WEEK 5- SEJAHTERA (TO BE GRADED)

 UNGS 1201 WEEK 5 (TO BE GRADED)

SEJAHTERA AS LOCAL CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

    Sejahtera concept really caught my attention on how it could fit a wide and deeper meaning than what I knew before. As a muslim, anything we do and any goals we dream of, could never be far from the Islamic path as our main goal in this world is to get Allah's blessings. Tawheed will always be within anything we do in our life and Sejahtera concept involves this. In the Basic Philosophy class I took, we discussed on how our faith can be rated on what level we are in Islam. Are we a Muslim, Mu'min or Muhsin? It all depends on us. Have we ever give some benefit to our society or we just consume and never give? These questions play in my mind if whatever I did before is really beneficial for others and match the goal of Maqasid Ash- Shariah ( enhance welfare and prevent harm). So, I tried to take a look on my responsibility as Head of  Student Affair for Communication Students in Secretariat of Communication Student, if I ever be beneficial for them. From the platforms my bureau provided, some students declare that it is easier for them to get information specifically from Communication Department. These feedbacks really made me feel like want to do more for them where not only beneficial for them but also myself.

WEEK 8- CHALLENGES TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

 UNGS 1201 WEEK 8 CHALLENGES TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT     Easy to be said but not to be done. Everything has their own challenges to be faced before we succeed. Same goes to the SDGs either economically, environmentally or within society. For the economy part, I personally think that not everything should be relied on the government to do for me. So, I started to apply the concept of reusing products not only at home but also outside such as workplace. In my opinion it should start from the littlest thing we do in our daily. For instance, reusing soap bottle as flower pot not only reducing the amount of trash to be recycled that require costs but also good for environment by reducing plastic wastes. I apply this at home and also at the school I'm teaching. The more I look into the benefit of 3R ( reuse, reduce, recycle), the more I am fascinated by imagining how beautiful the world could be if everyone start to do these.

WEEK 3- ISLAM AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (TO BE GRADED)

UNGS 1201 WEEK 3 ( TO BE GRADED) ISLAM & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT     Sustainability is not a new concept in Islam. But, how ignorance we are to not really realize about this? Al- Qur'an and Hadith already stated so much regarding the concept of sustainability. In previous class, I got to know how actually sustainable development concepts can be apply from the slightest of our daily routines as a Muslim. Islam focused on 3 points of sustainability for society, environment and also economy. From my previous notes, I have pointed a lot on togetherness where Islam already told us the concepts by strengthening brotherhood between us and being in a team to work for each others benefit with the concept of shura as everyone have different minds and leaded by someone who can bring everyone towards one goal ( caliphs). For environmental sustainability, I got to preview how much waste I made all my life from just letting the water runs from the faucet every time I take ablution ( wud...

WEEK 7- ROLES OF UNIVERSITIES ON SD

UNGS 1201 WEEK 7 ROLES OF UNIVERSITIES ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT      Focusing on sustainable development as a subject to be learned in university is a good step taken. In this institution, the goals are even involve in the visions and missions. It is a bit upsetting that I cannot feel this surrounding fully due to the pandemic but IIUM always prepared the best for the students. As what I can see in student organizations, sustainable developing are still be worked on. For instance, as the secretariat of Communication students myself, we provide as useful platform as possible for the students in need and others. Those who may be having financial problems could be assisted and helped through the platform we provided. I can confirm that this way helped many students from the responses we got when we spread some news and info.
