Chicago Muslim Group Promotes Prophet Muhammad’s Health Advice Amid COVID-19 Crisis

The recommendations of the Prophet Muhammad are still relevant. In Chicago, the Muslim association Gain Peace, which promotes the true face of Islam to the general public and dispels the misconceptions that alter its message and understanding, has created a poster on public health. A public awareness message in this period where the coronavirus is raging in the United States.

"Wash your hands frequently. Do not leave infected areas and do not go to infected areas," can be read (in English) on this poster. This message is inspired by the following hadiths: "When you learn that the plague has broken out in a country, do not go there; but if it breaks out in the country where you are, do not leave that place to flee from it" - [Bukhari and Muslim].

The Prophet Muhammad urged to avoid putting a sick person and a healthy person in the same room. A measure implemented to curb the spread of covid-19 in almost all the countries in the world affected by the disease.
