or if one sees a fire in his/her house thenext thing to do is to put the fire offfirst before looking for the source. Therefore, the current paper intends to discuss the originand evolution of the coronavirus pandemic in health science approaches and Islamic perspectives. The qualitative, library-based approach will be used as a research method and the data will be exclusively sought from the Qur’an,Ahadith, books, journals,and Islamic manuscripts. The findings of this study shed light that, some scientific experts traced the origin of the outbreak toa seafood market, and in one scenario, it was said the virus was through natural selection in a non-human host, the laboratory manufactured and the Muslim clerics called the virus Allah’s will to punishment. The paper shows that the diseases have both positive and negative functions in Islam: as a punishment from Allah, as a means of trials and tribulations as well as a meansof cleansing from sin. The paper, therefore, concludes that it remains unclear exactly how the virus originated and first spread to humans. In Islam, therefore, it happens with His knowledge and permission because with Him are the keys of the unseen treasures. |
