The world faces a mounting waste problem that poses significant environmental and economic challenges. In recent years, the concept of a circular economy has gained prominence as a potential solution to this issue. A circular economy aims to minimize waste generation by keeping resources in use for as long as possible, maximizing their value and reducing environmental impact. Firstly, the circular economy emphasizes resource efficiency and waste minimization as core principles. By adopting strategies such as recycling, reusing, and remanufacturing, the circular economy reduces the reliance on finite resources and minimizes the amount of waste generated. For instance, companies like Patagonia and Interface have implemented take-back programs, allowing customers to return products for recycling or refurbishment, thereby reducing waste and extending the lifespan of materials. Next, in a circular economy, the focus shifts from a linear "take-make-dispose" model to one that promot

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him." Young people hold the potential to shape the future, not only for themselves but also for their communities and the environment. Education plays a crucial role in equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to lead meaningful lives. Universities, as key institutions of higher learning, have a unique responsibility to ensure that young people learn positive, constructive, and helpful principles.  Firstly, universities can design curricula that emphasize holistic learn
