The Effect Of Covid-19 Pandemic On Religion

Abstract

This study aims to identify and define the effect of coronavirus pandemic on religious people’s perspectives and practices. This descriptive study used quantitative research techniques to examine the educated people of working class and their prioritized religious values. Data were collected using “The Scale of Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Religious Perspectives and Practices” which was developed by the authors of this study. The validity of the scale was tested using exploratory factor analysis and it was found to be highly reliable. 58,8% of the participants declared they have regularly performed salaat, 95,2% declared they have fasted during Ramadan; 81,9% declared that they have read Quran from its original manuscript and 90,3% declared they have prayed regularly. 72,5% of these religious people think the calamity such as the coronavirus pandemic is a sign and a reminder from Allah and 90,8% think that the fight against calamities should be supported by spiritual measures such as worship, penitence and prayer. In conclusion, the pandemic allowed religious people to contemplate their religious perspectives, faith and worship again and provided the opportunity to make self-evaluation, to strengthen their faith, pay attention to worship and raise awareness of human rights, social responsibility and coexistence.
