Al-Hadith
The Holy Prophetsaw is the Last Law-Giving Prophet
Narrated by Hadrat Abu Hurairah, Allah be pleased with him: The
Prophet of Allah (may peace of Allah and His blessings be on him)
said:
“I am the last Prophet and this mosque of mine (at Medina) is the
last mosque.” (Muslim)
In this pleasing Ḥadīth, our Lord, the Holy Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allāh be on him) says: He is the last
prophet and no such reformer dare come after him as would
terminate his prophetic dispensation and, instead, initiate
another dispensation. If one came along, he would
necessarily be of his own following, his disciple, and as a
servant of his Sharī‘ah, within the fold of his prophethood
and not beyond its pale.

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABA’s Friday Sermon Summary
Friday Sermon: Strive for Goodness and Peace for All
Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community on October 31, 2014
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: Every Ahmadī ought
to remember that he or she is duty-bound to invite the
world towards goodness and to wish everyone well. It is our
duty to establish peace in the world by preventing the people
from acting wrongly or getting involved in mischief. We must
wish well to the people of all faiths. We shall show them the
path to goodness and prevent them from evil.
God has, in fact, made our field of actions very vast when He
states that we are the people who have been raised for the
good of mankind. Hence, we are duty-bound to show the
world the path that will bring it close to God. We have to
remind the world that it has to act upon the commandments
of the Almighty God for the sake of its own good and betterment.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his helper) said: It is the duty of all
Ahmadīs to work hard and make use of wisdom to inculcate in the hearts of mankind the true teaching of Islām
which is none other than love and compassion.
It is our duty to help the world by providing them spiritual
and worldly aid. Also, it is very important to increase the
number of Ahmadīs who should preach the message of the
true Islām to the world. The Nizām Jamā‘at needs to actively pay attention to this.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: But we cannot make
anyone understand these things until we ourselves become
such as keep a watch on our ultimate end, our final outcome.
This is a great duty that we have to fulfill and carry out with
great care, thought and regular assessments. During the carrying out of this task, we will have to face numerous difficulties and face persecution, but we need to remember that the
true Jamā‘ats that are raised by God
Himself always face such difficulties.
Therefore, we need not be afraid of the opposition. God has

of the terrorists who are indiscriminately killing women,
children and old people alike. Those who are enslaving people merely because they do not share the way of thinking of
the former can never be true well-wishers of the world. For
us Ahmadīs there is, in this, a lot to feel ashamed and sad
about that our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be
upon him), who is a mercy for the universe, is the one that
such people ascribe themselves to while doing such misdeeds.
They have brought infamy upon the religion of Islām and
they are also presenting the Holy Prophetsaw to the world in
a totally wrong way contrary to his real exemplary nature.
Nevertheless, as an Ahmadī we are not at all dismayed nor
do we lose hope seeing such misdeeds of theirs.

Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABA’s Friday Sermon Summary Continued...
God Himself has declared us to be the best among mankind,
we shall never stop preaching goodness to the world, shall
never refrain from spreading the message of Islām, the True
Faith, and shall always continue to invite the world to the
One God.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: The Promised MessiahAS has commanded us to even pray for our enemies,
wish them well and be of benefit to them. The Promised
MessiahAS has set an example in this regard by following the
noble conduct of his master, the Holy Prophetsaw and by
seeking goodness even for his enemies. We too, therefore,
should strive to follow the example of the Holy Prophetsaw
and the Promised MessiahAS, so that the world is saved from
destruction. We need to make earnest prayers before God
for this. Also, we need to make every possible effort to see
this truly happening.
Apart from the spiritual help, we have also been assigned
the task of helping the world with its material needs. We
should not only help our own people to overcome hunger,
lack of clothing and disease, but rather we need to help all
other people. According to the teachings of the Holy
Qur’ān, we shall extend spiritual and material help to everyone regardless of their faith and race. We need to continue to expand our field of actions, so as to be of benefit
to the whole world.

