Dear Waqefeen e Nau Soon you will be ready to offer your services for the sake of the Faith.Much earlier, your parents dedicated your lives and now, on your own, you are to renew your pledge for the Service to the Faith.Kindly pray from the bottom of your hearts for all your companions from amongst the Waqefeen e Nau that Allah may accept their dedication and that they may be enabled to fully and faithfully live up to the pledge right until their death.Ameen.Surely, the objective of your life is to convey the Divine Message to the whole World.You are required to assemble the whole World under the banner of Allah and His messenger Mohammad (saw).This indeed is the most mammoth task in the whole World.There is not another task like it.Unless you establish a firm relationship with Allah and unless you worship the Almighty sincerely, you cannot possibly convey the Divine Message.It is therefore necessary for you to acquire the habit of offering the five obligatory daily prayers in congregation.Every single day you must recite a portion of the Holy Quran.Before undertaking any commission, reflect carefully if the task on which you are about to Page 6

Page 8

embark will have Allah’s approval.If you feel that Allah will approve of it, carry it out with fervour and zeal.Otherwise abandon it altogether merely because the Almighty disapproves.In this matter you may consult your parents, your seniors and the Missionaries.For quite some time the Wakalat Waqf-e-Nau has been framing syllabi.Syllabus books have already been presented.You should pursue your studies in the light of these.Remember that you must put into practice all the good things that you learn, for example; according to the demands of an occasion, recite the prayers that you have memorised.You have learnt table manners and studied etiquettes while at home and while in the Mosque.Deliberate on them and make a self-assessment to see if you have put such things into practice in your daily life.Certain matters have already been covered earlier.However, since they are very important, they are being repeated.While offering congregational prayers always keeping in mind the meanings.Recite a portion of the Holy Quran every day without fail.Make an attempt to read the Quran with translation.Even for your insignificant needs pray to the Almighty God.Page 7

Page 9

Use the Islamic terminology at home, according to the occasion, and make a habit of saying ‘Assalam O Alaikum’, ‘Jazakumullah’, ‘Mashallah’, ‘Bismillah’, ‘Alhamdolillah’, ‘Inshallah’, and ‘Salallaho Elehe Wa Salam’.You must regularly watch MTA International programmes, particularly those covering Friday Sermons.Pay attention to learning languages.Arabic and Urdu are compulsory for every Waqf.Besides these two, learn other languages such as English, Chinese, Russian, Dutch, Spanish, French, Turkish and Norwegian etc.Try and become proficient in languages.You can purchase video cassettes of the MTA programmes.At home make it a habit to sleep early and to rise early.You must participate in all the appeals from the Imam of the Jamaat, such as Tahreek-e-Jadeed, Waqf-e-Jadeed etc.Make a meticulous and consistent effort to put into practice the five Basic Pillars explained by Hazrat Khaleefa tul Masih IV.Make an effort and become a member of the Subsidiary Organisations of the Jamaat.If you are assigned any duty, carry it out willingly.Keep on writing letters to Hadhrat Khaleefa tul Masih for prayers.Page 8

Page 10

Make it a habit to be obedient.When your seniors entrust a task to you, execute it with pleasure.Merely abandon any task from which you are asked to refrain.Take part in Khidmat e Khalq such as enquiring after the health of the sick, taking care of them and nursing them.Be mindful of the rights of your neighbours.Acquire the habit of individual Waqaar e Amaal (dignity of labour) such as fetching groceries, polishing your shoes and attending to other minor chores with your own hands.Regularly study magazines and newspapers of the Jamaat such as ‘Tashheez ul Azhaan’ and ‘Al Fazl’.Also make a habit of reading other magazines and newspapers.You must read all the articles, instructions and announcements published on behalf of Waqf-e-Nau.You may read fairy tales but make sure that they are such that to contribute to the building of good moral standards.Refrain from such jokes and stories that adversely affect your character.You may seek guidance from your parents in the selection of good stories.Page 9

Page 11

Besides the school curriculum, take part in some extra curricular activities (such as Bazm e Adab and games).In this regard, seek guidance from your parents and your teachers.Make it a habit to be punctual and perform the daily chores at predetermined times.Along with love for the Faith, generate love for the Fatherland.Make it a habit to exercise.Take part in healthy pursuits such as swimming, target shooting with a catapult and with a gun, football, cycling etc.Pay particular attention to cleanliness.Clean your teeth regularly.Bathe regularly and always wear clean clothes.Ensure that your shoes are polished and that your books and your notebooks are free from unsightly blemishes.You must also keep your house, your street, your locality and the whole environment neat and clean.Remember and recall true stories about your family.Such as: When did your family embrace Ahmadiyyat? What sacrifices were they called upon to make? What hardships did they have to bear? How did the Almighty shower His Blessings on your family? Page 10

Page 12

Make it a habit to write your Diary daily.In it you must particularly enter the directions emanating from Huzoor to the participants of the Children’s Class and act accordingly.Make a note of the progress you make.Bear in mind that these syllabuses lay down the minimum standards.Make a determined effort to acquire far more knowledge.Page 11

that the monumental task entrusted to us has been accomplished by us to the limit of our potential, can pass on in peace and can, with some satisfaction, present ourselves before the Creator.” (Friday Sermon delivered by Hadhrat Khaleefa tul Masih IV on 24th November 1989) Salutation to the Very Best Leader (Hadhrat Doctor Meer Mohammad Ismaeel) CONDITIONS OF BAI’AT This page of the Bai’at form has been reproduced for reference purposes.CONDITIONS OF BAI’AT (INITIATION) FOR JOINING THE AHMADIYYA MUSLIM JAMA’AT By Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian The Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) 1- The initiate shall solemnly promise that he shall abstain from shirk (association of any partners with God) right up to the day of his death.Page 42
