Career Planning Workshops
March 17 and March 18, 2012
The National Waqfe Nau department held its annual East Coast Career Planning and Rededi-
cation workshops in Masjid Baitur Rahman, Silver Spring, MD and Masjid Baitul Huda, Long Island, NY
on March 17th and 18th respectively.
The aim of these workshops is to provide high school and older Waqfe Nau students with infor-
mation on the various careers recommended for Waqifeen and advice on how to get in to college and
further professional training. In addition we remind Waqifeen on the directions of Hadhrat Khalifatul Ma-
sih (atba) regarding rededication by Waqifeen to the blessed scheme of Waqfe Nau at the appropriate
milestones in their life and career development.
This year's event was reformatted to be highly interactive and personalized. Instead of presenta-
tions and speeches, the main part of the program was devoted to individualized career counseling. A
number of current college students (both Waqfe Nau and non-Waqfe Nau) as well as professionals held
10 to 15 minute one-on-one counseling sessions with the participating Waqifeen. The younger students
had the opportunity to directly ask the counselors any questions they wanted to be about their counsel-
ors specialty, profession or career decisions. At the end of each 15 minute session the Waqifeen rotated
to a different counselor.
We were blessed with the presence of National Taleem Secretary, Faheem Younus sahib and
his team at the Masjid Baitur Rahman workshop. The Taleem department team were able to provide
valuable tips on college applications and information regarding internships and work experience.
At the Long Island workshop we were graced with the participation of Naib Ameer, Maulana
Daud Hanif sahib, and Sadr Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya, Rizwan Alladin sahib, both of whom were
counselors for the duration of the event. National Secretary Waqfe Nau, Hafiz Samiullah Chaudhary sa-
hib, presided over both day's events, along with his team of Assistant National Secretaries as well Re-
gional and Local Waqfe Nau Secretaries.
Alhamdolillah, the feedback from the Waqifeen who attended was very positive and, Inshallah
this format will be repeated in future workshops.

are old enough to be put under the supervision of the Jama'at, it is the great responsibility of their parents to
groom and adorn them in a befitting manner, so that the wishes of their heart of offering an extraordinary
'sacrifice' to Allah in an appropriately magnificent manner may be realized.
Parents should watch the Waaqifeen closely:
We have, by the grace of Allah, ample time for this new stock of Waaqifeen children. If we neglect
their upbringing and moral training we will be held accountable for it before God. Now, it cannot be said that
these are accidental instances. Therefore, first of all the parents should watch their children closely. And, as
I will explain, they should pay special attention to certain aspects of moral training. If they, God forbid, think
that their child is deviant and not worthy of Waqf, then they should fear God and inform the Jama'at honestly
that they had a sincere intention of presenting a gift to God. Unfortunately the child has these bad habits. If
the Jama'at is still willing to accept him in spite of these habits, they are ready, otherwise the Waqf should
be annulled. Thus, in future, we have to train the Waaqifeene Nau along these lines in a very serious man-
ner.
Importance of inculcating high morals in the children:
As far as high morals are concerned, Waaqifeen should not only possess all the qualities that should
be present in all the members of the Jama'at but they should excel in those qualities. In various sermons, I
have been presenting different programs about morals or high morals. Keep those in mind while training
these children. Briefly, every child in the Waqfe Nau scheme should love truthfulness and hate lying. It
should be as if he was nurtured this hatred (for falsehood) in his infancy. As radiation penetrates an object
entirely, truthfulness should radiate from the loving arms of the father and penetrate the heart of the child.
This means that parents will have to be more truthful than before because parents of all Waaqifeen Nau
might not be at that high level of truthfulness that is required of the true believers (momeneen). So, before
training these children they will have to attend to their own training. They will have to be more cautious and
careful during conversation in their homes and avoid lying even in gossip or jest. They have a sacred ama-
nat (Waqf child) of Allah in their homes. This trust entails some responsibilities that they have to fulfill. So,
from the point of view of truthfulness, the atmosphere in the homes of these children should be immacu-
lately clean and holy.
Arrangements for the education and training of the Waaqifeen Nau:
As far as their education is concerned, teaching them in the Jamia would come later, but from the
beginning these children should be taught the Holy Quran. InshaAllah, the Jama'at will also devise some
programs for this purpose. In any case, the parents should keep in touch with the Jama'at (in this regard).
When children reach the age where they can read the Holy Quran and receive religious education, the par-
ents should contact their local Jama'at or write directly to the Markaz (center) and ask how these children
can be taught excellent recitation and meanings of the Holy Quran. There are two types of qaaree (one who
recites the Holy Quran). There are some who recite well, their voice has charm and phonetically they have
correct pronunciation. But a charming voice alone cannot put life in the recitation. If those who are reciting
do not know the meaning of the Holy Quran then,so to speak they can erect a statue of recitation but they
cannot breathe life into it. Those who recite the Holy Quran with comprehension, with their hearts melting at
the message of the verses being recited and filled with the love of Allah, have the true spirit of recitation. In
the homes of Waaqifeen Nau this aspect of recitation should be stressed upon. Even if you teach less, do
so with translation and explain the meanings. Inculcate in your child the habit of recitation with comprehen-
sion. In order to get the child in the habit of daily recitation of the Holy Quran in the morning, you may have
to teach him to read just the Arabic text for a long period of time. But along with this you should continue to
stress upon him the need to learn its translation and meanings.

