Covid-19 Pandemics and the Impact of Psychology: The Basis of Building a Prosperous Family According to Islamic Perspective

Abstract

A prosperous family needs to have a balance between internal and external. The criteria of a prosperous family can be understood through the writings of Islamic scholars in their books. The reality is, Muslim families today are facing a threat that is large enough that it can lead to moral, social and economic collapse. The addition of Covid-19 transmission and the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO), had an impact on the psychological health of the family. Families face various emotional issues such as anxiety, nervousness and stress. The psychological study of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) found that the period of MCO or quarantine during the pandemic period had a significant relationship with psychological issues. The objectives of the study were to explain the challenges and effects of Covid-19 transmission on family psychology. The results of the study found that in order to produce a prosperous family, Islam has laid down some guidelines such as choosing a good mate, practicing religious values ​​in the family and open-hearted to accept this challenge as a test from Allah SWT.
