| Summary: | Introduction: The magnitude of diseases caused by viral pathogens is
enormous. Some types of virus frequently leading to chronic infections
which cause significant medical and economic issues. Viral agents are
constantly emerging or re-emerging with the recent Coronavirus
outbreak causing panic to the people worldwide. Methodology: Relevant
literatures were reviewed based on a combination of one or more of the
following keywords: infection, viral diseases, modes of transmission,
prevention control. Islamic perspective related to the topic was extracted
using the primary sources (related Qur’anic verses and Hadith) as well as
secondary sources (fatwa; Islamic jurisprudence, made by Islamic
scholars). Results: This review focuses on an intelligible framework that
highlights the differences between various modes of viral transmission
and prevention. Conclusion: Understanding viral modes of transmission
and prevention methods may allow for improved surveillance and
prevention measures. This review also demonstrates prevention methods
from Islamic beliefs in order to control future occurrence of disease
outbreaks. Another major outcome of this review would allow various
parties. i.e. students, university, the community, health scientists, medical
practitioners to be cognizant pertaining viral infection. |
