The System of Mushawarat in Jama'at-e-Ahmadiyya — Page 395
THE SYSTEM OF MUSHAWARAT IN JAMA‘AT-E-AHMADIYYA ments was not satisfactory, and was in need o f im provement. Hadrat Musleh-e-Mau‘udra thought that it was necessary to look into the work o f the Nazarats, to ascertain whether the instructions were being properly followed. For this purpose, a high-level commission was set up which comprised o f three members. It was re quired to inspect the offices o f the Nazirs according to the following terms o f reference: (i) To see whether the amount allocated to the Nazirs is sufficient to enable them to discharge their responsibili tie s. . . If the money and staff is less than required, the report should recommend an increase. And if the amount of work is less, this too should be mentioned, and the duties o f the Nazirs should be outlined. (ii) The Commission should find out whether or not the Nazarat abides by the guidelines (which have been sanc tioned by the Shura with the approval of Hadrat Khallfatul Masih). Sometimes people do not abide by the laws passed by the state and this encourages people to violate laws. When the workers notice that the Nazarat itself does not abide by the Khalifa’s instruc tions, they do not care for these instructions either. (iii) The Commission should report whether the Nazarats are making serious efforts to implement the decisions of Majlis-e-Shura. (iv) The Commission should also examine if the workers use their authority in a manner that denies other people their rights. 395
