Waqf-e-Nau – a divinely inspired scheme On 3rd April 1987, after receiving Divine guidance, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(rh) called on Ahmadis to devote the lives of their children for the cause of the Community and bring them up in such a way that they would grow up to willingly sacrifice everything for the sake of God. Accordingly, this generation would be able to shoulder the responsibility of the Jama’at [community] in its second century. Huzoor(rh) called this scheme Tahrik Waqf-e-Nau. Today, Tahrik Waqf-e-Nau is a thriving institution in which thousands of Ahmadis devote the lives of their children for the sake of the Jama’at and everyday this number continues to swell. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) delivered a number of Friday Sermons and Addresses to parents and Waqfeen-e-Nau in which they explained the importance of this blessed scheme, the responsibilities of parents, how to bring up these children and the responsibilities of Waqfeen-e-Nau. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(rh) advised Wakalat Waqf-e-Nau to prepare a syllabus for these children as a mean to provide guidance for their education, upbringing and training. It is this syllabus that we will be teaching Inshallah. We will be following the syllabus quite closely in terms of age-related content. To a degree, this syllabus covers the requirements of training, yet it should not be treated as the last word. It is not prudent to rely on any single source of knowledge. Therefore, the parents, and at a later stage, the Waqf-e-Nau devotees themselves, should expand their learning beyond this syllabus and should seek help from other books.
