Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of religious lecture at the time of the Covid-19 Pandemic, as a very sensitive and challenging phase for religious leaders and for all of humanity on many levels. In this paper it is concluded that religious leaders are relevant factors in the societies where they operate, in particular their key function in connecting the community with society, orienting the community in the right lines of forming an opinion on various phenomena and events, correcting erroneous views and doctrines, and in all this, the religious lecture of the imams, takes precedence. This paper explains that the emphasis of the imams in communicating with the congregation was placed in the way of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, in the way of dealing with its social, psychological, economic consequences, respecting the measures provided by the competent authorities. In this paper it is concluded that the lecture of imams in pandemic times, is characterized by these most important features: educational, motivation, theological pragmatism which was distinguished by two important standards: anti-fatalism and strong faith, social character which is focused on the importance of family relationships in Islam, the moral punishment of severing family ties, and the need for closer communication with the family.
