118 Waqf-e-Jad i d Waqf-e-Jad i d was founded in 1957 by Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II ra. The aim of this scheme is to provide education and training to rural Jam a ‘ats , as well as to take the message of Tauhid to idol worshippers. It was, at first, limited to Pakistan, but Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IV rh later made it international. About this scheme, Hadrat Khalifatul Masih II ra said: "This is the undertaking of Allah, and He Himself will complete it. Since it is Allah Almighty who has put this inspiration in my heart, I shall endeavour to fulfil it even if I have to sell my house and my clothes to do so and even if not a single person assists me. Allah shall cut them off from the Jam a ‘at who are not helping me in this regard and will send down angels from heaven to help me. " 139 WAQF-E-JAD I D AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF MOTHERS Addressing Ahmad i mothers, Hadrat Khalifatul Masih III rh said: "If all the Ahmad i children who grow up under your care, and whose proper upbringing is your responsibility, were to give full attention to this matter…. But the fact is that this matter has not been given the attention it deserves. You cannot inculcate the importance of Waqf-e-Jad i d among your children unless you yourselves fully realize its importance.
