主題：Covid-19真正教會了我們什麽？

Reflection Over COVID-19 Disaster By Shehu Dalhu

By Prosper Agbenyega March 16, 2020

The Zongo Chief of Tamale and Spiritual leader of Ahlul bayt mission in Northern region, Shehu Dalhu Abdul-Mumini said the novel Coronavirus outbreak should remind people of all walks of life to see them as equal, regardless of their culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous they are.

He said this disease treats us all equally, and perhaps we should to.

He said this in a piece of write up he did on  how people should reflect on the global menace.

REFLECTION OVER THE DISASTER by (Shehu Dalhu)

What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?

主題：Covid-19真正教會了我們什麽？

Allah (SWT) says in the holy Quran 2:155
“ And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patients. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: “Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.”

'A SPIRITUAL PURPOSE'

"I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.

我堅信發生的每一件(jiàn)事(shì)後面都(dōu)有一個精神層面的目的，無論我們認爲是好還(hái)是壞。

As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us.

當我沉思時，我想與大家分(fēn)享我的心得(de)，新冠病毒究竟對我們做了些什麽。

1) It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to. If you don’t believe me, just ask Tom Hanks.

1) 病毒提醒我們，人(rén)都(dōu)是平等的，無論我們的文化、宗教、職業、經濟狀況，或是一個人(rén)有多麽出名。在病毒眼中我們都(dōu)是平等的，也許我們也應該平等對待他(tā)人(rén)。如(rú)果你(nǐ)不相(xiàng)信我的話(huà)，那就(jiù)去(qù)問(wèn)湯姆·漢克斯。

2) It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.

2) 病毒提醒我們，我們的命運都(dōu)是聯在一起的，影(yǐng)響一個人(rén)的事(shì)情同時也會影(yǐng)響另一個人(rén)。病毒也提醒我們，我們建立的虛假國境線毫無價值，因爲病毒并不需要護照(zhào)。病毒還(hái)提醒我們，雖然我們暫時受到壓迫，世界上還(hái)有人(rén)一生都(dōu)受到壓迫。

3) It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals. If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.

3) 病毒提醒我們，健康多麽珍貴。而我們卻忽視健康，吃(chī)垃圾食品，喝(hē)被各種化學品污染的水，如(rú)果我們不照(zhào)顧自(zì)己，我們當然就(jiù)會生病。

4) It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.

4) 病毒提醒我們，生命苦短(duǎn)，什麽是我們最應該做的事(shì)情，那就(jiù)是互相(xiàng)幫助，特别是幫助那些老年人(rén)或者生病的人(rén)。人(rén)生在世的目的不是買一卷卷的廁紙。

5) It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine) as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.

5) 病毒提醒我們，我們的社會已經變得(de)物質至上，當我們遇到困難時，我們才想起我們的基本需求是食物、飲水和藥品，而不是并沒有什麽價值的奢侈品。

6) It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this. It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit.

6) 病毒提醒我們，家庭是如(rú)何重要，但(dàn)我們卻忽視了這一點。病毒強迫我們回到我們的房(fáng)子裡(lǐ)，所以我們可(kě)以把房(fáng)子建成家庭，并建立牢固的家庭紐帶。

'OUR TRUE WORK'

7) It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do. Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.

7) 病毒提醒我們，我們真正的工(gōng)作(zuò)并不是我們打的那份工(gōng)，我們固然需要打工(gōng)，然而上帝創造我們的目的并不是讓我們打工(gōng)。我們真正的工(gōng)作(zuò)是互相(xiàng)照(zhào)顧、互相(xiàng)保護、互助互利。

8) It is reminding us to keep our egos in check. It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are, a virus can bring our world to a standstill.

8) 病毒提醒我們，我們不能妄自(zì)尊大。病毒還(hái)提醒我們，無論你(nǐ)覺得(de)自(zì)己多偉大，也無論别人(rén)覺得(de)你(nǐ)多麽偉大，一個小小的病毒就(jiù)能讓整個世界停擺。

9) It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands. We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only our self. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colours.

9) 病毒提醒我們，自(zì)由掌握在我們自(zì)己手中。我們可(kě)以選擇合作(zuò)互助、分(fēn)享、付出、互相(xiàng)支持，或者我們也可(kě)以選擇自(zì)私、囤積和自(zì)顧自(zì)。隻有在困難的時候才能看(kàn)出一個人(rén)的真面目。

10) It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic. We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.

10) 病毒提醒我們，我們既可(kě)以耐心，也可(kě)以恐慌。我們既可(kě)以理(lǐ)解這種情況在曆史上已經發生過多次，但(dàn)最後都(dōu)過去(qù)了，我們也可(kě)以恐慌，以爲世界末日(rì)到了，結果傷害了我們自(zì)己。

11) It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning. This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.

11) 病毒提醒我們，疫情既是結束也是開始。我們現在可(kě)以反省和理(lǐ)解，從(cóng)錯誤裡(lǐ)吸取教訓。疫情也可(kě)以是一個輪回的開始，而且還(hái)會繼續下去(qù)，直至我們吸取教訓爲止。

12) It is reminding us that this Earth is sick. It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick.

12) 病毒提醒我們，我們的地球病了。病毒還(hái)提醒我們，我們必須看(kàn)到森林消失的速度，也必須看(kàn)到一卷卷廁紙從(cóng)貨架上消失的速度。我們都(dōu)病了，因爲我們的家庭病了。

13) It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease. Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.

13) 病毒提醒我們，困難總會過去(qù)，然後就(jiù)容易了。生活是周期性的，現在隻是周期裡(lǐ)的一個階段。我們不必恐慌，疫情一定會過去(qù)。

14) Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a *great corrector*. It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.

14) 許多人(rén)認爲新冠病毒的疫情是一場災難，但(dàn)我覺得(de)這是一次“偉大的糾錯”。它是爲了提醒我們我們似乎已經忘記了的重要教訓，是否再次吸取教訓取決于我們自(zì)己。
