The government has just announced country wide holidays for all educational institutes in Pakistan, effective immediately.

Please understand these are not vacations, this is not spring break.

These are emergency measures put in place to control the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

Do not take this as an opportunity to pack up your bags and head north, or to plan outings with extended family, or to visit malls and cinemas.

This is a national emergency and a global pandemic.

Stay indoors and stay safe.

Avoid public gatherings.

Avoid public spaces.

I shudder to think what will become of us if the situation implodes.

We are not Italy and we are not China. We do not have protocols in place to quarantine thousands of people and curtail contagion.

We must take individual responsibility.

Educate those around you, your domestic helpers, urge them to maintain hygiene and protect their families.

This is the time to come together as a community and do your part.

What a lesson in humility honestly.

We are powerless in the face of this adversity, and can only look Heaven-ward for protection.

May Allah keep us and our loved ones safe.

Ameen.

Respected Parents!!!

Right now we have a golden opportunity as parents to make the most of this global catastrophe. Here are some ideas:

1. Teach children about the fiqh of food consumption which includes the different categories of permissible/impermissible meat.

2. Teach children and re-emphasize the importance of cleanliness in Islam, not just to wash their hands frequently.

3. Teach children the importance of wanting for “your brother what you want for yourself,” and sharing/caring in this “nafsy nafsy” climate.

4. Teach children the power of the prayer of istikhara in times of uncertainty.

5. Teach children that despite technology, modern science, etc., human beings will Always be weak and dependent on ALLAH S.W.T, and this is Proof.
When a small invisible virus can bring the world to its knees, never underestimate the power of ALLAH S.W.T.
We will always be in need of HIM whereas HE is free of all needs!

6. Teach children the value of time, because they will feel it being stretched in the next few weeks, months, etc.

7. Teach children the value of the elderly for they have been unjustly erased in our world and now many people will live to regret pushing them away.

8. Teach children the value of their masajid and community centers as events will be shut down and they will realize how much value being with fellow community members even for a few hours every week brought to their lives.

9. Teach children the importance of saying “BISMILLAH,” and “IN'SHA'ALLAH” as anything without of the name of ALLAH has no blessing.

10. Teach children that this world is temporal, death is a transition and NOT an end, and no matter how one dies or when the only thing that matters is they die with the KALIMA upon their lips.

May ALLAH S.W.T increase us all, draw us closer to HIM, and protect us from harm. Aameen'sum'ma'aameen ya RABB-ul-aalameen

Dear Parents,
It's an awareness message:

In order to protect ourselves and our families from Corona virus, we need to be aware and take the necessary precautions, as outlined below.

This virus is not heat- resistant and will be killed at a temperature of 26-27 degrees Centigrade. Therefore, drink hot water. Spend time in the sun.

Doctor's advice:

1. It is pretty large in size (cell is about 400-500nm diameter), so any normal mask (not just the N95 feature) should be able to filter it out. However, when someone who is infected sneezes or coughs in front of you, it will take 3 meters (about 10 feet) before it drops to the ground and is no longer air borne.

2. When the virus drops on metal surface, it will live for at least 12 hours. So remember, if you come in contact with any metal surface, wash your hands with soap thoroughly.

3. The virus can remain active on fabric for 6- 12 hours. Normal laundry detergent should kill the virus. For winter clothing that does not require daily washing, you can put it out under the sun to kill the virus.

About the symptoms of pneumonia caused by Coronavirus:

1. It will first infect the throat, so the throat will have the dry sore throat feeling which will last 3-4 days.

2. Then the virus will blend into the nasal fluid and drips into the trachea and enter the lungs, causing pneumonia. This process will take 5-6 days.

3. With pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You will feel like you are drowning in water. It’s important to seek immediate medical attention if you feel like this.

Prevention:

1. The most common way of getting infected is by touching things in public, so you must wash your hands (including the back of your hands, between the fingers, under the nails) frequently with soap for 20 seconds at least.. The virus can only live on your hands for 5- 10 mins, but a lot can happen in those 5- 10 min.

2. Ensure your mouth and throat is moist, never DRY. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other hot liquids will WASH them down through your esophagus and into the stomach. Once in your tummy, the stomach acid will kill all the virus. if you don't drink water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipes and into the LUNGS.

3. Gargle with Betadine Sore Throat Gargle to eliminate or minimize the germs while they are still in your throat (before dripping down to your lungs).

4. Avoid crowds and public places, because you do not know who might be sick. People who are infected can show no symptoms but are still INFECTIOUS.

5. Wear MASKS all the time. Throw away masks once they feel dirty- don't wear them for more than a day. Bacteria grows on the insides of the mask if worn too long. Also, don't touch the outside of the mask.

And of course PRAY to the Almighty to keep us in HIS protection.

Be safe!
