Q) Are bacterias, viruses and other micro organisms Jinns? (Ref. to Haditg below.)
[عن أبي موسى الأشعري:](عن النبي ﷺ) -فَناءُ أُمَّتي بالطَّعنِ والطّاعونِ. فقيل: يا رسولَ اللهِ، هذا الطَّعنُ قد عرَفْناه، فما الطّاعونُ؟ قال: وَخْزُ أعدائِكم منَ الجِنِّ، وفي كلٍّ شَهادَةٌ

Abu Moosa Al-Ash‘ari, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, “The end of my Ummah would come through stabbing and Taa‘oon.” They said, “O messenger of Allah! We know stabbing, but what is the Taa‘oon?” He said, “Taa‘oon is the piercing of your enemies from among the Jinn, and, for you, both of them are martyrdom.” [Ahmad]
* This means that Tawoon(plague) is from the evil effects of the Shayateen (evil Jinns). This only refers to Tawoon(plague) and not any other Waba (contagious disease).
* There is no proof in this Hadith to say that other microbes like viruses and bacteria etc are Jinns.
* Coronavirus is not ‘Plague’, it is a type of contagion (Waba). Plague is also a type of Waba, but it can’t be compared to Corona.
