I don't have a syringe
Buy one at the drugstore if you can, if not, administer with a small kitchen funnel, dropper, a straw, or a hollowed out, cleaned cheap plastic pen. remove all of the internal pen parts and it can be used to suck ou with the "straw" by dipping it in the solution and using your thump to create a seal.

My mum has a syringe but it has a needle on it, I will just asked her to remove it for me plus there is no charcoal here in my province, should I try ordering online?

I just discovered from my grandma that it was actually charcoal no coal (made my burning coconut) and it is activated charcoal

I didn't gave him charcoal slurry since I don't know how plus we don't have the right ingredients. I just applied water with charcoal if that's okay but I did search in Google if I can feed it with activated charcoal mixed with water and it said that it is safe. He still has his appittite but he lost some of it, maybe because of the charcoal's taste he is doing a loaf/sphinx position right now (he does those a lot), feeding him charcoal may have stressed him since he moved a lot while I was force feeding him. I'm glad that he was willing to drink from the syringe after I force feed him 1/4 of the amount, the rest was drained by him he was cute when doing it too (aaaww his cute little mouth) but I'm still worried.

How is he doing now? The first few hours can be critical. Is he still eating, pooping normally, and acting fine? Even the slightest change in behavior may signal that something is wrong.
Are you sure there is no veterinary office by you? Where do you take your bunny for check-ups? Do you have a place that you’d take him if he broke something or did something else very extreme? This is an emergency on the same level as that so it’s ok to go to even the most emergency specialized vets.
Also, while a veterinary office as a whole may not be rabbit savvy, that doesn’t mean that none of the vets that work there are. Most vet schools (for example, MSU) train their vets to work with all animals, so even dog/cat vets should have bunny knowledge, though of course small pet vets are always best. If you honestly don’t seem to have an obvious vet by you, I’d make a list of all of the vets within an hours drive of you and call them one by one asking if they have ANYONE who sees rabbits. This is a very serious issue. Hopefully it resolves itself, but at least by looking you’ll have a vet for any other issues that pop up. This is why it’s important to have a rabbit savvy vet on hand. You never know what’s going to happen to our little furry friends, and it’s best to be prepared in any way we can.
I wish you the best of luck and please keep us updated!

Their is a college near by which practices veterinary but I'm not allowed to go their because of my age it is more like 30m - 1h ride their and I'm sure that there is no other vets that is in my province because the clinic and the college is in a place called UEP (a place where many students in our province go to college like nursing, law, and veterinary)

He is doing well, he is pooping fine, the poop was normal, he is in his playpen so he can be safe from the poison, and his appetite is back. I'll check on him tomorrow, my timeline is 8:16 PM right now. I hope he will feel better.

I checked on him again just in case and he is acting normal, he is still eating (as usual), and I checked his poop it is a little bit green(he just started eating hay) and it's easy to brake but should I continue giving him charcoal?
You're not allowed to go there to seek advice from those local vets? What nonsense is that? I'm sure that no institution, especially a public one like the college, has some kind of age restriction on how old you need to be in order to go in and ask around or give them a call. It isn't some kind of gambling hall or alco bar, you know. And if your parents arent't willing to drive for your bunny to get to a vet then perhaps a pet isn't the right choice in your current situation.

It's because of the global pandemic, my mum won't allow me to come out. I think he is fine now his appetite is back his poop is still normal this morning, he binkeyed a lot this morning and did some zoomies when I let him roam the area where his cage is (not the room where the poison is) i'm so happy that he is acting normal now, I think it's because of the charcoal but I'm still worried about him. I'm happy that he seemed fine now,

I would like to thank everyone who helped me in saving my bunny,
he is now fine and he is acting like his normal self
(energetic in the morning and lazy at the rest of the day) he binkyed a lot this morning and did some zoomies. 
thank you very much I appreciate your help

You were very lucky here

Yes I should've just put the poison in high place first when my bunny accidentally goes to the room again but this happened multiple times now because my grandma always forgets to close the door but when that happens, I always put the poison on high places so he won't see it but this time, I forgot to put it in high place. But I will make sure for this to not happen again
