An Introduction to Financial Sacrifice — Page 109
109 bringing about this zeal for financial sacrifice can never be overlooked. " 126 As to how and how much one should participate in Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d , Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IV rh said: "The philosophy of Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d , as put forth by Hadrat Fa d l-e-‘Umar, is that we should try to save money in every way, and offer as much as we can in the way of Allah. Every Ahmad i should protect himself against sin and seek Allah’s forgiveness. " 127 STAGES OF TA H R I K-E-JAD I D Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d was founded in 1934. At first it was a temporary scheme, but after ten years, having vision of its nature and importance, Hadrat Mu s leh Ma‘ u d ra extended it farther. Thus, the first ten years were named as ' Daftar I ' and it consists of approximately five thousand members. Regarding the Dafaatar of Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d , Hadrat Mu s li h Ma‘ u d ra has said: "I have decided that Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d should be organized in such a manner that each Daftar should be divided into two terms …the duration of each should be nineteen years. People who come afterwards should continue to participate in these 19 year terms. I do not want to change this period because of the wisdom which lies in the figure 19, as put forth by me. " 128 Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d has so far been divided into the following Dafatar: 1. Daftar I : consists of Muj a hid i n from 1934 — 1944 2. Daftar II : consists of Muj a hid i n from 1944 — 1965 3. Daftar III : consists of Muj a hid i n from 1965 — 1985 4. Daftar IV : consists of Muj a hid i n from 1985 — 2004 126 Friday Sermon October 25, 1985. 127 Friday Sermon, November 5, 1993. 128 Friday Sermon, November 27, 1953.
