First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Meeting at the Mosque

Sunlight slowly seeped in through the high windows of the mosque, creating a beautiful shadow pattern over the clean marble floor. The indoor air was cool and calm, giving a sense of tranquility to those who came to attend religious classes this morning.

Vienna stood at the door of the mosque, staring inward with a mixed expression of curiosity and anxiety. With a doubtful step, he walked in and immediately felt as if he was the center of everyone's attention. The eyes of the people who had already gathered were focused on him as he searched for a seat. Vienna felt awkward and lonely, she felt like an alien fish in a new pond.

He finally found an empty chair in the corner of the room, away from the sight of others. With hesitation, he sat down and watched the peers who had already gathered in small groups. They seemed familiar to each other, laughing, and talking enthusiastically. Most of them appear to be around the age of Vienna, teenagers who seek meaning in religion.

Some of his new friends began to approach Vienna with warm smiles on their faces. They shook hands one by one and introduced themselves. One of them, Aisyah, a girl with a hijab that covered her hair neatly, made a soft voice as she spoke, "Hello, I'm Aisyah. Welcome to the religious class. We're glad you came."

Vienna smiled nervously and replied, "Hello, I'm Vienna. Thanks for the welcome."

Aisyah and her new friends help Vienna feel more comfortable. They invited him to sit with them in the circle they had formed in the middle of the room. As time went on, Vienna felt more open and more confident.

As the class began, a wise and passionate teacher stood before them. He began a lesson on religious teachings, explaining in detail the importance of worship, morality, and values in Islam. Vienna listened carefully, trying to digest every word taught.

In class discussions, Aisyah asked the teacher, "How can we feel closeness to God in everyday life?"

The teacher smiled and replied, "Closeness to God is an ongoing process. One way to feel it is to practice worship sincerely and understand the meaning behind it. Also, having a community like this can help us feel connected to people who have similar spiritual goals."

Conversations in the classroom became more and more profound, and Vienna felt herself engaged in discussions. He realized that he was not alone in his quest to draw closer to God.

When the class ended, they all together left the mosque, heading to the beautiful garden around it. The trees in the garden looked lively and green, their leaves moving gently in the cool breeze. Vienna felt that the natural surroundings reflected the changes in her. The once empty and withered garden is now full of life, just as its feelings are now more meaningful and meaningful.

They talk more about religion and their spiritual journey while sitting in the shade of a tall tree. The highlight of the morning sun gives warmth to their glowing faces with renewed vigor. Vienna felt like she had found a new family in her new friends, and she felt lucky to have decided to embark on her spiritual journey.

They regrouped inside the mosque for the next religious class. The room was filled with the same aura of tranquility, with warm sunlight entering through the tall windows. Vienna sat among her new friends, feeling more comfortable with them after the previous meeting.

Their religious teacher, Ustaz Amir, smiled as he began the day's lessons. "Today, we will discuss the importance of talking about faith and our spiritual journey" said Ustaz Amir.

Vienna felt interested. He wanted to hear how his new friends had experienced their own spiritual journey. He felt it could give him more insight into how to get closer to God.

Aisyah, who was sitting next to Vienna, began to speak, "Since I began to take religion more seriously, I felt my life had a greater purpose. I feel more calm and grateful."

Vienna nodded, feeling the power in Aisyah's words. "I also feel that way," he said softly. "Before, my life was only about worldly things, but now I feel like there's something bigger."

Ustaz Amir welcomed the development. "That feeling is normal when we begin to understand religion more deeply. This is a sign that you are experiencing spiritual growth."

Then, it was Vienna's turn to speak. She felt awkward at first, but then she opened her heart. "I know I still have a lot to learn about religion, but ever since I started this journey, I feel like something is filling a void in my life. I want to learn more about Islam and get closer to Allah."

Her new friends gave her praise and support to Vienna. They understood her feelings and felt happy that she decided to share them.

"We are all here to support each other and grow together," Aisyah said softly. "The journey of faith is like a journey together, and we will go through all these challenges together."

Conversations about faith and spiritual journey continue during class. They discuss deep topics, such as the meaning of life, the meaning of true happiness, and how religion can guide them in living their daily lives. Their spirits were ablaze, and the atmosphere of the room was filled with positive energy.

When the class ended, they exited the mosque and sat in the beautiful garden around it. The warm sunlight and the roar of the leaves of the trees gave a sense of peace. They continued their discussion under the shade of a tall tree.

Vienna felt so grateful to have found friends that she could speak openly about her religion and spiritual journey. He felt stronger in his determination to draw closer to God and feel the true meaning of his life.

That morning, Vienna was nervous and excited. Today is the first day he will attend religious activities with his new friends at the mosque. She wore her Muslim dress with a hopeful heart. When he arrived at the mosque, he saw his new friends who had gathered at the door of the mosque.

Aisyah, who was always friendly, smiled as she looked at Vienna. "Welcome, Vienna! We will follow the Dhuhr prayer today. It will be a very good experience for you."

Vienna smiled and thanked Aisyah. They entered the mosque, followed by other friends. The atmosphere inside the mosque is a mix of calmness and enthusiasm. Pilgrims lined up neatly for the Dhuhr prayer, with other worshippers coming to worship.

Vienna felt good as she stood side by side with her new friends and other worshippers. When the priest began to pray, the sound of his melodious chant filled the entire room. Vienna felt a deeper closeness to God as she pervaded every verse read. The congregational prayers made her feel like part of a larger community, and it was a heart-pounding experience.

After the prayer, they took a class of exegesis taught by Ustaz Amir. In a room full of religious books and interesting writings, they sat in a circle. Ustaz Amir began the class by discussing verses from the Quran, teaching its meaning and application in everyday life.

Vienna enjoyed the class. He felt as if his mind was open to a deeper understanding of religious teachings. He realized how important tafsir was in understanding the deeper meaning behind the holy verses of the Quran.

After the tafsir class was over, Viennese friends invited him to join a community social event held at the mosque. They gathered in a spacious hall, where lunch dishes had been provided. The atmosphere of the hall was full of warmth and laughter, with everyone gathered happily.

Aisyah and the other friends sat together at a long table. They talk about the lessons of the tafsir class and how they can apply them in everyday life. They also share their personal experiences of how religion has helped them face challenges and live life more meaningfully.

Vienna felt herself fully accepted by her new friends. They are not only friends of faith, but also friends of life, ready to support each other in their spiritual journey. Vienna is happy and grateful to have found such a warm and supportive community.

As time passed, Vienna began attending religious activities with her new friends on a regular basis. They attend congregational prayers, tafsir classes, and participate in various social and charity events. Her relationship with her new friends is getting stronger, and she feels more and more deeply in her religious understanding.

On a sunny afternoon, they all gathered in the garden of the mosque after the Ashar prayer. They sat in the shade of a tall tree, chatting about their future plans. Vienna felt like she had found a new family in her new friends, and she felt closer to her true purpose in life.