Waqfe Nau Newsletter USA
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABA’s Friday Sermon Summary Continued...
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) quoted Hazrat Musleh
Mau‘ūdRA who related some incidents from the life of the
Promise MessiahAS shedding light on his care for the children, his admonitions to his followers to remain loyal to the
government, and his jihad with the pen.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) also narrated an incident
related by Hazrat Musleh Mau‘ūdRA about the respect and
reverence the companions of the Promised MessiahAS
showed towards him.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) quoted Hazrat Musleh
Mau‘ūdRA who said: ‘Our youth should always be mindful of
Islāmic values and morals. However, enough attention is
not paid to this, and this is done despite the fact that these
things have a far-reaching impact
on a person’s life’.
In this context, Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) referred
to some programs produced by MTA Pakistan wherein,
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said, Islāmic values and
etiquettes and the traditions of the Jamā‘at were not upheld.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: If MTA Rabwah will
produce such programs, they will not be tolerated. Therefore, MTA Rabwah must be mindful of this. The Murabbīs
need to be especially careful. They must be aware that they
have to be mindful of their dignity and should strive to preserve it at all times.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) narrated an incident of
the early life of Hazrat Musleh Mau‘ūdRA according to which
he wanted to play cricket and asked the Promised MessiahAS
if he too would like to join the boys in their game. At this,
the Promised MessiahAS said: ‘Your ball will remain within
the ground you will be playing in, but I am playing that
cricket in which the ball will reach the ends of the world!’
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: Now, you can see
for yourself whether or not the ball thrown by the Promised MessiahAS has reached the ends of the earth?! Indeed,
today the message of the Ahmadiyya Jamā‘at is reaching
across the world.
Hazrat Musleh Mau‘ūdRA narrated another incident also
whereby he proved that without hard work one can never
obtain a respectable position in the world. The Promised
MessiahAS said: ‘In this age of mine, God has associated all
kinds of respect with me. Therefore, even if my opponents
are given respect, they are treated in this manner because
of me. The Promised MessiahAS said: ‘A weak connection
with God is of no avail. Only a strong bond with Him can
be of benefit to a person. Without this, one cannot be a
recipient of Divine grace. Therefore, what is really needed is
that one should completely surrender oneself to God and
submit oneself fully to Him. Only then will a person be
blessed with everything he wants to have. Every Ahmadī
should keep in mind that if he has surrendered himself to
God, he should do it fully and wholeheartedly.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: I keep drawing attention of the Jamā‘at that once we have taken Bai‘at, we should
appear to be different from others. We should be distinct in
terms of our faith in the existence of God, in terms of His
worship, our moral attitudes and our obedience to the law.
Only then can we truly benefit from Bai‘at.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: The exemplary conduct of men of God does not become manifest until they are
tried with various trials and hardships. When a person completely kills worldly desires and negates his own self he attains the life that does not perish and after which there is no
death.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) said: May God enable us
all to act upon the admonitions of Hazrat Musleh Mau‘ūdRA
and follow the guidelines laid down for us by him.
Towards the end of the Friday Sermon, Huzoor (May Allāh
be his Helper) spoke of the sad demise of Surayya Begum
Sahiba, wife of Chaudhry Abdur Rahim Sahib of Multan, Pakistan, who was living in Manchester, UK.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) announced that he would
lead her funeral prayer after the Jumu‘a Prayer.
Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper) also announced the sad
demise of Mahmood Abdullah Shabuti Sahib of Yemen, who
was a Murabbī Silsila. Huzoor (May Allāh be his Helper)
spoke of the deceased’s services for the Jamā‘at and announced that he would lead his
funeral prayer in absentia after the Jumu‘a.

