Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih VABA’s Friday Sermon Summary

‘And let there be among you a body of men who should

invite to goodness, and enjoin equity and forbid evil.

And it is they who shall prosper.’ (3:105) ‘It is not possi-

ble for the believers to go forth all together. Why, then,

does not a party from every section of them go forth

that they may gain better understanding of religion, and

that they may warn their people when they return to

them, so that they may guard against evil?’ (9:122) The

above verses speak of wishes of a mother, good upbringing by

father and mother that enhances the spirit of sacrifice in chil-

dren and the objective of dedicating life for the cause of faith.

The first verse (3:36) expresses a mother’s desire to dedicate

her child to faith, the next verse (37:103) mentions a father’s

upbringing of son in the cause of God and the son’s readiness

for sacrifice. The father’s training linked the son with seeking

pleasure of God, who not only was ever ready for sacrifice but

was also prepared to do so displaying an excellent model of

patience and resolve. The third verse cites those groups which

spread good and forbid what is evil and the fourth verse men-

tions that in order to distinguish between good and bad insight into faith is essential. This insight is found in Shariah, the Holy

Qur’an because God has stated that He has: ‘…chosen for

you Islam as religion…’ (5:4) The reason to follow all of the

above is to be among those who save the world from destruc-

tion. In order to fulfil this requirement, God established the

Ahmadiyya Community through the Promised Messiah (on

whom be peace). This is the only community in which one sees

mother-to-be praying passionately as, woman of Imran did in

the aforementioned verse, freeing the unborn child from the

shackles of the world and dedicating it to service of God and

praying for acceptance of this. No mother apart from the

Ahmadi mother today dedicates her unborn child to God, be

she from Pakistan, from India, from Asia, Africa, Europe, Amer-

ica, Australia or Oceania. Who presents her child to the Khalifa

of the time for an important undertaking and then prays to God

to accept the dedication, with the concern lest the Khalifa of

the time does not accept the dedication. This situation cannot

come to pass anywhere else apart from the Jama’at because this

is the only community which operates under the auspices of

Khilafat, established by God through the true and ardent devo-

tee of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on

him). It is the Ahmadiyya Jama’at alone which has fathers who

bring up their children in such a manner that when the children

reach adolescence they are ready for every sacrifice. These

children write to the Khalifa of the time saying, ‘the first pledge

was my parents, I now make the pledge myself; send me to

sacrifice wherever you choose. You will always find me among

those who are patient and who have resolve and those who do

Friday Sermon: Reviving the Spirit of Waqf-e-Nau

Delivered by Hadhrat Mirza Masroor AhmadABA, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

on September 21, 2012

In today’s Friday sermon Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih gave an exposition reviving the Waqfe Nau spirit. He

recited the following Quranic verses at the start of the sermon: ‘Remember when the woman of ‘Imran

said, ‘My Lord, I have vowed to Thee what is in my womb to be dedicated to Thy service. So do accept

it of me; verily, Thou alone art All-Hearing, All-Knowing.’(3:36)

‘And when he was old enough to work with him, he said, ‘O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I

am slaughtering thee. So consider, what thou thinkest of it!’ He replied, ‘O my father, do as thou art

commanded; thou wilt find me, if Allah please, of those who are patient.’ (37:103)

not shirk away from the pledge of their parents.’ These children

qualify to be members of Ummah of Muhammad (peace and

blessings of Allah be on him) who fulfil the dues of being in the

Ummah of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on

him). Good upbringing by the parents and their own piety has

taught them the aspects of dues of God as well as dues of man-

kind, and they have passion for Tabligh and service for humanity.

It should always be remembered that living and progressive com-

munities do not ever let these thoughts, pledges and fervour die.

They constantly remind themselves of these aspects in order to

keep the fervour invigorated. If there is ever any laxness, they

make plans to overcome it and in light of God’s commandment

of: ‘So go on reminding…’ (87:10) it is indeed the task of the

office of Khilafat to remind time to time so that there is no re-

duction in the speed of progress. So that one after the other

group is prepared to spread God’s message in the world just as

constantly flowing streams make the land green and verdant, one

group after the other can be source of spiritual vibrancy. Those

who are familiar with farming with irrigation will know that if the

water supply is cut off before the entire crop is watered the irri-gation has to be started all over again. This causes waste of time

and water. Similarly, if there is no constant effort in the task of

Tabligh or people to perform the task are not available, the frag-

mented efforts create hindrances. Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih said

that today he would like to remind that when Hadhrat Khalifatul

Masih IV (may Allah have mercy on him) had initiated Waqfe Nau

scheme it was with the hope and with the prayer that groups of

people to serve faith will always be available and that the current

of flowing water will never be broken. Translators will be avail-

able to the Jama’at, Tabligh and Tarbiyyat workers will be avail-

able to the Jama’at in good numbers, and other departments of

the administration of the Jama’at will also have life-devotees avail-

able at all times. This should be kept in mind. Parents should not

relinquish their responsibility after dedicating their children [to

Waqfe Nau]. Without doubt the passion to dedicate one’s chil-

dren is commendable and each year thousands of requests are

made to dedicate children. However, once the dedication has

been made, the parents’ responsibility increases. The initial

preparation has to be done by the parents. By being a role model

for their children, they have to connect them to God and to

inculcate the significance and importance of Nizam e Jama’at (the

administration of the Community) in them from an early age so

that their minds are not diverted. So that when they reach an age

of understanding and participate in Jama’at programmes it is in-

grained in them that they are to only serve faith. It is required to

inculcate in Waqfe Nau children that they are to serve faith. Please Visit ALISLAM.ORG FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMARY
