Kaamyabi ki Raahain 2. Minhaaj ul Taalibain 3. Allah ki Baatain (vol. 1&2) 4. Bachon ki Parwarish 5. Waaqfeen-e-Nau (for the guidance of the parents) 6. Konpal 7. Ghuncha 8. Gul ♦ Tell the child that he/she is a Mujahid of Waqf-e-Nau, and that he / she is a good and God-fearing child. ♦ Allow the child to possess some appropriate materials and encourage him / her to give away some of them to others. This will spur the urge to give sadqa and charity and will develop the quality of helping kinsfolk and the needy. In the same manner, inculcate the qualities of cooperation and dignity of labour. ♦ Instead of letting him / her play alone, get him/her into the habit of playing in your presence. ♦ Keep praying for the child regularly; especially say the following prayer: Our Lord, grant us of our spouses and children the delight of our eyes and make each of us a leader for the righteous. (25:75) “We shall be in need of hundreds of thousands of well-trained Waaqfeen-e- Nau children for the worldwide spread of Islam in the second century of Ahmaddiyat. ” (Friday Sermon, April 3, 1987, Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IV rh )
