385 ‘Majlise Musian’ and Waqf-e-Arzi’ “The Musis (subscribers to The Will) have a deep and abiding interest in learning, being illuminated by, and being the recipients of the blessings of the Holy Qur’an, as well as being responsible for the spread of its radiance. I have thus decided that the teaching of the Holy Qur’an and ‘waqf-e-arzi’ drives will be integrated with the organisation of Musis. Today, in the name of Allah and trusting in His blessings, I am initiating the organisation of Musis. All Jama’ats having Musis should have a ‘ Majlis’ (an organisation) for them. This ‘ Majlis’, with mutual consultation, should elect its own President, who will be the Secretary Wasaya in the Jama’at. In addition to getting ‘wasiyyats’ , the elected President will be responsible for arranging gatherings of Musis from time to time as directed by the Centre. In these gatherings the responsibilities of the Musis will be pointed out, the responsibilities of those who are heirs to Allah’s bounties and blessings. ” (Friday Sermon 5 th August 1966; Al-Fazl 10 th August 1966) ‘Waqf-e-Arzi’, The Holy Quran and The System of Wasiyyat “The Scheme of ‘waqf-e-arzi’ mainly launched for learning the Holy Quran is associated deeply with the Scheme of wasiyyat. ” (Friday Sermon 5 th August 1966)
