An Introduction to Financial Sacrifice — Page x
x Today the call of the Messenger can be heard through Hadrat Khalifatul Masih , who invites us to offer sacrifices in the form of Zakat, H i ss a A mad , Chanda ‘ A m , Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d , Waqf-e-Jad i d and in the form of other charities. How fortunate, therefore, is the person who offers a small portion of his belongings for the sake of Allah and inherits everlasting life. This Movement has been established by the special will of Allah for the propagation of Islam and in order to reform His creatures. This movement, by His grace, is progressing at an accelerating speed and more and more funds are needed at every step. Members of the Jam a ‘at are therefore required to participate in financial sacrifice more than ever. Those who answer the call of the Promised Messiah as and spend their belongings in the cause of Allah, and the office bearers who have been appointed by the Markaz for collecting these funds as well as those who oversee them, should all be made aware of the Jam a ‘ats financial system, its importance and the procedures relating to it. The office-bearers are requested not only to follow the instructions contained in this booklet, but they should also urge other members of the Jam a ‘at to make use of it. We pray that may Allah accept our financial sacrifices and bestow upon us the blessings, which the Promised Messiah as and his Successors have beseeched for such people.
