Abstract

The global educational scenario has undergone a major transformation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to substantial conflict and disturbances in the process of imparting and acquiring knowledge. The scarcity of studies on Muslim academia’s coping mechanisms amidst the COVID-19 outbreak highlights the necessity to investigate their distinct encounters.  Drawing on existing literature, this narrative review explores the Islamic-based coping strategies they employed. Educators, mental health practitioners, and other stakeholders may acknowledge the significance of these coping strategies and integrate them into mental health and educational programmes to aid the Muslim academia and alike amidst the pandemic and beyond.