Writings of the Promised Messiah (as)
God’s Treatment of People Loyal to HIM
Indeed, All-Powerful and All-Mighty is the God Whose devotees will not
go waste; those who come to Him with love and loyalty. The enemy
boasts that he will annihilate them with his evil and ill-intentioned
vows to stamp them out. Fools, say God, will you dare fight me and annihilate the one who is dear to Me? Indeed, nothing can happen on
this earth unless it is so decreed in heaven, and no earthly hand can be
stretched beyond the tether determined for it in heavens. Hence the
plotters of evil and cruel designs are most foolish who, during their abhorrent and shameless conspiracies, do not remember that Supreme
Being without Whose express decree not a leaf is permitted to fall.
Therefore, they remain unsuccessful and frustrated in their objectives;
and the rightly guided are not harmed by their evil. Instead, the signs of
God are widely manifested and people’s understanding of God’s ways
is enhanced. That All-Powerful and Mighty God Who remains unseen by
the eyes manifests Himself indeed through His wondrous ways. (Kitabul
Bariyya, Muqaddama: Roohani Khaza’in, Vol. 13, pp. 19-20)
God is the light of the heavens and the earth. Every light that is seen,
be it high or low, whether it belongs to souls or pertains to bodies, or
be it substantive or attributive, whether hidden or evident, be it subjective or objective, it is a mere bounty of His Grace. This is a sign which
indicates that the bounties of Allah encompass everything. He is the
source of all Grace and is the ultimate cause of every light, the Fountainhead of all mercies. His Being is the support of the universe and is
the refuge of all, high and low. He it is Who brought everything out of
the darkness of nothingness and bestowed upon everything the mantle
of being. No being other than He exists by itself or is eternal. All other
beings are recipients of His grace. Earth and heaven, man and beast,
stones and trees, souls and bodies, all are sustained by His Grace.

NATIONAL PEACE SYMPOSIUM 2014
Muslim Leader calls for urgent Action against Extremism
On 8 November 2014, the World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Fifth Khalifa, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA delivered the keynote address at the 11th National Peace Symposium hosted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK.
During his address, His Holiness categorically condemned the activities of ISIS and other extremists
groups as “entirely un-Islamic” and said they were “viciously spreading a network of terror” in
the world.
Quoting extensively from the Holy Quran, His Holiness proved Islam to be a religion of peace that
promoted tolerance, mutual respect and understanding at all levels of society. His Holiness also
questioned how extremist groups such as ISIS were funded and supported.
The event was held at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London with an audience of more than 1000 people,
including 550 non-Ahmadi guests comprising Government Ministers, Ambassadors of State, Members
of both Houses of Parliament and various other dignitaries and guests. The theme of this year’s
Peace Symposium was “Khilafat, Peace and Justice”.
During the event, His Holiness also presented Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, Founder andCEO Mary’s
Meals UK, with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Prize for the Advancement of Peacein recognition of his outstanding efforts to provide food and education to hundreds of thousands of children in the developing world.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA began his address by speaking of the increasing threat of terrorism
and extremism in today’s world.

Waqfe Nau Newsletter USA
NATIONAL PEACE SYMPOSIUM CONTINUED...
Hazrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA said:
“Over the past year, one particular group has
viciously spread its network of terror and has
become a cause of major concern for the
world. I am speaking of the group of extremists
commonly known as ‘ISIS’ or ‘I.S.’ The actions
of this terrorist group are not only impacting
Muslim countries, but also countries in Europe
and further afield are also being affected by its
brutalities.”
Hazrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA said it was highly
“disturbing” that hundreds of Muslim youths from all parts of the world were being attracted by ISIS
and were going to Syria and Iraq to fight for them. His Holiness said: “the agenda and objectives of
ISIS and their so-called Khalifa are utterly horrific and barbaric”.
His Holiness said that ISIS had a vision to “take over the world” which he classed as“wishful thinking”. Nonetheless, His Holiness said that if ISIS was not “stopped in its tracks” it could cause great
destruction in the world.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA said:
“Consider just how much suffering and ruin can be caused by an extremist group, which is
gathering together frustrated and restless people
from all parts of the world who are ready to give
their lives for this unjust cause…
This is especially true given the fact that this group
(ISIS) does not just have willing individuals but is
also heavily armed with sophisticated weapons systems and artillery. Indeed, it is not out of the question that they could eventually lay their hands on
nuclear weapons.”
Hazrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA continued:
“When all of this is considered there is no doubting
the horrific threat to the world posed by ISIS and
any of the groups that have similar ideologies. The
fact that all of this is being done in the name of Islam sincerely grieves and pains all true and peace
loving Muslims because such brutal and inhumane
ideologies have nothing to do with the religion whatsoever. Rather, in every way, and at every level, Islam’s real teachings are of peace and security for all
people.”

