Members of the Waqf-e-Nau scheme have been urged to constantly seek guidance from the Khalifa of the time and inform Huzur about every feat attained in school and life.
Also, after completing their studies and becoming teachers, doctors, electricians, plumbers, drivers, architects, and engineers, they are required to report to Huzur through the National Waqf-e-Nau Coordinator.
The National Coordinator of the Ghana Waqf-e Nau Scheme, Hafiz Maulvi Mohammed Saani Abdullai who made this known at the ongoing 41st annual rally of the Majlis Khuddam-ul Ahmadiyya Ghana said, they will then be posted into various jama’at institutions in any country around the world if their services are immediately needed or will be allowed to take up jobs of their choices but devote their vacations and weekends to the service of the jama’at and humanity at large.
Maulvi Saani appealed to the Khuddam to take up the challenge of devoting many of their children to the scheme.
He asked the khuddam to support the Waqf-e-Nau scheme to build an army of highly spiritual and moral but equally highly educated devotees who will always be ready to serve humanity in all spheres of life.
He charged couples to be united in their desire to devote their unborn children to the scheme. He said, a situation where one of the parents is not in agreement or is in doubt, will lead to the failure of it.
The Waqf-e-Nau is a devotion scheme established under Divine guidance by the 4th Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement on 3rd April 1987, under which parents may devote their children to the service of the jama’at and humanity even before their birth.
The scheme is aimed at making parents train their children both religious and secular well. There is a required syllabus and other training materials for those on the scheme. When a Waqf-e-Nau child attains the age of 15, a reconfirmation form is filled, through which a Waqf-e-Nau child reaffirms that he/she understands and whole-heartedly accepts the sacrifice made by his/her parents and consequently pledges to continue in line with the desire of his/her parents. The reconfirmation may be done once again at age 21.
