The sun slowly sank in the western horizon when Vienna arrived at its new campus. The campus is located in a small town surrounded by lush green trees and charming hills. The beautiful and calm natural atmosphere immediately welcomed his arrival. He was so impressed with the natural beauty around the campus.
Vienna walked towards the main campus building with her backpack containing her personal belongings. He felt his heart throbbing more and more due to his spirit and hope growing at this moment. This is the beginning of her new journey, and she is very excited to go through the college experience at this top-notch college.
Upon arriving at the main building of the campus, he was greeted by a friendly orientation committee. They wore college shirts and smiled warmly as they welcomed the new students. A large banner with the words "Welcome to the New Campus!" decorate the building entrance.
"Welcome!" said one of the orientation committee, a senior student named Fadil. "I'm Fadil, and I'll be one of your orientation committee. We're so glad you joined us."
Vienna smiled and replied, "I'm Vienna, nice to meet you, Fadil."
Fadil then provides a brief introduction to the campus, academic programs, and various social activities that will be held during the orientation period. Vienna listened carefully, noting important information in the orientation booklet provided by the committee.
Once the introduction is complete, the new students are directed to take a short tour of the campus. Vienna follows her group, led by a senior student named Sarah. They walk through the green campus alleys and see the facilities available, including the library, lecture rooms, and student activity center.
As they walked, Vienna overheard a conversation between her classmates who were exchanging experiences about what they expected from this college. He also joined in small talk with some other students who had similar interests to him.
When the tour ended, they returned to the main building to attend the official welcoming event. Inside the auditorium, the freshmen sat with enthusiasm. There are warm greetings from the rector and some senior lecturers who give advice to the freshmen on how to live campus life wisely.
Vienna felt inspired by the words of the senior lecturers. She feels increasingly steadier in her determination to live a balanced campus life between study and spirituality. After the welcoming ceremony is over, she returns to the dorm with her new classmate, Maya. They both felt happy about the beginning of their journey at this new campus.
As the sun completely sank in the western horizon, Vienna pondered this remarkable day. He knows that challenges are coming, but he is ready to face them with a newfound passion and determination. She feels very grateful for this opportunity and is excited to embark on her new journey at this distinguished college.
The second day of the campus orientation period, Vienna still feels excited. After breakfast in the campus cafeteria, she attended orientation sessions focusing on student activities and campus clubs. He wanted to find opportunities to join clubs related to spirituality and religion.
As the session unfolded, Vienna's eyes fell on a student sitting next to her. The girl looked calm and had a friendly smile on her face. She wears a hijab and seems to have a peaceful aura. Vienna was interested in talking to him.
When the orientation session ended, Vienna heartily fluttered over to the girl. "Hi, I'm Viennese" he said with a gentle smile.
The girl, who turned out to be Maya, answered the Vienna welcome with a smile. "Hi, Vienna. I'm Maya. It's nice to meet you."
Vienna felt that they both had a similar interest in religion. "Do you also have an interest in spirituality and religion?" ask Vienna with enthusiasm.
Maya nodded. "Yes, I'm very interested in that. I'm happy to meet someone who has similar interests."
After speaking for quite a while, Maya invites Vienna to go to the campus mosque. "We can pray together there. This mosque is a beautiful place to seek tranquility and to draw near to Allah."
Vienna was pleased with Maya's offer. They both walked towards the beautiful campus mosque. When they got there, they took off their shoes and entered the mosque. The dim light from the chandelier fills the room, creating a serene and solemn atmosphere.
Maya and Vienna stand next to each other in an empty saf, overlooking the Qibla. They prayed fervently, asking for guidance and blessings on their journey on this new campus. After they finished praying, they sat cross-legged on the carpet of the mosque, talking more about their religious beliefs.
For several hours, they talked about spiritual values, how to keep the faith amid the diverse campus association, and their plans to join religious study groups. They also plan to participate in social activities related to religion.
When the sun began to sink and the Maghreb's doom reverberated, the two of them ended their meeting. They feel that this meeting is the beginning of a special and deep friendship. Maya offers to introduce Vienna to some of her friends who also have an interest in religion.
As they walked out of the mosque, Vienna felt so grateful to have found a true friend like Maya on this campus. He knew that their friendship would help them live their spiritual and academic journey in college with passion and determination.
A sunny and quiet day welcomes a visit to the campus mosque. Vienna and Maya arrive at the mosque with enthusiastic hearts. This mosque is one of the places they have been most looking forward to since the beginning of orientation. They want to feel the calm and peace that can be found inside this mosque.
When entering the mosque, they feel fascinated by the architectural beauty and interior decoration of the mosque. A soft red carpet covers the entire floor of the mosque, and beautiful crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, creating a serene and light-filled atmosphere.
They decided to take off their shoes and walked slowly towards the carpet closer to the qibla. The mosque is still quite quiet because it was not being used for congregational prayer at that time, so they feel they have space to reflect and pray calmly.
Vienna sat cross-legged on the carpet, while Maya stood up and began to pray. They feel that in this moment, they can contemplate the greatness of God and feel close to Him. Vienna pondered about her new spiritual journey, how she began to recognize God more deeply and to try to live her religion well. Maya prays for guidance and blessings on their campus journey.
After they finished praying, the two of them sat together on the carpet, talking quietly about their feelings. "I feel so calm here" Vienna said softly. "This mosque is a beautiful place to contemplate and pray."
Maya agreed. "Yes, Vienna. I feel the same. This is a special place, and I hope we can come here regularly to maintain our spirituality while on campus."
Vienna agreed with a smile. "I hope so too, Maya. We can support each other in this spiritual journey."
The two of them remained inside the mosque for a while longer, contemplating and feeling the peace that this place presented. Then, they exited the mosque and returned to the center of the campus to continue the orientation event.
For the rest of the orientation, they feel increasingly motivated to keep their spirituality in the middle of a busy campus life. They plan to seek out religious study groups or religious-related clubs to further their understanding of the faith.
A visit to the campus mosque has given them an experience that strengthens their resolve. Vienna and Maya felt that the presence of this mosque was a great blessing in their spiritual journey on campus, and they both promised to keep their connection with this place during their time in college.
