With the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, diabetes management has become more challenging than it has ever been. Studies on the management of diabetes during this time are required. Unfortunately, the lack of information on the potential role of religious factors and faith communities in diabetes management during the COVID-19 era prevents us from fully understanding the issue of diabetes management during the COVID-19 pandemic period. People with chronic conditions such as diabetes may benefit from some form of religious support from faith communities and their ability to cope could be fostered by some religious factors. It is unclear how religious factors and faith communities contribute to diabetes management. In this article, the authors examine how people with diabetes can be aided in the COVID-19 pandemic period from the perspective of religious factors and faith communities. Based on the studies identified, it appears that religious factors and faith communities play an important role in managing diabetes among patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…This manifests in terms of how religious persons go to church or Mosque to put before a deity their various material needs and wants. As Larbi (2001) and Davies and Thate (2017) put it, the goal of such religious adherents is to gain favours from the supernatural. Blessings of this divine power are at times measured in terms of the material possessions of those who hold such beliefs.…”

In the field of penology, very few studies have paid attention to the role of religion in prison. The sparse scholarly studies are largely focused on the advanced countries, and rarely on prisons in Africa. In addition, the findings on the impact of religion on inmates have yielded mixed results. This study examined the role of religion as a facet of inmates’ social relationships. It is argued that the decision of inmates to participate in religious activities is not necessarily for redemption but for materialism. The study settled on a mixed method approach to data collection. The data revealed that inmates who participated in religious activities did so purposely for the material benefits associated with the practice of religion. Religion provided inmates the context for contemplating their lives and mortality. The study concludes that religious beliefs and practices; regardless of how it comes to be experienced within the confines of the prison, are powerful forces that influence the conduct of prisoners, prison officials and civil society organisations.

“…Architecture illustration must create a particular vision of the religious ideal: a way of being in the world that believers aspire to and foster a sense of identity and belonging in the present (Davies & Thate, 2017). The architecture of shared space needs to be considered to encourage the placement of multi-faith social areas within mosque setback.…”

The research aim to outline the design strategy for a mosque as a third space that promotes of an inclusive communal neighbourhood. The research employs a case study methodology through observation and interview. Considering the scale intimacy, ease of preview, minimalist and adaptive building, ambient, and impermanence landscaping while designing a mosque for community life are essential to establish unity via inclusion in mosque architecture.
