Özet

Bu çalışmada, koronavirüs pandemisinin dindar insanların dini anlayış ve yaşamları üzerindeki etkilerinin tespit ve tasvir edilmesi amaçlamıştır. Çalışma toplumunun dini değerleri önceleyen eğitimli kesim üzerinde, nicel araştırma teknikleriyle tanımlayıcı bir çalışma olarak yapılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak bu çalışmanın yazarları tarafından geliştirilen “Koronavirüs Pandemisinin Dini Anlayış ve Yaşam Üzerine Etkisi Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin keşfedici faktör analiziyle geçerliği analiz edilmiş ve yüksek düzeyde güvenilir bulunmuştur. Araştırma örneklemindeki katılımcıların %58,8’i düzenli namaz kılmakta; %95,2’si Ramazan ayı orucunu tutmakta; %81,9’u orijinal metninden Kur’an okumakta ve %90,3’ü düzenli dua etmektedir. Kendisini dindar olarak algılayan bu insanların %72,5’i koronavirüs pandemisi gibi afetlerin Allah’ın hatırlatması ve işareti olduğunu ve %90,8’i ise bu tür afetlerle mücadelenin ibadet, tövbe ve dua gibi manevi önlemlerle desteklenmesi gerektiğini düşünmektedir. Sonuç olarak, pandemi dindar insanlara kendi dini anlayış, inanç ve ibadetleri üzerine tekrar düşünmek, nefis muhasebesi yapmak, inancını güçlendirmek, ibadetlerine özen göstermek, kul hakkı, sosyal sorumluluk ve bir arada yaşama bilincini geliştirmek fırsatı vermiştir.
