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. 6. Try to be active and take an interest in Jama’at work. 7. Prepare your own food. If under severe constraint, hire someone to cook for you even if your relatives present offer to do so.
