And the case of those who spend their wealth to seek the pleasure of Allah and to strengthen their souls is like the case of a garden on elevated ground. Heavy rain falls on it so that it brings forth its fruit twofold. And if heavy rain does not fall on it, then light rain suffices. And Allah sees what you do. [2:266] The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa said Hazrat Abu Huraira ra reported Allah s messenger, Hazrat Muhammad sa stating that Allah, the Almighty says: "Spend with an open heart, Allah will spend upon thee." (Sahih Muslim Kitabul Zakat)

2 Page 2 WEALTH CAN ONLY BE GAINED BY THE WILL OF ALLAH "It goes without saying, that you cannot love two things at the same time: it is not possible for you to love wealth as well as to love Allah. You can love only one of them. Lucky is he who loves Allah. If any of you loves Him and spends his/her wealth in His cause, I am certain that his/her wealth will increase more than that of others, for wealth doesn t come by itself, rather it comes by Allah s will. Whoever parts with some of his wealth for the sake of Allah, will surely get it back. But he who loves his wealth and doesn t serve in the way of Allah as he should, will surely lose his wealth. Do not ever imagine that your wealth comes of your own effort, no, it comes from Allah Almighty. And do not ever imagine that you do a favour to Allah or his Appointed One by offering your money or helping in any other way. Rather it is His favour upon you that he calls you to this service." [Majmua h Ishtaharat, volume 3, p ] Waqf Jadīd Waqf Jadīd was founded in 1957 by Hazrat Khalīfatul Masīh II ra The aim of this scheme is to provide education and training to rural Jamā ats, as well as to take the message of Tauhid to idol worshippers. At first, it was limited to Pakistan, but Hazrat Khalīfatul Masīh IV rh later made it international. Regarding this scheme, Hazrat Khalīfatul Masīh II ra said: "This is the undertaking of Allah, and He Himself will complete it. Since it is Allah Almighty who has put this inspiration in my heart, I shall endeavor to fulfill it even if I have to sell my house and my clothes to do so and even if not a single person assists me. Allah shall cut them off from the Jamā at who are not helping me in this regard and will send down angels from heaven to help me." ہللا کے نام کے ساتھ جو بے انتہا رحم کرنے واال ب ن مانگے دینے واال )اور( بار بار رحم کرنے واال ہے [Friday Sermon, January 5, 1958]
