First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Conversation Night

Vienna sits in her dormitory room on campus, her eyes staring at a computer screen displaying condescending comments from her controversial lecturer in an online discussion in class. His heart felt heavy, and he felt frustrated by the injustice he was experiencing.

When the door to her room suddenly opened slowly, Vienna turned her head and looked at Maya, her classmate, with a warm smile on her face. Maya brings a plate of chocolate cake that still feels warm and seductive with its sweet aroma.

"Hey, Vienna," Maya said as she sat next to him. "I know you're having a problem with that lecturer. Let's talk about it."

Vienna nodded with a sigh, putting her laptop on the small table in front of them. "Thank you, Maya. It felt so heavy, and I felt like there was nothing I could do."

Maya takes a piece of chocolate cake for each of them, and they begin to have a conversation. They talked about their experiences with the controversial lecturer, how those condescending comments felt unfair, and how it affected them emotionally.

Maya looked at Vienna with great attention. "Vienna, I know it's not easy, but we have to keep the principles of our religion. We must find a wise way to deal with it without sacrificing our faith."

Vienna nodded. "I know, Maya, but sometimes it feels so hard."

Maya patted Vienna's shoulders gently. "You're not alone in this. We'll face it together. I have an idea, what if we seek support from our friends who share similar views?"

Viennese smiled at Maya. "That's a good idea. We can form a support group to help each other in the face of the lecturer."

They both spent the night planning their next steps. They want to go on this journey wisely, without forgetting their religious principles. Although the struggle was still ahead, they felt relieved to have each other in dealing with it.

The warm atmosphere of his dormitory room with the delicious aroma of chocolate cake creates a comfortable feeling. Vienna felt lucky to have a friend as good as Maya who was always there for her in difficult moments. Even though the test was not over yet, at least he did not have to face it alone.

A few days after the conversation that night, Maya and Vienna felt the need to seek deeper strength in the face of controversial lecturers who were increasingly challenging. They feel that prayer is the best way to find closeness to God and ask for His guidance.

One afternoon, they decided to gather in the quiet and quiet campus prayer hall. They brought their prayer mats and sat down cross-legged, facing the Qibla. A soft carpet beneath them adds comfort to their prayers.

Vienna and Maya sat in silence for a moment, calming down and feeling an atmosphere filled with tranquility. They know that this moment is very important to them.

Maya begins by reading the opening prayer, inviting God to bless their meeting and give them strength and guidance. The two of them then closed their eyes and began to pray with a sincere heart.

Vienna began her prayer, pleading with God to give her the strength to face the trials that lay before her. He felt at peace in prayer, feeling that every word he spoke was heard by the Almighty.

"O Allah," he said gently, "please give me the wisdom to face this difficult lecturer. Make me your ambassador who brings light and peace to this situation. I know You are always with me, and I ask You to give me strength."

They both prayed fervently, feeling the presence of God so close. They feel that this shared prayer gives them the calmness and strength they need. Every word spoken is an expression of a heart filled with gratitude and hope.

After they finished praying, they sat in silence, pervading this moment. They feel their closeness to God is deepening, and this gives them confidence to face the challenges that lie ahead.

The atmosphere in the campus prayer hall is very quiet and full of tranquility. The soft glow of the ceiling-mounted lights creates a calm atmosphere. They feel that God is always there, listening to their prayers.

Maya pats Vienna's shoulders gently. "We're going to get through this together, Vienna. With God's support, we'll succeed."

Vienna smiled at Maya, feeling grateful for her best friend. "Thank you, Maya. We'll definitely go through it wisely."

The two of them rose from their prayer mats, ready to face the test that lay ahead with more confidence. Their closeness to God deepens in this moment, and they feel that this is the right step in their journey.

Maya and Vienna felt that in order to confront controversial lecturers wisely, they needed to strengthen their understanding of religion and how those religious principles speak of tolerance and diversity. They decided to hold a group discussion with some of their classmates who were also interested in religion.

They contact classmates who they know have a deep understanding of religion and want to discuss about this topic. Finally, there were six people who agreed to join this discussion.

They gathered at the campus library on a sunny afternoon. A quiet room with bookshelves and wooden tables creates an atmosphere suitable for in-depth discussion. The sunlight that enters through the large windows adds to the warm feel of the room.

Maya begins the discussion by outlining the topic. "We all know that we are facing challenges with lecturers who have views that are contrary to the principles of our religion. Today, we want to discuss how our religions talk about tolerance and diversity. How can we keep our religious principles in check while establishing good relationships with people who have different views?"

One of their classmates, Aisha, who was a Muslim like Vienna and Maya, began to speak. "I think it's important for us to understand that religions talk about peace and love for others. Regardless of differences in views, we should try to maintain peace and tolerance in our interactions with others."

Another classmate, David, who was a Christian, also gave his views. "I agree, Aisha. I think religions teach us to respect and love our fellow human beings, even if they have different beliefs. This is an important part of our religious values."

The discussion continues with a lot of exchange of views and deep thoughts on the concepts of tolerance and diversity in religion. Everyone made their unique contribution, and the atmosphere of discussion felt filled with respect for each other.

Vienna felt that this discussion was helpful in deepening his understanding of religion and how to deal with controversial lecturers wisely. He also felt that their closeness to God deepened as they discussed the principles of the religion.

The discussion ended with the conclusion that it is important to live life with respect to the beliefs of others, while remaining true to the principles of each religion. They all felt that this discussion had given a broader view of religion and how to live life wisely in the face of differences.

As the sun began to sink, they all left the library with a deeper understanding of religion and a growing sense of brotherhood. They know that with their confidence and knowledge, they can face the test that lies ahead with more confidence and wisdom.
