Abstract
The current market-driven international system of affairs is neither health- friendly nor conducive of holistic peace. It commercializes not only the human needs but also the human susceptibilities. COVID-19 pandemic is only one of several big killers caused by viruses in the last 100-120 years; the others being Swine Flu, HIV/AIDS, HPV, Rabies and Hepatitis B. The factors responsible for these include, among others, sexual malpractices, alcohol, drugs, and consumption of wild animals like penguins, snakes, and bats. Obviously, these and other harmful practices have been prohibited in Islam. But each one of them is a big business today.
