166 Giving guidance about male classmates, Huzoor Anwar atba said: “If at times you need to ask something related to your studies, you can ask. You may participate in class discussions etc. Besides this, you should not have any type of interaction with them. This should not happen that you first speak to them about studies and then start going out with them on various occasions like picnics etc. , this is not allowed at all. ” (Class Waqfaat-e-Nau Germany held on August 14, 2008 at Baitul Rashid Mosque, Hamburg, Al-Fazl International, September 12, 2008) The class of Waqfaat-e-Nau girls in Germany was held in Baitus Subuh Mosque, Frankfurt. In this class, Huzoor Anwar atba gave important guidance to girls. He said: “As compared to other girls, a Waqf-e-Nau girl has a distinct and special place. She should always remember that she has to keep herself safe from all vices and vain pastimes and has to follow what Allah has commanded. The way you are sitting here today with your heads covered should not be insincere, it should not involve hypocrisy. When you go out, go to stores, shopping, for an excursion, older girls should also then have on their heads a scarf, , or Dupatta; your example will be beneficial for others. You are the cream of the girls of the Jamā‘at, therefore, remember that position too. Keep in mind that you have a special status and always safeguard it. Every Ahmadi girl has her own honour which she should safeguard, but a Waqf-e-Nau girl should excel in taking care of herself, being punctual in prayers, in the recitation of the Holy Qurān, in acting upon its teachings and in avoiding all vain pastimes, which include inappropriate fashions as well. I mentioned this in Hamburg and here too, that the girls who have reached maturity, wear coats for the sake of Purda. The coat should not be clinging to the body, instead it should be a little loose with sleeves up to the wrists. This will reflect that you are different from others. Always pay attention to all these points and focus on your studies. ”
