Abstract
Background and Objective: The function of the immune system is to fight against viruses, cancers, infections, and corona disease. Many factors, such as heredity, nutrition, air pollution, toxic gases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and blood pressure, are effective in strengthening and weakening the body's immune system. One of the factors affecting the body's immune system is relaxation and mental, cerebral, and nervous pressures such as fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, and anger. Faith, beliefs, and calming and positive behaviors are influential in strengthening the immune system in the face of cancers, infections, and corona, and one of the ways to reinforce the immune system against the corona virus is faith in the teachings of chapter Al-Hamd of the Quran. Of course, even with strong faith, if they do not observe the health protocols related to the immune system, the body will be weak against viruses and possibly die. Many articles have been written about the coronavirus. Still, so far, no research has been done on the effect of faith in the teachings of chapter Al-Hamd in the face of the corona virus. Therefore, this study tried to explain and prove how faith in the teachings of Surah Hamad affects the strengthening of the immune system in the face of the corona virus.
Methods: The method used in the present study is library based analytical and the keywords faith and belief, mental health, Chapter Al-Hamd, stress and worries, corona, severe fear and their derivations, synonyms, antonyms and Arabic and English equivalents were used for this purpose. Furthermore, Islamic sources such as the Quran, Nahj ul-Balaghah and valid psychology books such as those by Hilgard and Santrock were also used as source. The authors reported no conflict of interests in this study.
Results: Belief in the teachings of chapter Al-Hamd of the Quran causes satisfaction, peace, and happiness and reduction of fears and chronic psychological stress in the brain and the nervous system, and leads to strengthening of the immune system against the corona virus.
Conclusion: One of the ways to strengthen the immune system in the face of Corona is to believe in and practice the teachings of chapter Al-Hamd of the Quran.
