Night had arrived, and the lights of the campus garden began to shine around the picnic table where Vienna and her friends were sitting together. They have formed a circle and are surrounded by a cool garden environment. This warm atmosphere facilitates a deep discussion of the meaning of life and fullness.
Maya, who was sitting next to Vienna, started the conversation. "We've all been on a long journey during this time of college. But there is one question that always haunts my mind, 'What exactly is the meaning of life, and how can we reach fullness?'"
Their friends sitting around the table took a serious look. This was a fundamental question, and they felt it was the right time to reflect on it together.
Vienna, who felt closer to God every day, decided to speak. "I think the meaning of life is very personal. For me, during my spiritual journey, I discovered that the meaning of life is in living life according to the teachings of God, seeking meaning in good works, and drawing closer to Him. It is the source of true peace and happiness."
Rama, one of their friends, interjected, "But how can we achieve fullness in this busy life? Sometimes it feels hard to focus on the bigger ones when we're immersed in college chores and everyday life."
Vienna smile. "I feel the same way, Rama. But it is precisely in the midst of busyness that we can seek God. In every task, in every struggle, we can try to live with full awareness of God. That's a way to get closer to him."
The discussion continues, and each friend has a different view of the meaning of life and fullness. They talk about the importance of keeping a clean heart, doing good to others, and living life according to their moral values.
Vienna also shared her personal experience of how she found peace in prayer and prayer. He explained that prayer is not only a routine, but also a moment when he feels closest to God. This makes friends who do not know much about religion feel curious and want to know more.
As the discussion reaches its peak, their friends feel closer to each other and to God. They feel that talking about the meaning of life and fullness is an important step in their journey to achieve deeper spiritual closeness. As the night gets darker, they feel that this discussion has opened their eyes and hearts to better understand their life goals and how they can achieve fullness in this busy life.
The night had come, and the campus garden was preparing to welcome the small celebration they had planned. Vienna, Maya, and their friends carried blankets and sat under a star-filled sky. The gentle light of garden lights gives a familiar atmosphere.
They sat in a circle on the blanket, staring at the star-filled sky above them. The sounds of crickets and night bugs fill the air, creating a serene natural backdrop.
Maya started with a soft voice. "Look at the sky tonight, guys. How beautiful the universe is. This is God's wonderful work."
Everyone nodded in agreement while staring at the glittering sky. The stars above them looked so close, as if they could grab it with their own hands.
Vienna added, "This reminds me of a verse in the Quran that says that Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them. All this is proof of His greatness."
The discussion began, and they talked about how wonderful the universe is and how it reminds them of God. They contemplated about how small man was before such a huge universe.
Their friends began to share stories of moments when they felt close to God through the experience of nature. Some of them remember times when they went hiking in the mountains or saw the sun rise by the sea. All of these stories reflect the miracle of God's creation and how nature can help us feel closer to Him.
As they spoke, the night sky grew brighter with sparkling stars. They felt closeness to God in silence tonight, and the atmosphere of the garden calmed down. Some of them even closed their eyes for a moment to contemplate the greatness of God.
Suddenly, one of them started singing nasheed (an Islamic song). His soft voice permeated into the quiet night, filling the air with beauty and serenity. The rest of their friends started singing the song, creating a beautiful harmony between them.
The night was full of happiness, wonder, and gratitude. They all felt closer to each other and to God. Vienna knows that in the night of these stars, they have experienced the miracle of God's creation and felt a deep spiritual closeness. This is a moment they will remember forever.
He sat cross-legged under a tree that offered a cool shade. The tree leaves swayed slowly by the gentle breeze, creating a peaceful and calm atmosphere. The sunlight still radiates warmth in the park, creating a natural light perfect for reciting the Quran.
With a solemn heart, Vienna opened the Quran. The subtle sound of the courtyard pawns made him feel close to this scripture. He began to read carefully, living out every word that was written in it.
As he read the verses of the Quran, those words touched his heart deeply. These verses remind him of the greatness of God, His infinite love, and His eternal guidance. Vienna felt like she was speaking directly to God through this reading, reflecting on the deep meaning of every word spoken in the scriptures.
The wind grew stronger, making the leaves move gently on it. The sound of the wind was like a slow voice accompanying his reading. Vienna felt that the surrounding nature was a witness of its communication with God, and this added to its closeness to Him.
He was especially struck by the verses that spoke of God's love and compassion for His servants. He ponders how God is always ready to give mercy and forgiveness to those who turn to Him. This gave him peace and confidence that he could always return to Him in every moment of his life.
Vienna also contemplates verses that speak of the life of the world and the hereafter. He reminded himself of the importance of living this life with full awareness of his ultimate goal, which is to achieve closeness to God. These verses give him guidance and direction in living his life.
When Vienna finished reading the last few verses in the Quran she chose, she gently closed the scriptures and placed them beside her. He felt full of serenity and happiness after communicating with Allah through the recitation of the Quran.
Vienna closed her eyes and sat in silence for a moment, pondering everything she had read and felt. He felt very close to God in this moment, and he felt that every spiritual journey was a step towards His deeper presence.
The moving leaves, the sound of the wind passing by, and the radiating sunlight created a deep and meaningful atmosphere in the garden. Vienna felt grateful for this moment and promised to continue to draw closer to God through the recitation of the Quran and other worship.
The story ends with Vienna and her friends sitting in a beautiful campus garden. They are surrounded by shady trees, blooming flowers, and the quiet sound of nature. The peace and tranquility of this garden creates the perfect moment to celebrate their spiritual journey.
Vienna and Maya sit at the front, remembering all the events and moments they had experienced during their college days. They smiled at each other, feeling grateful for everything they had learned and felt.
"Who will talk about the best moments of our journey?" ask Maya with a warm smile.
Rama raised his hand and spoke excitedly, "For me, those are the times when we gather in this garden. Our discussions about the meaning of life, prayer together, and the night of the stars. All of that has made me feel closer to God and my friends."
Their friends agreed with Rama. They talked about how they felt the change in each of them during this college period. They feel more aware of the importance of living a life of meaning and developing closeness to God.
Vienna, who has been a role model for her friends on her spiritual journey, thanked them all. "I wouldn't have gotten here without your support and friendship. This is a moment I will remember forever."
The night grew darker, and the stars in the sky grew more and more glittering. They all fell silent for a moment, contemplating how wonderful God's creation was that night. The quiet sounds of nature, moving leaves, and luminous stars create a peaceful atmosphere.
They decided to end their celebration with a common prayer. They sat cross-legged and extended their hands to each other in the sign of brotherhood. Vienna leads prayer solemnly, thanking God for His guidance, His grace, and His infinite love.
Their prayers flowed meaningfully, reflecting their gratitude for their spiritual journey. They feel that God has guided them through every step, and they are ready to continue their journey with confidence.
