We take things for granted and are not respectful to our body as well as the environment. The recent dangerous outbreak of the Covid-19 virus might have been an outcome of some complex mutations, but we as humans have provided cause for this. We have no regard for the environment, which we have been destroying and polluting for decades. Similarly, we don’t keep our surroundings clean. We either put everything on the government or are indifferent to our environment. Even if the government tries to make rules, we defy those and then expect things to be perfect.
This is exactly what is happening in the wake of the novel coronavirus outbreak. The government is pleading that we follow social and physical distancing guidelines, avoid public gatherings to help stop the spread of this virus. However, many are not following the instructions – blatantly disregarding the distancing and lockdown orders as if they are immune to this deadly virus. The worst thing is that they don’t realize that by doing so, they not only endanger their own lives but also expose the entire country to the deadly coronavirus. May Allah give us the wisdom to protect ourselves and others from this virus.
