First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Seeking Science

Vienna has driven several kilometers from its home to a large and beautiful local mosque. His vehicle stopped in front of the magnificent gate of the mosque, and he felt his heart pounding as he stepped out of his car. That day, Vienna decided to seek deeper meaning in her life, and the mosque was her first place she wanted to visit.

The mosque gate is made of beautiful wood with intricate carvings. Vienna felt like it had entered into a different world the moment she stepped in. The interior of the mosque is spacious and beautiful, with beautiful Islamic art ornaments on its walls. The soft morning sun enters through the tall windows and gives a warm touch to the quiet environment.

Vienna walked slowly towards the fine wooden floor. He felt as if his every step was blessed by an atmosphere full of tranquility. The sound of Quranic verses infused with melodious sounds filled the room, creating a sense of wonder in Vienna's heart. He saw some people sitting in prayer mats, contemplating and praying solemnly. Viennese heart trembled, not feeling tears melt on his cheeks.

As Vienna walked deeper into the mosque, she saw an old man sitting in one corner of the room. The man was wearing traditional Islamic clothing and looked deeply into his prayers. He had a long white beard, and his eyes shone with deep wisdom.

Vienna tried not to interfere, but the man felt the presence of Vienna and looked at it kindly. He smiled as he nodded to Vienna, inviting her to sit next to him. Vienna carefully sat on the prayer mat next to the man.

The man smiled gently and asked, "Is this your first visit to this mosque, son?"

Vienna nodded slowly, "Yes, sir. I feel the need to find a deeper meaning in my life."

The man replied in an empathetic voice, "That's a noble move, son. A mosque is a good place to start your journey. I am Ustadz Ibrahim, and I often come here to worship and teach."

Vienna is grateful to have met Ustadz Ibrahim. He was comfortable with the presence and aura of wisdom he possessed. Vienna also spoke more about her mixed feelings and doubts in her life.

Ustadz Ibrahim listened attentively and then said, "Son, there is nothing wrong with feeling confused about the meaning of life. For many, the spiritual journey begins at the same point as you are now. We are all looking for answers to the deep questions in our lives."

Vienna began to feel more relaxed and open when he spoke to Ustadz Ibrahim. They discussed the teachings of Islam, its values, and its true meaning in life. Ustadz Ibrahim shares inspirational stories about the spiritual journey of others he has met at this mosque.

While they were talking, several other worshippers also joined in their conversation. They shared their stories about their own spiritual journey and shared valuable teachings with Vienna. The atmosphere in the mosque was full of warmth and brotherhood.

When the time of Dhuhur arrived, Ustadz Ibrahim invited Vienna to pray together with them. Vienna followed with a heart filled with gratitude. While prostrating, he felt like he was experiencing a moment of God's deep presence, like talking directly to Him.

After the prayer was over, Ustadz Ibrahim invited Vienna to come again to the mosque for religious classes held every week. He provided religious books that could help Vienna in his quest for knowledge. Vienna was very inspired and promised to return.

Leaving the mosque, Vienna felt a change in him. He felt there was a long-lost calmness in him, and he knew that he had found a truly special place. With a cautious step, he stepped out of the mosque, ready to embark on a new spiritual journey in his life.

The mosque was calm as he entered, with a fragrant aroma of fragrant oils and a warm aroma of wood. Vienna steps into the classroom, which is in one corner of the mosque. Other students were already sitting in neatly arranged chairs, with their religious books open on the table.

Vienna chose a seat in the back row, trying not to be conspicuous. He felt that all eyes were on him as he sat down, but he tried to keep his confidence in himself. The atmosphere of the class was relaxed, and he saw a number of people from various backgrounds being there.

Their teacher was an experienced ustadz, Ustadz Amir. He had an inviting warm smile, and wise-looking gray hair. Ustadz Amir started the lesson with a friendly welcome.

"Welcome to our religious class today" Ustadz Amir said. "We're excited to see new faces here, and I hope we can learn together over the next few weeks."

Vienna feels more relaxed when it sees that the atmosphere in class is very pleasant. Ustadz Amir began by introducing the fundamentals of Islam, including the principles of faith, worship, and ethics.

He describes the six pillars of faith, which include belief in God, His angels, His books, His apostles, the day of the Resurrection, and His destiny. Vienna listened attentively, taking notes in her religious books.

When Ustadz Amir spoke about worship, he explained the importance of prayer as one of the main obligations of Muslims. He explains how prayer is a way to communicate with God and strengthen the relationship with Him. The gestures and facial features of Ustadz Amir reflect the tenderness and distinctiveness when he talks about prayer.

Vienna was intrigued when Ustadz Amir explained the stages of prayer, such as takbir, ruku', kudu, and tahiyat. He felt that prayer was not just a series of physical movements, but also a form of deep spiritual worship.

Questions from other students began to emerge, and Ustadz Amir patiently answered each question wisely. Vienna felt inspired by the curiosity and passion of learning from her friends.

After the lesson was completed, Ustadz Amir invited students to practice prayer. They entered the prayer hall located inside the mosque. The atmosphere in the worship room was very quiet, with prayer rugs neatly lying on the floor.

Ustadz Amir guides them through each step of prayer, making sure they understand how to do it right. Body movements accompanied by prayer sentences sounded melodious in the room. Vienna tried to follow closely, although it sometimes felt stiff.

As time went on, he began to feel more comfortable with the movements. He felt that prayer was a form of deep communication with God, as he learned from Ustadz Amir.

When the prayer was over, Vienna felt a tremendous peace in her heart. He felt that he had discovered something very precious in his spiritual journey. In a beautiful sunset, he leaves the mosque with a stronger belief that a change in his life is something he sincerely seeks.
