Abstract
Since Covid-19 pandemic occurred, the government and authorities in Indonesia have restricted almost all community activities in Indonesia, including various activities in houses of worship having an impact on the socio-economic vulnerability of Muslims. This study was to describe the phenomenon of the condition of Muslims affected by the pandemic, by providing a Muslim perspective as well as explaining how Islam responds to the epidemic phenomenon, restriction policies, and socio-economics. This study applied a literature study with a qualitative approach to obtain descriptive and qualitative analytical data. The data were collected through reviewing literature and data about the current situation of Covid -19 pandemic and the ongoing dynamics of Muslim people. This study was a literature study collaborating between Islamic perspectives with contemporary phenomena and theories so that they contributed to strengthening the argument that Islam and its experiences were still very relevant to today's conditions. The result showed that: first, Islam provided jabariyah and qadariyah perspectives for Muslims in responding to the pandemic phenomenon; second, Islam provided relevant perspectives in policy formulation during the pandemic, and; third, Islam emphasized that Maqasid Asy-Sharia was a strategy and concept in overcoming the economic vulnerability of the community during and after the pandemic.

Summary
Belum ada ahli yang secara akurat menyatakan secara pasti kapan berakhirnya pandemi COVID-19 di dunia. Pandemi wabah COVID-19 hari ini telah berdampak signifikan pada hampir seluruh aspek kehidupan dan memberikan perubahan, termasuk dalam aktivitas keagamaan umat muslim di dunia. Hal tersebut bukan hanya karena pandemi COVID-19, tapi juga karena adanya anjuran dari pemerintah dan pihak otoritas untuk melakukan ibadah di rumah masing-masing. Meskipun di beberapa lapisan masyarakat masih terdapat aktivitas peribadatan secara kolektif berjamaah, namun adanya perubahan tersebut telah terjadi hari ini dan berpotensi berlangsung hingga masa yang akan datang (Bentzen, 2021). Terhitung sejak bulan Maret 2020 sejak pihak otoritas menyatakan bahwa pandemi COVID-19 sebagai bencana nasional, pembatasan di rumah-rumah ibadah berlangsung dengan dikoordinir secara terpusat melalui Kementerian Agama Republik Indonesia. Semboyan “Bhineka Tunggal Ika” atau memiliki arti “unity in diversity” secara tidak langsung termanifestasi dalam kehidupan keagamaan umat muslim ketika melakukan ritual keagaaman di rumah-rumah ibadah. Letak heterogenitas umat muslim yakni pada keberagaman suku, asal daerah, warna kulit, dan latar belakang lainnya yang kemudian menyatu dalam satu rumah ibadah
