Human life is not only limited to eating, drinking, and sleeping, but as its function is referred to in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 30. In this verse, humans are referred to as khalifatullah fil ardh, which means that humans are given a mandate by Allah to manage the earth properly. Meaning that humans have the responsibility to preserve the environment and not damage it. This includes the protection of forests, seas, air, and all ecosystems on this earth.
In the midst of the climate crisis that is increasingly evident in its impact, humans cannot remain silent and must have a role in caring for this earth from all damage. The concept of almsgiving energy from MOSAIC (Muslims for Shared Action on Climate Impact) is a concrete form of human concern for this universe. The concept of almsgiving has expanded its meaning. Not only sharing sustenance with others, but also contributing to the sustainability of the earth. The Sedekah Energi program presented by MOSAIC Indonesia invites Muslims to donate through renewable energy to mosques so that worship becomes environmentally friendly.
Through its official website, www.sedekahenergi.mosaic-indonesia.com, MOSAIC provides complete information for individuals who want to contribute to mosque management using solar panels as part of a real solution for environmentally friendly mosque management. The site provides several features, guides, the latest news, and various initiatives related to Sedekah Energi.
In addition, this website has a display that makes it easy for visitors to access the information available. One of the main features provided is the Knowledge Hub, which contains various categories of knowledge related to renewable energy, namely:
- Basic Knowledge Renewable Energy-this feature contains the basics about renewable energy, the benefits of its use, and the forms of implementation that can be done in everyday life.
- Offline Campaign Guidelines-this feature provides services for individuals or communities who hold offline campaigns related to Sedekah Energi, such as socialization activities or installing solar panels.
- Digital Campaign Guidelines-this section also provides guidelines and strategies for conducting digital campaigns to spread awareness about the importance of the clean energy transition.
The website also provides the Sedekah Energi Quiz feature, which allows users to test their understanding of renewable energy. There is also a feature that provides an FAQ service where individuals can share questions about Sedekah Energi, from how to contribute to the long-term benefits for the mosque and the environment.
Switching to renewable energy provides various benefits and positive impacts in terms of the environment; this energy can be a solution and reduce negative impacts such as global warming currently experienced by all human beings on this earth. In addition, the operational cost of using renewable energy is also more cost-effective in the long run. After the installation process, technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines require very low operational costs and can even reduce or eliminate electricity bills. Renewable energy can also increase energy independence in a society that always needs energy; this allows people to produce their own energy, for example, by installing solar panels at home.
Enter Nusantara & Umat untuk Semesta also continues to raise the awareness of the Muslim community on the issue of climate change by presenting information related to the climate crisis and its solutions in a relevant manner within the framework of Islamic values.
The initiative also aims to inspire community action by facilitating discussions and campaigns that encourage Muslim individuals and groups to take concrete steps, such as supporting renewable energy and environmental conservation.
Umat untuk Semesta aims to mobilize the collective voice of the Muslim Community to unite in voicing solutions and pushing for policies that favor environmental preservation.
