The pandemic of deadly diseases has challenged the world’s management system on a large scale. Severe uncertainty ensued about adaptation to the pandemic, resulting in more lives not being saved. But the literature on adaptation and quantification strategies is still limited. This study is qualitative, by analyzing the literature to find out the Islamic approach to facing pandemics. Our study generalizes Islamic strategies in dealing with pandemics of deadly diseases before, during, and after pandemics. This study found that the Islamic strategy of dealing with a deadly disease pandemic is by staying away from acts of immorality, a well-established spiritual preparation. In addition, strict enforcement action of soup to the community during a pandemic to make sure the spread of the epidemic can be controlled. Islam offers a combined approach of spiritual, physical, emotional, and intellectual care in the face of a pandemic of deadly diseases. We propose pandemic-related guidelines in a holistic form for future research.
