To understand the situation around the world in 2020 we as muslims must research and verify information ourselves (as our Prophet advised) look at the different narratives and always ask for clear evidence (that you can make sense of) do not accept a single narrative as the ultimate truth, we live in a world of deception (this is a fact) so blind acceptance from the mainstream is not a good idea, ask Allah (swt) to guide your understanding, and rely on Allah alone!
The believer does not need to panic or fear! We know where we came from, where we are going and our purpose here... So follow your religion sincerely In sha Allah and all worries shall vanish.
