Islamic Foundation for alerting devotees over Corona in khutba
DHAKA, March 12, 2020 (BSS) – The Islamic Foundation has urged the mosque
authorities to raise awareness about the novel coronavirus among the devotees
during giving religious sermon “khutba” before Jummah prayers.
“Islamic Foundation is specially requesting for discussing, what to do or
not to do, during the Jummah khutba in light with the Islam at all mosques
across the country to keep the mankind, including Muslims, protected and safe
from coronavirus and help them remain alert,” said a press release here
today.
It said the spread of coronavirus has turned into a ‘pandemic’ across the
world including China, Italy and Iran while three individuals were detected
with the COVID-19 in Bangladesh.
“Under the circumstances, rumors, panic and misleading information are
being spread. People become frightened,” it said.
The foundation also requested the respective people for presenting the
information in light with Islam that if anyone gets affected to corona virus,
he or she should avoid going to mosques and public gatherings.
It also asked to hold special doa to this end.
