Are Muslims Immune to Coronavirus?

American Thinker: The Islamic world is not suffering from COVID-19 the way non-Muslim nations are, because Islam naturally makes Muslims “cleaner” than infidels. 

Such is the contention Muslims around the world are triumphantly making.  Thus, the recent article, “Coronavirus – an Islamic Perspective,” opens up as follows:

Allāh has blessed us with a religion that is complete and perfect for all times and places.  Allāh tells us in the Qur’ān:

“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as your religion”

We also have in the Prophet (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam), the best of examples, as Allāh says in the Qur’ān:

“Surely there was a good example for you in the Messenger of Allāh”

Whatever problem or issue a Muslim is facing [the article goes on to talk about coronavirus], he returns back to Allāh and his Messenger for guidance; there is nothing that happens in the life of a Muslim except that his religion has a solution to it.

The idea is that those who follow Allah’s commandments (as captured in the Koran) and the prophet’s example (as captured in the hadith) have a much better chance of evading, say, diseases, than infidels do. 

Muslims everywhere are certainly boasting that this is the case, considering how little the coronavirus has spread among Islamic nations.  They attribute this boon to Islam’s ritual washing (wudu); they are also quoting a hadith where Muhammad reportedly said, “Cleanliness is from belief,” as proof that, the more a Muslim submits to the teachings of Islam, the “cleaner” — and therefore healthier — a Muslim becomes.

Certainly, any teaching or axiom that extolls cleanliness is beneficial.  However, mainstream Muslim scholars (ulema) have concluded that this particular hadith is weak (da’if), meaning that Muhammad most likely never said it.

This raises the question: what did Muhammad say about cleanliness, washing, or anything else that touches on the topic of avoiding diseases and viruses — in the authentic (or sahih) hadiths, particularly the two most canonical, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim?

For starters, we learn that the reason for ritual washing has nothing to do with hygiene.  According to Abu Hurreira, “[t]he Messenger of Islam said that ‘Allah will not accept any of your prayers if you have an occurrence without performing wudu.”‘  When Hurreira was asked what constituted an “occurrence,” he replied: “silent or loud farts” (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab al-Wudu).

Flatulence has nothing to do with contracting or preventing diseases, though in Islam it clearly has theological significance — that of annulling prayers unless “washed” away. more here

  1. Iran seems to be getting hit rather hard by it.

    Must be the wrong kind of Islam.

    Or maybe the idol licking thing they like to engage in to show how Allah makes them immune to it.

  2. …having seen WAY more if Islamic “cleansing” methods in the PUBLIC bathrooms of a FOOD PLANT, I will say that, if Coronavirus is vulnerable to foul-smelling Africans “washing” their ding-dings in the urinals with water scooped by hand and considering THAT to cover the hand washing too, then proceeding to the sink and huffing water up their nose so they can blast it all over the walls and fixtures, covering everything in a craggy landscape of drying boogers and snot, then using the same finger to flick things out of their ears, all in some obesiance to the Mohammaden mockery of the Abrahamaic Bible, then yes, they’re immune to Coronavirus.

    …and of COURSE we can believe Muslim statistics, even though lying is so ingrained in Islam they have names for TYPES of lying…

  3. If the FILTHY Mohammedan Savages in this nation insist on going to their mosques despite shelter in place orders then it is time to shut them down foribly.

    If you go into a gas station and it’s run or owned by a Filthy Mohammedan, you’re fucked. They are disease-bags

    “The problem with that proposition is Iran. Maybe it’s the Shia muslims who are unclean. Fight it out, y’all.”

    “Maybe there is something to drinking camel piss?”

    …the “camel piss” story just demonstrates how jacked-up Islam is even as a “spiritual” system…

    “Anas said, “Some people of ‘Ukl or ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in ‘Al-Harra’ and when they asked for water, no water was given to them.” Abu Qilaba said, “Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle .”
    (Sahih Bukhari, Ablutions (Wudu’), Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234)”

    …which means, even if you believe, that a!!ah was STUPID to heal them and no one got ANY benefit from it, so of COURSE the only thing they could do was full-on torture savagery because Mad Mo was butthurt…

    …but as a cure, even WHO wasn’t on board, at least at one time. It caused OTHER respiratory issues, it seems…

    https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/06/10/stop-drinking-camel-urine-world-health-organization-says

  8. …oh, by the way, just to highlight…

    From the 2015 Camel Piss drinking article above…

    “Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus”

    …hmm, sounds FAMILIAR…what’s it DO?!?

    “— leads to fevers, breathing problems, pneumonia, kidney failure and other deadly complications.”

    …hmm, ya don’t suppose…nah, I’m SURE if they knew about a deadly Coronavirus in the waning years of the “Obama” administration involving a Muslim infection vector based in the Koran, our ever-vigilant media would have been ALL over it…/s

    …anyway, the article…

  9. There are other questionable claims being made by others. Wikipedia in response to COVID-19 is boasting,

    ” With the uncertainty surrounding the outbreak of the COVID-19, we want to reassure our readers across the globe that our volunteers are working to bring you a trusted source of unbiased information.”

    Trusted and unbiased. Really? When did this change happen?

  10. The women have been self quarantining in garbage bags for a long time…or is that qurantining? If the males would do the same and never remove the bags they might be on to something.

  11. …just so you know, guys, those red dots on top of the urinal next to the handle, sometimes on it, is the blood from unchecked syphillus after their urinal based dick and hand washing.

    Ditto for the drops in FRONT of the urinal. And on the toilet paper they may have on top of the urinal.

    …seems Muzzies don’t believe in TREATING STDs. The pills may have pork in them, you see…

    https://www.ummah.com/forum/forum/family-lifestyle-community-culture/islamic-lifestyle-social-issues/66864-medicine-is-pork-to-muslims

    …so, good luck treating Corona in Islam with Jewish pills, guys, the trust level will be off the charts…

  12. dont get your hopes up, folks

    you remember – that’s where thousands of inbreds

    are gonna walk, walk, walk around the rock
    they’re gonna walk gonna walk around the rock that night

  13. Islam COVID-19 numbers are “low” because, it’s a weak strain and the Mohammedan morons probably group all respiratory infections together.
    Bet the flu is a bigger problem for them, like it is for everyone else in the world.
    As usual Islam has nothing to brag about.
