Abstract

The recent outbreak of Corona Virus pandemic and the subsequent emergence of Hantavirus’ threats in China has challenged the human health security across the world and claimed the lives of many innocent people. Islamic law especially Holy Quran and Narrationsof the Holy Prophet (peace be upon Him) guarantees the Global Human Health Security – irrespective of race, culture, religion, language, geography, and any other consideration. It discourages all kinds of barbarism and human casualties not only in peace time but also in war times. It protects the life, health and honour of the non-combatants. In addition, it emphasises on the observance of cleanliness in habits of eating of food, earning of livelihood, and of keeping environment clean so as to promote a universal healthy society free from all kinds of microbial diseases, but also teaches the solutions of human’s sufferings in case of outbreak of pandemics.
