Advice given more than 1,400 years by Islam's Prophet Muhammad has gone viral in 2020, as the world grapples with the coronavirus outbreak.

A billboard has been erected in Chicago to advise locals on how to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, using age-old advice from Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

The advertisement, organised by Gain Peace in the United States, outlines how the Prophet of Islam historically dealt with pandemics during his time, all of which are guidelines set by world health organisations to deal with the current Covid-19 outbreak.

"Wash your hands frequently, don't leave infected areas and don’t visit infected areas," the billboard says, advise linked to Islam's final messenger.

The guidelines are based on historic hadith, or narration, of the Prophet which has been widely shared across social media platforms since the current coronavirus outbreak began to spread across the world last year.

Prophet Muhammad said, according to the narration

"When you hear that a plague is in a land, do not enter it and if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place,"

"Do not place a sick patient with a healthy person," the Prophet adds in another narration.

The centuries-old advice has resonated with millions of people across the globe as Covid-19 infects more than 2,419,194 and killed 165,775 worldwide.

Governments across the world - from the US to Iran - have come under fire for not responding in time to stem the spread of the outbreak.

Their instructions now to stop the spread of coronavirus appears to mirror the advise of the Prophet, which appears relevant for the modern-day.

"Prophet Muhammad established a religion built upon revelation and intellect. The Quran is the revelation which gives us our way of life, and with every new age and civilisation the intellect is our guiding light and what he referred to as our 'inner prophet'," Lecturer Hussain Makke told The New Arab.

"With this pandemic, not only does the intellect emphasise taking all precautionary measures, as to avoid the virus, but revelation itself forbids the harming of others or self-harm. 

"Prophet Muhammad's advice on general cleanliness, prioritising community support in daily life and even specifically quarantining during a pandemic leaves us yearning for a leader like him in these times," he added.

"When you hear that a plague is in a land, do not enter it and if the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place,"

But why do folks up north keep leaving in droves?

Allahu Akbar. Allah continue to shower His blessings on the noble Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W)

Islam is the only true religion of Allah,there is nothing that will happen to humanity in this world that the prophet (SAW) has never shed light on.I mean there is nothing, even the events of 5000 years to come has already been mentioned by the prophet (SAW),that alone truly shows the authenticity of Islam over any other religion....

I dont mean to sound tribalistic but the truth is that most northerners lack adequate knowledge, most of them are just taught what their clerics think is right and not necessarily the sincere stuff

Alhamdulilai... Islam is a way of life....


Judaism and Islam came from Prophets of Allah, Moses (PUBG) and Mohammed (SAW) through angel gabreil or jibril

Unlike one religion that came from Roman pagans, and some disciples who denied Prophet Issah (PUBG) at his dying moment
