Waqfe Jadid
"And the case of those who spend their wealth to seek the pleasure of Allah and to strengthen their souls is like the case of a garden on elevated ground. Heavy rain falls on it so that it brings forth its fruit twofold. And if heavy rain does not fall on it, then light rain suffices. And Allah sees what you do." [Holy Qur'an 2:266]
THE BLESSED WAQF-E-JADID SCHEME
On Friday 9th July 1957, in a passionate Sermon of Eid-ul-Adha, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II (ra) outlined
the blessed Scheme of Waqf-e-Jadid (The New Dedication). Hazrat Musleh Maud (ra) planned to create a
network of Mu'alimeen (religious teachers) who should be wholly devoted to the upbringing of the members
throughout Pakistan. In addition to this objective, Waqf-e-Jadid was also designed to bring the message
of Islam to the Hindu population of Pakistan.
The Scheme was started on Friday 27th December 1957 and Sahibzada Mirza Tahir Ahmad Sahib (who would
later become Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (ra) was appointed as the first Director (Nazim Irshad) of
Waqf-e-Jadid.
On Saturday 1st February 1958, fourteen religious teachers were dispatched to selected rural areas of
the country and now by the grace and mercy of Allah the number of Mu'alimeen is counted in
thousands.
In 1986, Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (ra) broadened the scope of Waqf-e-Jadid and now all the countries
of the world are covered by the Scheme. Waqf-e-Jadid is reaping enormous benefit in Africa where scores
of Mu'alimeen (religious teachers) are undertaking the huge task of training people in the true Islam.
This is a huge task and demands a huge sacrifice from each of us.
