An Introduction to Financial Sacrifice — Page 114
114 "How can one be considered dead whose Chanda continues to be paid? We have to reorganise Daftar I. I want this Daftar to continue till the Last Day. The names of those who have once made exemplary sacrifices for the faith should never be forgotten. Their descendants should continue to pay Chanda on their behalf, and never should we say that even one of them is dead. They are alive in the sight of God and are also living in the form of their sacrifices. We should continue to witness the signs of their life in this world as well. " 136 REVIVAL OF THE ACCOUNTS OF MUJ A HID I N DAFTAR I Hadrat Khalifatul Masih V at also urged the Jam a ‘at to revive the accounts of mujahideen Daftar I , he said: "You do not need to be disheartened as to how you will manage to revive such old accounts. Try to revive them from as far as you can, and then witness how Allah's blessings descend upon you. As these blessings keep increasing, your capacity in this regard shall increase likewise, so much so that you will even wish to maintain continuity and to make sure that no year has passed without payment…. You must, therefore, attend to your own sacrifices as well as to those of your parents. Move forward quickly and be rewarded by the prayers of Angels, so that these blessings can pass on to your children as well. These prayers will be the greatest treasure you will leave behind for your progeny. " 137 INSTRUCTIONS 1. The Ta h r i k-e-Jad i d year begins on 1 st November and ends on 31 st October. 2.
