This article explores the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic from an Islamic perspective, focusing on resilience, coping mechanisms, and community support through Hadith literature. Selected participants (Muslim) were recruited through random sampling from international students at the University Utara Malaysia. Interviewed them and asked four questions about their responses and reactions to issues during COVID-19. Analyzed the responses and their relation with compiling relevant Hadiths through an inductive reasoning approach. Utilizing qualitative interviews and analysis of Hadith teachings, the research delves into the responses and perceptions of Muslim individuals amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic. Findings reveal a deep-rooted faith and commitment to collective well-being among participants, manifested through proactive measures to protect families and patient acceptance of government regulations. The study highlights the resonance between respondents' actions and the timeless teachings of Islam, particularly in emphasizing the importance of caring for others, avoiding selfishness, and maintaining confidentiality regarding individuals' Covid-19 status. By integrating Islamic principles into the discourse on pandemic response, the research offers valuable insights for fostering resilience, solidarity, and compassion within Muslim communities and beyond. Ultimately, this study underscores the enduring relevance of Islamic teachings in navigating contemporary challenges and promoting a sense of unity and hope amidst adversity.

The worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, which has significantly affected the entire globe for the past three years, has also influenced daily life and mental well-being in various ways. Many studies have emphasized that the use of religion as a coping mechanism can be an effective factor in improving mental health. Therefore, this study examines the cross-sectional relationship between religious attitude, mindfulness, and Covid-19 fear besides the Covid-19 anxiety levels that individuals are exposed to and evaluates the mediating role of religiosity in this relationship. A survey of 440 participants with most were female (80.2%) and single (68.2%) were obtained online by random sampling. The demographic results indicated that women exhibited a higher level of Covid-19 fear compared to men, showing a significant difference. In religious attitude and mindfulness scores, there was no significant difference observed by gender. The correlational analysis demonstrated that a higher fear of Covid-19 was significantly linked to lower levels of mindfulness and religious attitude, but it did not show any significant association with religious coping. The mediational analysis indicated that religious attitude acts as a partial mediator in the association between trait mindfulness and fear of Covid-19, implying that the impact of mindfulness on fear of Covid-19 was explained by the influence of religious attitude. While limitations of the study design exist, the findings suggest that belief-based behaviors may play an active role in mental health management during crises, and strategies that promote religious attitudes and mindfulness during times of life crises requires further investigations.
