Special emphasis is to be laid on including new Ahmadis in the Waqf-e-Jadid system. Huzooraba stated in his Friday sermon of January 9, 2015: “Strong connections are made when new Ahmadis are included in financial giving system. Along with development of faith it also builds strong connection with the administration of Jama’at.”
Only a few weeks remain for the Waqfe Jadid financial year. Please make every effort for everyone in your family to participate in this blessed scheme, especially children.

Inculcating the habit of sacrifice in children
In his Friday sermon of January 4, 2008: "Hadrat Khalifatul Masih (aba) said that Hadhrat Khalifat-ul-Masih 111rh promoted Waqf-e-Jadid particularly among children and, through the blessings of this scheme, half of the contributions from Pakistan are from children. It is most gratifying that our Community has children with such spirit; they are indeed an assurance of the blessings to continue in the generation to come. Huzur urged parents worldwide to focus on this. He asked the Waqf-e-Jadid secretaries, the Nasirat and Atfal secretaries to also take note. Awareness of the blessing of Waqf-e-Jadid should be raised among children. Those who will grow up with this awareness in this materialistic world will not only become an asset for the Community but their personal lives will also be rewarded by Allah due to this."
Kindly urge all children (under the age of 15) to become Nanha Mujahid by sacrificing $50 or more of their own money toward the blessed Waqf-e-Jadid Scheme. This money should be earned, and it may be received even from parents, for example by performing certain tasks around the house. The names of Nanha Mujahid are sent to Huzoor for special prayers.
