The Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) is an epidemic that has dramatically moved health, politics, economics and health worldwide. This aftermath is still prevalent in Malaysia, especially in the post-pandemic phase of COVID-19. From a national standpoint, the leaders of each country are sedulous to deal with the issues and implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, this study aspired to discuss the concept of obedience to leaders in dealing with COVID-19. This analysis employed a descriptive qualitative method, which is a literature review. The conclusions confirmed that compliance with the leader's instructions during an epidemic is paramount to help the government contain the spread of the disease so that it does not spread and hurt religious affairs, lives and the economy. Besides, it is essential to remember that the leaders decided on specific measures following the advice of international and local health authorities, who are experts and authoritative about public health.
