First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Meetings with Sarah and Raj

Vienna arrives at its new campus in high spirits to begin a new chapter in its life. She knew that this college would be a place where she would go on her academic education journey, but she also hoped to find opportunities to deepen her religion and forge meaningful friendships.

One way to achieve this goal is to follow several study groups. Vienna has been aware of several study groups that focus on specific subjects that she is interested in. One of them was a study group on environmental science that he joined on Wednesday afternoon.

When he arrived at the study group room at his first meeting, he saw a group of students who had already gathered there. They all seemed excited, and Vienna knew that she would enjoy her time with them.

One of the students sitting in the corner of the room caught his attention. Sarah, a college student with long blonde hair and a friendly smile, seems to be one of the most passionate members. He seemed to be engrossed in talking to his friends about the topics they discussed.

Vienna decided to sit next to Sarah. As the meeting began, they were introduced to each other by the study group leader, and Vienna felt there was some sort of bond that was established between them from the very beginning.

As the study group began its discussion of environmental science, Vienna and Sarah engaged in a passionate conversation. They talked about the importance of preserving nature and protecting God's creation. Vienna also felt that she could speak openly about her religious beliefs without feeling judged.

At the end of the meeting, Sarah approached Vienna with a friendly smile. "It's nice to meet you, Vienna. You have a very interesting view of science and religion."

Vienna smiled back. "Together, Sarah. I'm so excited to be part of this study group and talk to excited friends."

The two of them then walked out of the room together, still engaged in a warm conversation about religion and science. In the midst of that conversation, they also shared stories about their spiritual journey and how they sought the deeper meaning of life.

While the sun slowly sinks in the western horizon, Vienna and Sarah felt that this meeting was the beginning of a meaningful friendship and that God had brought them together in this college for good reason.

After Vienna attended an environmental science study group meeting, she felt increasingly open to establishing relationships with various people on campus. One of the most impressive friendships was with Ahmad, a student who had a different religious background.

They first met in the campus library when Vienna was looking for books for her college assignments. Ahmad sat in one corner of the library while reading a book on religious philosophy. Vienna was interested and approached Ahmad politely.

"Sorry, can you tell me a good book on the philosophy of religion?" ask Vienna kindly.

Ahmad looked over and smiled. "Of course, I can help you with that. Are you interested in the topic of religion?"

Vienna nodded. "Yes, I'm very interested. I have my own religious beliefs, and I always try to understand more about other religions as well."

The conversation was the beginning of a great friendship between Vienna and Ahmad. They began to meet often in libraries to talk about religion and philosophy. Ahmad told about his religion, Islam, and how his teachings influenced his life. Vienna also shared about his faith in Islam and how it gave meaning to his life.

They also often discuss the differences between religions and try to find common ground in their religious teachings. Ahmad was very open to Vienna's views on Islam, and vice versa. They always respect their differences and learn from each other.

One of the most in-depth discussions between them took place in the campus garden on a sunny afternoon. They sit under shady trees, observing the natural beauty around them. Vienna started the conversation.

Ahmad nodded in agreement. "I totally agree, Vienna. Islam teaches us to respect all human beings and live a life of peace. I believe that we can learn a lot from different religions and build bridges between our understandings."

At the end of the conversation, Vienna felt that she was getting closer to Allah through friendship with Ahmad. They both felt that God had brought them together to respect and learn from each other.

Over time, Vienna and Ahmad became close friends and continued to discuss religion and share their views on the meaning of life. Their friendship was one of the precious parts of their college experience that inspired Vienna to go on its spiritual journey with boundless passion and curiosity.

On one of the brightest days on campus, Vienna sits on the edge of a small lake located in the middle of the campus area. He enjoys the beautiful natural scenery, with the sun shining brightly and the gentle breeze that makes the leaves sway.

As he sat there, he saw someone approaching him. The figure is Raj, an international student from India. Raj is a friendly young man and always smiles.

"Vienna, really?" Raj greets her with a warm smile.

Vienna smiled back. "Yes, I'm Vienna. You're Raj, aren't you?"

Raj nodded. "That's fine. I see you often sitting here alone, so I thought it would be nice if we could talk for a while."

Vienna agreed happily, and the two of them sat by the lake, overlooking the beautiful scenery. They begin to talk about their lives, and Vienna soon realizes that Raj has a very different cultural background.

Raj tells about his life in India, about his family, and about the values taught by his religion, Hinduism. He explains how he grew up believing in karma and reincarnation, as well as the importance of devotion to the gods.

Vienna listened carefully and appreciated Raj's story. Later, he shared his life experiences, including how he began to go on his spiritual journey and get to know Islam more deeply.

Raj seemed interested and asked, "How do you feel about Islam? What fascinates you with religion?"

Vienna answered cautiously, "For me, Islam is a source of peace and guidance in my life. I feel that God is present in every aspect of life, and this religion gives me deep meaning. But, hearing your story about Hinduism is also very interesting. I believe that God is present in all cultures and religions, and through this conversation, we can understand more about Him."

Raj nodded in agreement. "I agree, Vienna. Even though we come from different cultures, I feel that we all seek meaning in this life. And if we can learn from each other, we will draw closer to a deeper understanding of the Almighty."

Their conversation continued for hours, and they felt closer to each other. They talk about religious values, about life, and about how to see beauty in different cultures.

As the sun slowly sank in the western horizon, Vienna and Raj felt that God had brought them together to respect and cherish their cultural differences. They feel that through their friendship, they draw closer to God and appreciate the complexity and beauty of His creation.