The Blessed Waqfe Nau Scheme
An introduction to the enrollment process
Hafiz Samiullah Chaudhary, National Secretary Waqfe Nau, USA
The blessed scheme of Waqf-e-Nou was launched under divine
guidance by Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV Rahemahullhu Ta`ala
on April 3rd, 1987 in his Friday Sermon. Hudhur Rahemahullhu
Ta`ala announced the scheme for two years until the completion
of the first Ahmadiyya Muslim Centenary, but Hadhur
(Rahemahullhu Ta`ala) later extended it for another two years
so that it covers the junction of two centuries of Ahmadiyyat.
Later, in 1989, Hudhur Rahemahullhu Ta`ala turned it into a permanent scheme for the dedication of life to Jama`at Ahmadiyya.
The purpose of this blessed scheme was to present our future
born children as a thanks giving to Almighty Allah at the completion of the first century of Ahmadiyyat and her junction with the
second century. It was divinely revealed to Hudhur
(Rahemahullhu Ta`ala) that the next century of Ahmadiyyat
would require a large number of devoted members of the
Jama`at to spread the message of Islam all over the world.
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih IV Rahemahullhu Ta`ala announced in
his Friday Sermon of April 3, 1987;
“I thought that I will convince the whole Jama`at that as we
are trying to increase our spiritual progeny before the next century through propagation, we
should also offer our yet to be born children as Waqifeen in the cause of Allah, right now and
we should pray O Allah! Give us a son but if You have decreed to give us a daughter then we
offer our daughter to You. Ma Fee Batanee – whatever is in my womb. This should be the
prayer of the mothers and the fathers should pray in the words of Hadhrat Ibraheem Alaihis
Salam: ‘O Allah! Let our progeny be among Your elect servants so that they may be entirely
dedicated to you’. So that a magnificent army of Waqifeen children, who are willing to relinquish this world, should enter the next century as the slaves of God of Hadhrat Muhammad
Sallahu Alaihe WaSallam the Messenger f Allah. we should be offering young children as gifts
to Allah.
This Waqf is urgently needed. In the next hundred years Islam will spread widely and we will
need millions of trained slaves, who should be slaves to the God of Hadhrat Muhammad Sallahu Alaihe WaSallam. We need large number of Waqifeen`e Zindagee from every class of the
society and from every country”.
Jama`at Ahmadiyya has already started to witness the beneficial effects of this scheme as a number
of dedicated workers have started to serve the noble cause of Islam. In the USA, we have also started
seeing the fruits of this blessed scheme. Our first Waqf-e-Nou, Murrabi Talha Ali Sahib, having graduated from Jamia Ahmadiyya, Canada and completed the Markaz training requirements, is now in the
service of the Jama`at and stationed at American Fazal Mosque in Washington, D.C.

