Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has severely impacted the world, remaining a pandemic over the three years from 2019 to 2022 with fluctuating cases and no definitive treatment. Preventive measures, including vaccination, are crucial but not entirely protective, highlighting the importance of effective public health emergency strategies. The 'new normal' concept has been controversial, particularly in the early phase of the pandemic and during the uncontrolled spread of the virus. The Prophet Muhammad, a role model for Muslims, advocated for the models of prevention in managing the plague at that time. This study aims to identify effective preventive strategies, including the Prophet's isolation-quarantine models for early implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, and to propose a model for managing future pandemics. A mixed-method approach was used, with quantitative data from the COVID-19 National Database, and reference to the policies of the Indonesian Government and the Regional Government of Daerah Khusus Ibukota (DKI) Jakarta. Qualitative data were gathered through a literature review. Significant case fluctuations occurred during the periods June-August 2021 and January-March 2022, with rising new cases and death rates. These were driven by regulatory relaxations and the premature 'new normal' implementation. Based on the findings and analysis, the isolation and quarantine model taught by the Prophet Muhammad remains relevant fo application during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The concept taught by the Prophet is most effective during the early onset of a pandemic and in uncontrolled situations. The researcher proposes an anticipatory learning model to manage future pandemics effectively. This model strengthens public health emergency strategies by enhancing early intervention and preparedness
