 Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:«
Plague is calamity which was sent to the people of Israel.If
you hear of the presence of plague in a land,do not enter
it,but if it spreads in the land where you are,do not fly
from it.»
Bukhary and Moslim agreed upon it.It is correct.
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said:«
Plague is a torment which is
sent upon any people according to God's will.It is mercy for
the believers who live in the plaguy land patiently
believing that it is God's will.They are rewarded by the
heaven as the death by plague is a martyrdom for the Moslim.»
It is narrated by the standard
Ahmed and Sahih Bukhary from Ashia.
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:«Death
by plague is martyrdom for the Moslim and who flys from it
is punished as same as the deserter.»
It is narrated by standared Ahmed from Ashia and Al Syuty
said it is a perfect Hadith.
Quarantine is one of the most important methods to resist
the spreading of the epidemic diseases. It is apparent, as
presented, in the sacred prophetic Hadith that they define
the principals of quarantine. It prevents people from
entering a plaguy area, as well as it prevents its people
from running out of it. The quarantine is a new concept that
was known recently for humanbeing and it is still being
applied until today.
It
is understandable and does not need a minute awareness of
the disease why the healthy person is banned from going to
the epidemic area. Unless having wide knowledge of the
modern medical science, it is hard to understand why it is
banned to get out from the epidemic area specially its
healthy people. It makes sense when the healthy person, who
lives in an epidemic area, to run away to another safe in
order to avoid the infection.
The
modern medicine proves that the healthy person might be a
carrier if he lives in an epidemic area. Although people
could be infected by many plagues, not every carrier is a
patient. How many carriers are free from the disease
symptoms. The incubation is a duration which is between the
microbe invasion into the body and appearing the symptoms of
the disease. Despite the microbe division and its
reproducing is very strong in the incubation, the person
does not suffer from any thing through this duration. After
awhile may extend or not according to the disease type and
its microbe, the dormant disease's symptoms appear in the
body. It is known that the incubation of the Hepatitis may
prolong for six months and the tuberculosis may be dormant
in the body for many years. The carrier, or who gets microbe
invasion and the symptoms did not appear yet, endangers
others without himself suffering from the disease neither
the others do. The ban is decisive and the punishment of the
rebellious is as same as the deserter's one.
