This Jami'a is going to take care of the ‘Waqifeene Nau’ youth who have offered to become Missionaries. The membership of the Jama’at is small in other European countries with the exception of Germany and if ever a second Jami'a is opened, it is likely to be in Germany. It has the capacity and the resources to run a Jami’a and also the number of ‘Waqifeene Nau’. It is possible that when the Jami’a in Germany opens, many students from the neighbouring European countries may seek admission there. When Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IV rh announced the Waqfe Nau Scheme, he said that we need hundreds and thousands of ‘Waqifeene Nau’. So far the numbers are in thousands but the way the Jama’at is increasing and the way the attention of the parents is developing in this respect, Insha’Allah the numbers will reach hundreds and thousands. Then, of course, we shall have to open a Jami’a in every country, and this will insha’Allah happen one day. However, those students who have come here now from various countries for the purpose of acquiring religious education in compliance with Allah’s directive that they seek the knowledge of faith, have joined that group which is to teach the faith to others and have vowed to deliver the message of Allah the Exalted to the whole world. They have pledged themselves for that.
