Sustainable activities also don’t compromise the need of future generations.
The Industry Revolution 4.0 and Electricity Demand
The present era, Industry Revolution 4.0, demands advanced technology in conducting their activities. One of the demands consists of a high amount of electricity. Main of the electricity source comes from fossil fuel power plants, and the side effect derived to the environment has the possibility to increase global warming and many other environmental damages. Although, the latest technology has already applied the sustainable based power plant, on the other side of the word, mainly developing countries still use the fossil power plant.
It has been a few years since Indonesia has applied renewable energy-based sources to obtain electricity in certain rural areas. The initial of the act has been conducted so that the following acts must be started soon. By analyzing the demand for electricity in Indonesia and the consideration of its important value in life, the government should rapidly implement renewable energy-based electricity power plant in the remaining rural and remote areas.
Religion-based on Sustainable Energy
Modern people live in a rough world. Many of them battle their faith in their daily life which consists of many sectors. Once, the faith has been placed in our souls, it will be established until we disappear from this world. The act to maintain and campaign the act for spreading awareness on the applications of clean sustainable energy began a few years ago and still going. By observing it based on the religious subject, the human act of kindness has never been missed in religious teaching.
Some of people nowadays aim to live in a purposeful life. By connecting the main duty of human living in this world as an act of praying, the people tend to seek a religion or faith-based activity which is good and balanced for their religious activities and their well-being.

O sons of Adam, attire yourselves at every time of worship; eat and drink, but do not be wasteful, for Allah does not love the wasteful.”
(Quran 7:31)
The Quran sentence that people mustn’t waste on what they are consuming in this world. The usage of energy must be as efficient as it can be applied to support life. The efficient usage of energy has the vast impact on the environmental balanced.
“It is He who has made you successors on the earth and raised some of you in ranks above others, that He may try you in what He has given you. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.”
(Quran 6:165)
The other sentence commands the people to control the world. By considering clean energy in supplying electricity means that people already taking care of the world. The other acts is maintaining and creating sustainable activities which is harmless for the environment.
Another Quran Verse is 80 of Sura 36 of the Qur’an tells of a green tree out of which fire can be made. It was this sura that inspired Muhammad Djawis Masruri, the leader of the Islamic boarding school Amumarta, near Yogyakarta, to become involved in renewable energy production. Djawis recalled stories from his childhood about the fruits of the region’s nyamplung tree (Calophyllum inophyllum) used for lamp oil. People extracted oil from the fruit, poured it into small bamboo tubes then simply added a wick and lit it. It means that Quran commands people to study the surrounding environment and utilize it to obtain beneficial objects to support the people’s life.
The following paragraph doesn’t need to be written. Action speaks louder than words. As a human who possessed faith. Just do the good deed based on your faith and Happy Islamic New Year 1445 H. May God Bless You.
