1 Annual Program Taleem Ul Quran & Waqf E Arzi It is not possible for the believers to go forth all together. Why, then does not a party from every section of them go forth that they become well-versed in religion, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may guard against evil? (9:122) Tells us that teachers have to be created, not students. There is a great difference between these two approaches. There is a difference in educating a child to develop his understanding and to develop him into a teacher. I have mentioned a proposal by one of Hitler s Generals who, when faced with a limit of a German army of 100,000 men, suggested that each soldier be trained as a teacher so that in turn they could train others as soldiers. This scheme became famous and is even mentioned by Churchill in his famous book as an astonishing idea which visibly changed the capability of the Germans, enabling them to create hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of soldiers. This so called brainwave was taught to the Holy Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fourteen hundred years ago and is mentioned in this very verse which says do not train students who gain education but keep it to themselves. Instead, train teachers who, after gaining knowledge of the faith, can return as teachers to their community. (Friday Sermon 11th May 1990, Fazal Mosque, London) Lajna Ima illah Australia

2 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the ever Merciful LAJNAIMAILLAH Women s Auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Australia. 45 Hollinsworth Road, Marsden Park, NSW 2765, Australia Tel: , Fax: March 04, 2017 Dear Sisters Assalam -o- Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatahu RE: DEPARTMENT OF TALEEM UL QURAN & WAQF E ARZI May this letter find you in best of health, Ameen. I am pleased to inform you that to increase the Taleem of Quran, religious knowledge and to activate members to participate in Jamaat activities, the department of Taleem ul Quran and Waqfe Aarzi has been established following the approval from Huzur e Anwar. Allah says in the Holy Quran, Why, then, does not a party from every section of them go forth that they may become well versed in religion (9:122) In light of the directives of Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih III rh, the following are the instructions for Waqfeen-e-Arzi : 1. Spend the days (two to six weeks) that you have devoted in special prayers and remembrance of Allah. 2. The training of the Ahmadi Jama at at the location you are sent to is your first responsibility. Wherever you are sent, pay increased attention to regularity of congregational prayers. Every person must at least be able to read the Arabic text of the Holy Quran. Attention should also be given to translation and interpretation. The recitation of the Holy Quran should become prevalent among children, the young and old, as well as women. 3. Members of the Jama at should be persuaded to participate in Jama at work and particularly to pay their prescribed chandas on time. 4. Lovingly resolve any misunderstanding or tiff between two Ahmadi brothers if it exists, but never involve yourself in local disputes. 5. Pay attention to training and reformation of the members of the Jama at. Progress of Islam depends upon the Reformation of Women. Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih II (RZ)

3 6. Try to be active and take an interest in Jama at work. 8. Inform and invite as many members as possible to join the blessed Scheme of Waqf-e- Arzi. Separate applications on behalf of each member should be made and each application should include the following information: (I) How many weeks are to be devoted? (ii) When and from what date will the applicant be available? (iii) How far can the applicant travel from his residence at his own expense? (iv) Age and Educational level of the applicant. (v) Ability to read the Holy Quran with and without translation. (vi) How many books of the Promised Messiah as has the applicant read? (vii) Has the applicant any experience of preaching or training? (viii) Has the applicant ever been an office holder of the Jama at? 9. Send detailed Weekly Reports to Moavin Sadr Taleem ul Quran and Waqfe Aarzi about your activities. 10. Check the Jama at visited for the existence of a Majlis of Musis (subscribers to the Will) and to see if each Musi is discharging his minimum responsibility of teaching the Holy Quran to at least two members annually. Importance of Waqf-e-Arzi for New Converts Then if one examines new converts despite their sincerity, they lack a deep understanding of the Jama at s beliefs and the practical application of these beliefs. That can only be possible if they are inducted into the Waqf-e-Arzi Scheme. Ahmadi Women and Waqf-e-Arzi Those who go on Waqfe Arzi are grouped in twos. Ahmadi women also participate. They are sent outside only if their husbands, or fathers or brothers accompany them. Otherwise they are asked to function within their own locality to train other women so that in order to please God sisters can forge relations of love with other sisters Students and Waqf-e-Arzi I especially ask students to proceed on waqf-earzi during the summer holidays. Their knowledge will increase and they will strive to be an example for the people they will be interacting with. Their exemplary behaviour will leave a deep impression on others because of their young age. In the same manner, College Professors, lecturers, School Teachers and mature College students should, in their periods of leave, work under this Major tasks to be undertaken by members include enabling the members to read the Holy Qur an and learn its translation. May Allah the Almighty enable all of you to follow the all commandments of Allah and work hard for the Jama at and may He make your humble efforts fruitful, Ameen. Jazakallah. Wassalam, Anjum Khan National President Lajna Imaillah Australia

12 WAQF E ARZI On 18th March, 1966, Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IIIrh, in the Friday Sermon, instituted this drive in the light of increasing responsibilities of Islah-o-Irshad. He also instituted the additional Nazarat Islah-o-Irshad for the teaching of the Holy Quran and Waqfe Arzi. Huzurrh established the office of this new Nazarat in the compound of the Private Secretary s offices, and appointed Maulana Abul Ata Sahibra as Naib Nazir. The Purpose of Waqf-e-Arzi is to teach the Holy Quran Hadrat Khalifatul Masih III rh said: The main purpose of the waqf-e-arzi drive is that members voluntarily and at their own expense go to outlying Jama ats and conduct classes to teach the Holy Quran so that those members in turn become examples for the world. (Friday Sermon 28th March 1969; Printed in Al-Fazl, 14th May 1969) Waqf-e-Arzi is a means of Self-Reformation The second benefit of the Scheme of waqf-e-arzi is that the people proceeding on this Scheme are enabled to examine their weaknesses before they leave and thus are provided with an opportunity to pray for the removal of those weaknesses. They are thus prepared for waqf-e-arzi by gaining more knowledge of the faith through reading religious literature that they intend to take with them. They are motivated to become examples for the people they are getting ready to visit. The groups of waqfe-arzi have benefited greatly from the blessings of prayer.