The Blessed Waqfe Nau Scheme Continued...
A question which is commonly asked is how to enroll a child in the blessed scheme of Waqf-e-Nou
and what procedure they should follow. Sometimes I receive inquiries to send a Waqfe Nau enrollment forms? The answer is; there are no enrollment forms for this scheme. For the guidance of parents, the procedure is briefly described as follows:
1- The parents should ponder over it deeply and make a joint decision to dedicate their future child with prayers that may Allah accept their noble desire and enable them to bring up
their future generation up to the teaching of Islam.
2- The parents themselves should write a letter to Hadhrat Kalifatul Masih V Ayyada'hullahu
Ta'ala Be'Nasrihil Azeez, clearly expressing their desire that they wish to dedicate their
child to be born in the blessed scheme of Waqf-e-Nou. Applications from other members of
the family (aunts, uncles and grandparents) are not accepted. Ideally, the request should
be signed by both the parents, i.e. husband and wife, giving their full postal address.
3- It must be noted that children after their birth are not included in this scheme, so the application must be made prior to the birth of a child.
4- In due course, you will receive an acceptance letter from Central Waqf-e-Nou office, London, sent on behalf of Hudhur Ayyada'hullahu Ta'ala Be'Nasrihil Azeez. The reply comes
with a form which has a temporary reference number. This document is very important
and must be kept safe, and is evidence of your intention to dedicate the child.
5- The form must be returned to the Central Waqf-e-Nou office in London, after the birth, taking great care that it is duly completed, otherwise it will be sent back, causing unnecessary
delay in receiving the final letter of acceptance.
6- On receiving the Waqf-e-Nou form, the Central Office in London will issue a permanent
Waqf-e-Nou Number or Hawala number. Without this reference number, no child is considered to be a member of the Waqf-e-Nou scheme. No local or national Jama`at is permitted to include children in their list or database without this final reference number.
7- It must be noted that if the form is not returned to the Waqf-e-Nou central office in London,
a child may not be included in this scheme at a later age.
8- When parents have received the letter with the Waqf-e-Nou number, they should contact
the National Secretary (via Email at [email protected]) and give a copy to the local
secretary Waqf-e-Nau of their Jama`at. First the national office will create an entry into the
National
Waqf-e-Nou database and then their local secretary will continue to update the current
information as it changes. You will start receiving Emails from our department and information about upcoming Waqf-e-Nau programs/ events and quarterly newsletter Nawa'e
Waqfe Nau – USA, etc.
9- The parents must keep the central Waqf-e-Nou department in London, as well as the local
Waqfe Nau Newsletter USA
Page 14
The Blessed Waqfe Nau Scheme Continued...
and national Jamaat, informed if there is any change in their postal address.
10- It is advisable to make a folder and keep all records safe for future use with various updates and educational progress of the child.
11- The parents are advised to study various Friday sermons on Waqf-e-Nou and also attend
all various local meetings and events held for Waqifeen.
12- There is an approved Waqf-e-Nou syllabus by the Markaz up to the age of 21, which is
mandatory to be followed by ALL Waqifeen and its teaching is the prime responsibility of
the parents. The syllabus is available both in Urdu and English languages in hard copies
but easily available on our own website at www.WaqfeNau.us.
13- In addition to our National website, there is an International Waqf-e-Nou website http://
www.Waqf-e-Nou.org monitored by Wakalat'e Waqfe Nau, Rabwah to guide Waqifeen'e
Nau, their parents and Waqfe Nau secretaries.
14- The parents must fully take the responsibility of their Waqf-e-Nou children's education and
training, both secular and religious, to the level that these children will in turn present themselves for the service of Islam-Ahmadiyyat.
15- These Waqifeen are expected to express their willingness to dedicate on their own accord
at the age of 15 and then again when they reach the age of 18. The Re-Dedication/ Reconfirmation forms are available from the local, regional and national Waqf-e-Nou office
and in addition very easily accessible from our website www.WaqfeNau.us.
16- It must be remembered that the sole purpose of this scheme is to serve the cause of Islam.
Therefore, it is expected of all the Waqifeen to present themselves to the service of Jamaat
after completion of their studies.
17- Every important matter of our life begins and ends with prayers, therefore, prayers for our
own Waqfe Nau children that we have dedicated is a must on a constant basis. It is the
power of the prayers that is going to help us fulfill our responsibilities towards the blessed
cause of serving Islam by these special members of our families under the divine guidance
of Khilafat`e Ahmadiyya, Insha`Allah.
All Jama`at members are requested to pray for the success of this blessed scheme all over the world
and special prayers are requested for the Waqifeen in the USA who are studying in various fields and
getting ready for the service of Islam Ahmadiyyat. May Allah Ta'ala make them successful and useful
members of the community and servants of humanity under the flag of Islam Ahmadiyyat. Above all,
they become Sultan`e Naseer of the Institution of Khilafat and the delight of the eyes of Khalifa of the
time, Insha`Allah,

