• Managing the Coronavirus Lock Down: Ml Safwaan Navlakhi

THE QURAN, A CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

The blessed Companion, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA) says: “There are ten verses of Surah Baqarah which have such effectiveness that if one recites them at night, neither Satan nor Jinn would enter one's home, NOR WOULD ONE AND ONE's FAMILY BE AFFLICTED WITH ILLNESS or calamity or sorrow that night, and that if they are recited over a man suffering from a fit of madness, his condition will improve.”

The ten verses are: (click here for a printable version)

• The first four verses of Surah Baqarah, (Alif Laam Meem until ‘Yuqinoon’).
• Three verses in the middle (that is, the Ayat al-Kursi and the two following verses).
• …and the last three verses of the Surah Baqarah. (Lillahi Maa Fis Samaawaat).

~ SUNAN AL-DARMI ~

Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus.

To protect yourself, the World Health Organization (WHO) says it is more important to:

1. Cover your mouth and nose while sneezing, with a tissue or your elbow.
2. Put the tissue straight into a closed bin.
3. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or sanitiser.
4. Keep your distance from people who are coughing and sneezing (at least one metre).

LET THE TRUCKER SLEEP

After driving for about six hours, a trucker decides to pull over and sleep for a little while. As soon as he falls asleep, he is awoken by some knocks on the door of the cab.

"Can you tell me the time, please?" asks a jogger.

"Yeah, it's 4:30," answers the trucker. He falls asleep again, but he is awoken again by another jogger who wants to know the time.

"It's 4:40!" yells the trucker. Deciding to really try to sleep a little, he writes on a piece of paper: I DON'T KNOW THE TIME. He sticks the paper in his windshield.

But he is awoken again. 'It's 5:25," says another jogger.
