Description:
This five minute video shows part of a public sermon in Bengali language delivered by Mufti Kazi Ibrahim, a Muslim preacher. The sermon can be found on the YouTube channel of Mahfil TV, where it was posted on March 4, 2020. The preacher narrated the visionary dream of a Bangladeshi national residing in Italy, Mamun Maruf, who interviewed the virus. In this dream. The Coronavirus looked like a kadam flower and revealed that it had arrived on Earth on 13 October 2020 and that it had attacked China first. The preacher explained that this happened because Muslim devotees were being tortured in several parts of the planet, including Myanmar, Libia, and Syria, but in China they are subjected to uncomparable torture. He continues saying that Uighur Muslims in China have been enslaved and oppressed. Allah can hear all their screams and cries. That is why Allah has commanded the Corona-soldier to descend and attack.

A song composed by Arif Dewan, a folk singer and composer from Bangladesh. This new song is specifically about the coronavirus outbreak. It is titled Coronavirus came in the country (Deshe ailo corona bhairas) and the refrain says: “Stay at home, the pandemic has arrived in the country / my compassionate Prophet has announced / do not go out, Coronavirus has entered the country.” The singer sits in front of the harmonium and starts the video with a prayer, asking the almighty God to liberate humanity from this great danger. The composer says he does not often go on Facebook but today, being confined like a prisoner in his own house, he is posting this video for the love of humanity. The song says: Ailo deshe mohamari / thaiko jar jar nijer baari / amaar diner nobi korche ghosonaa / baaire jaaio naa, deshe elo bhairas Corona. / Manle dhormer anushason / nirapottai thaakbere jibon / Sristikoratai nibo shopoth nei bhabona. / pobitrota emaaner ango bidhir bidhaan koronaa bhongo / sot-maanuser koiraa songo koro pratthona. / Somaaje joto dhonobaan / taader proti roi aahobaan / gorib-duhkhir paashe daaraate hobe ekhona. / anaahaarike dile aahar / khushi thakben pak-poroar / manob sebai khushi robbana. Doyaal nobir pobitro bochon / bipode koro dhorjo dhaaron / tobe tomaar saai-niranjon kripaa-gune korbe maarjona / kede koi Arif Dewan / (dorodi) / rokkhaa koro maanob-baagaan / ebaar doyaal chaaraa keuto baachbe naa.

A song composed by Arif Dewan, a folk singer and composer from Bangladesh. This new song is specifically about the coronavirus outbreak. The song says: Khudarto manush jara kore ahoto / bibek-hin manush ora nei manushotvo / onahari manushgulo kore ahajari / mukher khabar kere niya e kon rajniti kori / oder nei adorsho nei niti / dekhe nijer swartho. “Humans whose actions hurt those who are hungry / inconsiderate people, these are not humans at all / they mock those who are starving / digging food out of their mouths / Which kind of political action is this? They have no values or morals / they act out of selfishness only.”
