Sociology of Coronavirus Theology: Religious Challenges and the Final Output

Emotions play a valuable role in the activities and shaping the living of individuals and families. Religious feelings during illnesses such as the Covid 19 pandemic help people to cope better with disease by creating positive attitudes. This study aims to use a qualitative approach and descriptive phenomenology to understand the religious and emotional life experiences of families to adjust to the Coronavirus crisis in the context of Sistan and Baluchestan province. In this study, 40 males and females were interviewed using in-depth interviews and purposive sampling. The criterion determining the sample size was to reach the theoretical saturation. Using Colaizzi's method of analysis, data were classified into eight sub-themes and 45 primary themes. The core theme of the emotional transcendence of the family regarding the divine source consists of five sub-themes: “facilitating family life with the power of divine faith in Coronavirus conditions, Divine support for eliminating the fear of death in corona conditions, religious family and improving the family mood, positive religious feelings in the family, and Divine assistance in transition from corona danger”. The final core theme  indicates that the construction of dimensions of the transcendence of religious feeling, the pattern of religious feeling regulation, emotional connection with the divine source, and religious feelings, in general, are the reasons for the adjustment of families in Sistan and Baluchestan during the Coronapandemic.
