This study is an attempt to explain the significance role of spiritual intelligence during the complexities and uncertainties, particularly due to the tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic. Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to behave with insight and humility while preserving inner and outer harmony irrespective of the circumstances. Not only does one with a high spiritual intellect respond appropriately in a particular circumstance or state, but it also analyzes how he or she is in that position. This study also aims to understand how the COVID-10 pandemic could lead someone to adjust, embrace and change life and turn the tragedy into a time of resilience, strength, knowledge and a new environment of mutual and communal living, sharing responsibilities and appreciating solidarity.
