The next meeting in the religious class was the moment Vienna had been waiting for. He has felt inspired by Ustadz Amir's lessons and is increasingly eager to learn more about Islam. Today, he will meet with Ustadz Ahmad, a wise religious teacher who has been mentioned by Ustadz Amir as one of the best educators in this mosque.
When Vienna arrived at the mosque, the natural atmosphere was so peaceful. The morning sun was shining brightly, and the birds were chirping with excitement in the garden of the mosque. Vienna felt like all elements of nature gave it a wonderful welcome to its spiritual journey. His heart was so airy, unlike the times he had fun with his friends.
He entered the religious classroom and sat in his chair with great enthusiasm. His curiosity and enthusiasm grew even more intense when he saw Ustadz Ahmad entering the room. Ustadz Ahmad was an authoritative middle-aged man, with a black beard that grew neatly on his face. His eyes were full of wisdom and calmness.
Ustadz Ahmad began his studies by reciting the holy verses of the Quran and explaining its meaning. His calm and melodious voice made all the students in this room feel connected to the teachings being delivered.
He began to describe the teachings of Islam about good manners and ethics in everyday life. He highlighted the importance of compassion, tolerance, and justice in living life. Vienna felt that she was entering a deeper world about the true meaning of religion.
At recess, Vienna sits in the beautiful garden of the mosque. Shady trees provide shade in the warm sunlight. He saw Ustadz Ahmad out of the classroom and decided to approach him.
Ustadz Ahmad saluted, "Assalaamu'alaikum... Vienna."
"Wa'alaikum salutations." Answer Vienna.
With a friendly smile, Ustadz Ahmad greeted Vienna. They started talking about the lessons of the day and how Islam can guide a person in living a better life.
Ustadz Ahmad and Vienna sat down together to develop their talk about the lessons of the day and how Islam can guide a person in living a better life. They speak with enthusiasm and passion, sharing their thoughts and experiences. Here is their story development:
Ustadz Ahmad explained the day's lessons in detail, outlining important concepts in Islam that are relevant to daily life. He explained how principles such as kindness, justice, and compassion can be the foundation for every Muslim in living their lives.
Vienna listened attentively, wondering how he could apply these teachings in his life. He shared some of his personal experiences relating to the challenges and struggles of living the principles of Islam in the modern world.
Ustadz Ahmad said, "Islam is not only about ritual worship, but also about how we behave to others. We must love and honor all God's creatures, and live life with compassion."
Vienna listened carefully and asked, "How can we practice this teaching in daily life, sir?"
Ustadz Ahmad smiled and replied, "First of all, we should strive to always live life with good intentions, for Allah. Then, we should try to always be kind to others, even to those who are not in our faith. Respect for the rights of fellow human beings is an important part of Islam."
As lesson time ended, Vienna felt inspired and excited to continue learning about Islam. He knew that Ustadz Ahmad would be an important mentor in his spiritual journey. As he left the mosque, he felt a calmness in his heart that could not be explained with words.
With each passing encounter, Vienna deepens its understanding of Islam and its true values in life. He felt lucky to have Ustadz Ahmad as a wise teacher and hoped to become a better person in accordance with the teachings of his religion. His spiritual journey has just begun, and he is ready to pursue a deeper meaning in his life.
After several meetings in religious classes, Vienna increasingly felt connected to the teachings of Islam. However, in the course of his search, many questions came to his mind. Vienna felt that Ustadz Ahmad was the right person to answer these questions.
One morning, after the lesson was over, Vienna decided to face Ustadz Ahmad. He wanted to get more in-depth answers about some of the concepts in Islam that have always baffled him. The natural atmosphere around the mosque is very calm, with a cool breeze blowing gently.
Carefully, Vienna approached Ustadz Ahmad who was sitting under a tree in the garden of the mosque. Vienna asked, "Ustadz, I have a question about destiny. How does God determine everything in our lives?"
Ustadz Ahmad smiled and nodded, "Destiny is a deep concept in Islam, Vienna. Allah is All-Knowing of all things and has written down the destiny of every creature since the beginning of creation. However, humans still have freedom of choice. God's destiny is His plan, but we still have the freedom to make choices in our lives."
Vienna understood that answer and felt calmer about the concept of destiny. However, there were still other questions that plagued his mind. "What about the concept of justice, Ustadz? Why is there so much injustice and suffering in this world if Allah is All-Justice?"
Ustadz Ahmad answered wisely, "The justice of God lies in His perfect judgment. We may not always understand the reason behind every trial or suffering we experience, but we believe that God is All-Justice and that all His deeds are just. We may not see it now, but in the end, His justice will be fulfilled."
Vienna felt her heart calmer hearing the answer. However, there was one more question that had haunted him for a long time. With hesitation, he asked, "Ustadz, how can we understand the love of God? I often feel separated from Him."
Ustadz Ahmad pondered for a moment before replying, "The love of Allah is one of the most beautiful aspects of Islam. God loves all His creatures unconditionally, and His love is abundant. What matters is that we open our hearts to receive His love. We can feel it through gratitude, prayer, and love for our fellow human beings. Remember that God always listens to our prayers and is always close to us."
Vienna felt warm in her heart to hear the answer. Ustadz Ahmad has given much needed enlightenment to understand the love of God. He felt closer to God than ever before.
After that deep conversation, Vienna felt inspired to continue to learn and deepen his understanding of Islam. Ustadz Ahmad had helped answer the questions in his heart and guided him to seek answers in his own heart.
When Vienna left the mosque garden, she felt like she had passed an important stage in her spiritual journey. He felt that his understanding and belief were growing stronger, and he was ready to face the challenges and questions that might arise in his profound journey towards God.
