US billboard advertises 1400 years-old Coronavirus advice from Islam's Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)



A few days back a picture went viral on social media platforms of a US billboard which carries advice from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to protect oneself from any kind of infectious disease. This advice was given 1400 years ago by the Holy Prophet of Islam Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to his followers during the times of Pandemic, Epidemic or Plague. Basically, the Plague was known at that time.

A billboard has been installed up high in Chicago advising residents on how to prevent the spread of the noel coronavirus using age-old advice of Islam's Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The billboard was erected by Gain Peace in the United States, outlines how the Islamic Prophet historically dealt with pandemics during his time. The advice he gave ton his followers all of which are guidelines issued by the World Health Organisation to deal with the current COVID-19 situation.

Following is the advice given to us by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also you can cross-check with the guidelines set by WHO.

1) Wash your hands frequently
2) Do not leave the infected area and do not visit infected areas.
Says Billboard, according to the Islam's last messenger

These are also mentioned in most of the authentic (Sahih) hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the following advice is historically based on the hadith of prophet Muhammad which has been widely shared across social media platforms since the pandemic disease began to spread across the world.

Hadith
" If 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"

As we all know that the holy month of Ramadan is around the corner and across the Muslim world precautionary measures like social distancing have been circulated to stop the spread of the virus, we ask Allah's pardon and his mercy to protect us and keep us healthy.
