Coronavirus: 743 Malaysian Tabligh members who attended Ijtima’h tested positive

PUTRAJAYA: A total of 743 cases from the tabligh cluster have tested positive for Covid-19, out of 11,000 people from the group who have been traced so far.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said he had engaged with the jamaat (group) leaders to seek cooperation in getting the tabligh participants to get screened.

“This is not to stigmatise the jamaat tabligh (participants). We are concerned with the spread of the virus as the gathering (at Sri Petaling Mosque last month) comprised participants from various countries,” he said.

He said Malaysia, which was in its fourth phase of mitigation, was a crucial time with a small window to break the infection, following the Movement Control Order being enforced.

 

Meanwhile, he said a total of 25 patients had fully recovered and were discharged today, bringing the total discharged to 139.

The Health Ministry reported 123 new Covid-19 cases, bringing the number to 1,306.
Dr Noor Hisham said 46 of them are being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU), of whom 22 needed ventilator support.

Coronavirus threats in our mosques

Concerned Muslims on social media are calling on the authorities and the Muslim community in various mosques to investigate the participation of Nigerian representation at the annual Ijtimah (convention) held between 27the of February and 1st of March 2020, in Malaysia.

The country’s Health Ministry discovered that after the conclusion of the programme, 77 Malaysian participants were found to be positive of the virus, with additional 99 new cases.

Muslim News findings revealed that no fewer than 16, 000 participants across the world (14,500 Malaysians, 1500 foreigners) graced the event at the Sri Petaling but all efforts to track the details of Nigerian representatives at the convention have proven abortive.

A social media user, Kabir Al Asfar, posted on Facebook, after the Malaysia incident; “On a serious note, the NCDC ( Nigeria Centre for Disease Control) needs to know and track down any Nigerian who attended that tablighee ijtima in Southeast Asia. This is because the members of tabligh move around very much. This isn’t a sectarian post. This is pure common sense. Help me tag the NCDC if you can or send this to them.”

It is however not certain if the NCDC or the Nigerian Muslim community has identified anyone that attended the event, same way no one from the Jamah has presented himself for screening despite the fact that many mosques do not have temperature scanners.

    COVID-19 PANDEMIC: Between

    Surah At-Taubah, Verse 51:
    قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
    SAY: “NO EVIL CAN TOUCH US EXCEPT WHAT ALLAH HAS DECREED FOR US. HE IS OUR PROTECTOR, AND ON HIM SHOULD BELIEVERS RELY.”

    and
    و خذوا حذركم (4:102
    TAKE PREVENTIVE MEASURE (I.E TAKE CAUTION).

    The preventive measures of self isolation, social distancing and quarantine are a means of preventing the Covid-19 and other contagious diseases from spreading among the people. Muslims need to cooperate with NCDC and other relevant government agencies to stem the tide of the pandemic in our social space. And this practice is in tandem with the dictates of the Shari’ah since Islam seeks to preserve, inter alia, “Lives of people”, “Religion” and “Family/genealogy”. Majority of the scholars have issued verdicts and strongly advised the Muslims to stay at home and take precautionary measures. We will be rewarded by staying at home, in shaa Allah.

    [21/‏3 4:22 م] الشيخ مشهور بن حسن:
    من جلس في بيته فله مثل أجر الشهيد وإن لم يمت..

    قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:”ليس من رجل يقع الطاعون، فيمكث في بيته صابرا محتسبا يعلم أنه لا يصيبه إلا ما كتب الله له إلا كان له مثل أجر الشهيد”.(رواه أحمد.26139).

    [21/‏3 4:24 م] الشيخ مشهور بن حسن:
    له اجر الشهيد سواء بقي حيا اوكتب الله عليه الموت فالاجر ثابت علي كل حال

    Shaykh Mashhoor bn Hasan (hafizahuLlahu ta’aalaa) said: ” A Muslim who stays at home has the reward of a martyr even if he does not die of the epidemic.
    The Prophet sallaLlahu ‘alayhi wasallam said: ” There is no one who, at the time of plague, stays a home, patient and hoping for the reward from Allah while believing that nothing afflicts him except what Allah has destined for him– except that he is rewarded with the reward of a martyr” (Reported by Ahmad)
    The Shaykh further said: He has the reward of martyrdom whether he survives the plague or he dies of it.
    May Allah in His Infinite Mercy save us all from this pandemic and other than it and forgive us our sins.

    May Allah heal them. But efforts should be intensified to track them all through travel documentations.
