The recently concluded Al-Nuur Community Immersion initiative of NSTP-CWTS Section 26 focused on four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, one of which is SDG 13: Climate Action.

Al-Nuur became a ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐›๐จ๐ฅ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐œ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž. It represent light overcoming darkness, turning ignorance into knowledge, environmental challenges into opportunities, and uncertainty into hope and serving as a guiding example for the whole community. Also, Al-Nuur revealed the real impacts of climate change observed in the field, such as shifting weather patterns and affected livelihoods, while encouraging education, resilience, and collective action.

As a step toward this goal, NSTP-CWTS Section 26 designed the immersion program as a community-centered initiative to encourage students to participate, learn from the activity, and gain support. The volunteers facilitated learning sessions aimed to engage students to understand and learn more about climate actions and they also create a space for the students to freely participate, ask questions, and interacts with others.

As part of the initiative to attract the attention of all students, ๐–๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž ๐–๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ: ๐€ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž, was introduced as a big and more important part lesson on the activity. In doing so, the learners were expected to turn waste management topic into an interesting and engaging adventure. In this case, the participants were made to play the role of โ€œ๐–๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž ๐–๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ,โ€ and thus, they were expected to learn how to segregate trash correctly, understand the different waste categories, and appreciate the significance of proper waste disposal in environmental protection. They were educated about the difference between ๐‘๐ž๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž, ๐‘๐ž๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ž, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‘๐ž๐œ๐ฒ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž. To be added, the students were shown that proper segregation alone could be used to help protect the environment by cutting down pollution levels and preserving natural resources in relation to climate change action.

For the volunteer of NSTP-CWTS Section 26, the immersion is not just an activity but a chance to spread and share knowledge to people about the proper segregation.

โ€œVolunteerism helps spread proper waste segregation by educating communities, reducing pollution, and encouraging people to develop responsible environmental habits. It creates awareness that proper waste disposal can protect health, conserve resources, and keep surroundings clean. Through volunteer efforts, more students and citizens become active in building a sustainable and eco-friendly community.โ€

โ€œAs a volunteer, I would teach students proper waste segregation by showing them how to separate biodegradable, recyclable, and non-biodegradable waste using clear examples. I would also encourage them to practice it daily in school and at home. Simple guidance and consistent practice can help students develop good waste management habits.โ€

Beyond games and discussions, AL-NUUR became a reminder that ๐œ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐›๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ ๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ๐ ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐š ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ข๐ง๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž.

Halal Awareness is more than understanding what is permissibleโ€”it is about promoting purity, responsibility, discipline, and conscious living according to Islamic teachings. Through education and awareness, we aim to inspire communities to choose what is lawful, beneficial, and good in every aspect of life. ๐Ÿ’šโœจ

This initiative encourages everyone to deepen their understanding of Halal practices, strengthen faith, and build a community guided by knowledge, respect, and unity. Together, let us spread awareness and create a more informed and responsible society. ๐Ÿ•Œ

๐Ÿ“– โ€œEat of what is lawful and good on the earth.โ€ โ€” Surah Al-Baqarah 2:168