Poem by Dania Ahmad (Austin, Texas)
Allah is the Master of immense grace.
On whoever He wishes, He bestows His grace.
A life full of good things is His grace.
A healthy mind and a healthy body is His grace.
Air, food, water and light is His grace.
Everything that sustains life is His grace.
A caring family and loving siblings is His grace.
A warm, cozy, comforting, protected home is His
grace.
Sparkling stars and spinning planets scattered across
space,
mountains, valleys, forests, desserts, oceans--all are
His grace.
Holy Prophet (saw) as a universal prophet is His
grace.
Holy Quran as a complete guide is His grace.
Promised Messiah (as) to keep us on the right track is
His grace.
Khulafa to guide us every day is His grace.
We are born as Ahmadi Muslim is His grace.
Let us thank Allah for all His grace.
Poem by Yasir Khan (York/Harrisburg, PA)
When there were no rules in the world, the prophets came, the prophet
came. When the Arabs did the wrong, the prophet came the prophet
came. When the females were buried, the prophets came, the prophets
came. When the Arabs got confused, the prophet came, the prophet
came.
The prophet came, the prophet came. When the prophet came there
was peace in the world. The prophets came, the prophets came. When
the prophet came there was peace in the world for the woman, there
was peace for men, peace for the young, and peace in the world

Guidance for Arranging
Independent Waqfe Nau Classes
Asslamo Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,
Regarding the issue of whether local Waqfe Nau classes are to be held by or within "Tahir Academy", this is to
clarify/reiterate certain directions that has been explained in our national teleconferences held by respected National Secretary Waqfe Nau USA.

Waqfe Nau classes conducted / organized by Waqfe Nau secretaries should be held independently,
in addition to Waqifeen meeting their all other obligations as required by their respective Jama'ats
and auxiliaries.

Independent Waqfe Nau classes are part of Tehrek-e Waqfe Nau and attending Tahir Academy is
not a substitute for local Waqfe Nau classes organized by the Waqfe Nau dept.

It was explained that within Tehreek-e Waqfe Nau, holding Waqfe Nua Classes are compulsory and
carry their individual identity. Waqfe Nau classes are known worldwide for their independent identity. Huzure (aba) himself holds stand alone Waqfe Nau classes, and Waqfe Nau dept is answerable / responsible for preparation and class arrangements.

As in several other Waqfe Nau administrative matters, Waqfe Nau syllabus - created by Wakalt-e
Wafe Nau is also international in it's scope. While other auxiliary and Jama'at syllabi are created
locally, and are country-based, Waqfe Nau syllabus teaching instructions are already prepared by
Markaz and distributed from London.

Waqfe Nau syllabus is different in many ways. Waqfe Nau syllabus is quite strenuous when compared with similar age groups in other auxiliaries and, as such, it require different stress / time management. Trying to fit it in the middle of another jama'at program will be detrimental to Weqfe Nau
education and testing system underway.
The reporting of all matters about local Waqfe Nau classes continues to be only to the local Jamā'at President
and National Waqfe Nau dept.
In the end, as it has been reiterated in Waqfe Nau conference calls, identifiably stand-alone Waqfe Nau classes
need to be held - as required by Tehrik-e Waqfe Nau - in local Jama'ats
If any questions, kindly feel free to contact me.
