The Essence of Waqf-e-Nau — Page xi
Foreword This book was originally delivered as a Friday Sermon by Hadrat Khalifatul Masih V aba on October 28th, 2016, and expands on the grand Waqf-e-Nau scheme—its purpose and philosophy. Addressing both these children and the parents who pledged them, H u du r Aqdas aba stresses the true spirit and standards of this institution. When Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IV rta launched this scheme on April 3rd, 1987, in connection with the future W a qf i n-e-Nau, he advised their parents saying, “Get them prepared from their very childhood telling them that you are born at a great time for a wonderful purpose. ” Some three decades later, as we have begun to see the early blessings of this scheme manifest itself, Khal i fa-e-Waqt aba in this book reminds us of the true and original essence behind it.
