Waqf-e-Nau Syllabus: A Comprehensive Guide to Education and Training
In the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the Waqf-e-Nau scheme holds a special place, dedicated to nurturing the lives of children devoted to the service of Islam. This article delves into the Waqf-e-Nau syllabus, its objectives, structure, and the various opportunities it offers to young Waqifeen-e-Nau.
The Genesis of the Waqf-e-Nau Scheme
On 3rd April 1987, after receiving Divine guidance, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(rh) called on Ahmadis to devote the lives of their children for the cause of the Community and bring them up in such a way that they would grow up to willingly sacrifice everything for the sake of God. Accordingly, this generation would be able to shoulder the responsibility of the Jama’at [community] in its second century. Recognizing the importance of guiding these children, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(rh) advised Wakalat Waqf-e-Nau to prepare a syllabus for these children as a mean to provide guidance for their education, upbringing and training.
Hazrat Khalifatul Massieh IV (may Allah have mercy on him) and also our present Huzoor, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) delivered a number of Friday Sermons and Addresses to parents and Waqfeen-e-Nau in which they explained the importance of this blessed scheme, the responsibilities of parents, how to bring up these children and the responsibilities of Waqfeen-e-Nau.
Structure and Content of the Syllabus
With the instructions of Huzoor(aba), the newly designed and colourful Waqf-e-Nau syllabus is being published in three parts and is divided in the following age groups. The syllabus serves as a roadmap for their education, upbringing, and training, ensuring they are well-prepared to serve Islam and humanity.
