The article starts from the experience of living with Islam-Christians in the North Maluku province of Indonesia in
facing the threat of the spread of the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This religious community, which
had a conflict in 1999, has a different way of dealing with the spread of COVID-19 with other regions in Indonesia,
both regarding the views of positive Covid-19 patients who care for sin and reward, Islamophobia, and physical
worship. continues in buildings of worship during the pandemic. These incidents occurred in the North Maluku
province of Indonesia as a border area with a distinctive social, cultural and political context, so the field tracing
used was a case study. This is in line with the empirical reality of the spread of COVID-19 which is still ongoing, so
research was conducted intensively participatory in the Muslim-Christian community in North Maluku province. In
the process of investigating data, informatory are needed, but the question of how the Muslim-Christian community
in North Maluku continues to care for life together amid the COVID-19 pandemic is the main question of this
research. Of course, many research articles on COVID-19 have been published, but there has not been a single
study on Islamic-Christian relations during the pandemic, let alone a case study of the Muslim-Christian
community, which once fought to the point of casualties and is now facing non-natural disasters. The answers to the
main research questions will be a contribution of thought for anyone who has the desire to care for their community
that supports each other. So that a case study of the Muslim-Christian community who has been in conflict and
inhabits the coast of eastern Indonesia and is now facing the threat of COVID-19 is an important agenda and
closeness. The value premise of this study is to learn the pattern of relations in the community after the riot between
Muslims and Christians and religious communities, this non-natural disaster along the spread of COVID-19. As far
as the author's knowledge, this study is the latest study on the Muslim-Christian community in North Maluku in the
face of COVID-19. These two communities are able to get through difficult times of horizontal conflict, this study
will study how the two religious communities can face the challenges of COVID-19 and become a strong generation
after all of this has passed.
