36 It is usual that a good book always needs a second edition soon after the first. All Praise to God that the second edition of the Urdu version of this book was published in 2005 and a third edition was published in 2006. Useful additions were made to these Editions. However, two things should be specially noted. Firstly, keeping in mind the unmatched glorious sacrifices made by the ‘Darweshani Qadian’, a few extra pages have been added with the title of A Narrative of an Excellent Example of ‘Waqf Zindagi’ and some of the heart-warming events in the life of some ‘Derweshan of Qadian’ have also been included. Secondly, the advice given on the 1 October 2005 by Hadrat Khalifatul Masih V aba to the Waqfe Zindagi students on the occasion of the inauguration of the Jami’a Ahmadiyya U. K has also been included in the book as an invaluable advice for anyone who is serving the Jama’at. These additions have enhanced the effectiveness and usefulness of the book. It is our prayer to Allah the Almighty to bless this publication and accept this effort of Dr Iftikhar Ayaz and reward him abundantly for his services to the Jama’at. May Allah the Almighty also enable the readers to derive maximum benefit from the reading of this book. Perhaps, the best example of such benefit would be to make the children aware of different subjects contained in this book to instil in them the spirit of Waqfe Zindagi so that they can join this blessed group of their own free will. May this book be a source of continuous benefit! Ameen. Ataul Mujeeb Rashed Imam, Fazl Mosque, London. * * * * * *