REPORT OF WAQFE NAU BOYS’ ANNUAL VISIT TO
JAMIA AHMADIYYA, CANADA
April 6 — 8, 2012 (FRI — SUN)
By Moazzam Ahmad Saqib & Mutwassim Sandhu
Spiritual power isn't some kind of miraculous power, it is a talent born with each of us.
To use spiritual power, one must have a strong mind and the ability to learn and focus.
It should take over your being and come out of your soul. If all we do is worry about
worldly things, then our spiritual power will never progress. Don't let these worldly
things out there scare you from learning. Follow the path ... follow the path to Jamia!
For the past 6 years, a group of Waqfe Nau USA boys have been adventuring to Jamia
Ahmadiyya Canada located in Maple, Ontario, Canada – an institution dedicated to the
cause of Islam in North America and focused on providing specialized education on
Islamic beliefs, history and culture.
Moazzam Ahmad Saqib
Once again, like many years past, Jamia Canada welcomes Waqfe Nau USA group with
open arms. We started the first day of our 2012 Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada trip on Friday April 6 with Fajr prayer in Bai-
tul Islam mosque promptly at 5:35 am. After salaat, we were told that we have to come to the mosque at 8 am to
watch Hudhur’s (ABA) live Friday sermon. It was a sad sermon where Hudhur (ABA) talked about the people who gave
up their lives for Ahmadiyyat. Mainly the sermon was about Shaheed Master Abdul Qudoos – may Allah elevate his
status in paradise. After the sermon, we ate breakfast. The breakfast consisted of different types of cereal, eggs,
toast, juice etc. After we ate breakfast we had time until 12:30 pm to take a shower and get ready for the Friday
prayer. We went back to our assigned sleeping houses and got ready for the Friday prayer. We came back for lunch
around 12:30 pm. The lunch included chicken, rice, bread, etc. After lunch we went to Baitul Islam mosque for the
Friday prayer. After the prayer, we had our opening session in the mosque. We began with the recitation of the Holy
Quran. All the U.S.A youth introduced themselves to the other elders. Maulana Mubarak Nazir sahib, missionary in-
charge of Canada was also present at the event. After the introduction we heard from Hafiz Samiullah Chaudhary sa-
hib about what we were going to be doing during the trip. Right after the session, we offered salatul Asr in congrega-
tion. After the prayer, we were told to get ready to play sports in the newly built Tahir hall which is right next to Baitul
Islam mosque. The sports began around 4 pm. We played basketball, badminton and there was one table for ping
pong as well. There was a junior and senior team from both the American and Canadian side.
There were very talented kids from peace village in the junior team. All of them played bas-

ketball very well. The senior team consisted of Jamia stu-
dents. The junior and senior teams from Canada were vic-
torious in the basketball competition. This was the first
time most of the people on the trip got to see Tahir hall. By
the grace of Allah, all the Ahmadis are very fortunate to
have such a place where they can go play various sports
with their Ahmadi brothers. The sports ended at 7 pm. We
went back to the sleeping quarters and took a shower and
got ready for combined Maghrib and Isha prayers which
took place at 8:15 pm.
Subsequently, we went to eat dinner and then all of us were told to go to bed around 10 pm because the next day
was going to be an extremely long day.
On the second day of the trip, Waqfe Nau students were invited to Jamia Canada for a full-fledged tour of the institu-
tion. The day started off early at 7:25 AM with the journey from Peace Village to Mississauga. Future students of
Jamia Canada will not have to worry about this distance as the Jamia Canada campus is moving inside Peace Village
very soon, insha`Allah.
We started off with the Assembly in the Mosque hall and the introduction of the Jamia Faculty. Formal assembly
started with recitation of the Holy Quran and Dars. Attendance is then taken for all the Jamia students. At around
8:45 AM, breakfast was served in the dining hall; a traditional Canadian Jamia breakfast with Nutella, bread, scram-
bled eggs, cereal and croissants – yummy right? Sorry for making
you hungry but let’s move on. Boys with the Waqfe Nau USA
group were then divided into six groups each with one Jamia stu-
dent as the leader.
Then, the interactive session for each group began with the
group leader. You could ask whatever question you wanted an-
swered about Jamia. Some responses of questions asked were:
 “It’s not all study at the Jamia, there is a lot of physical fit-
ness involved as well.”
 “You can apply for Jamia between the ages of 18-21 but once
you're over 21, Hudhur’s (ABA) permission is required”
 “Aisha Academy is a school for ladies who wish to study Islamic subjects, located in Peace Village”
When it comes down to it, the common stereotype that all Jamia students in North America are hardcore preaching
type people is totally wrong. Sure there's a lot of studying involved; let’s be realistic, Jamia isn’t easy and a lot of dedi-
cation is required. But it’s not as if it is all non-stop academics 24x7. The Jamia students are just as normal as every-
one else with just a twist – they have an enhanced spiritual knowledge and power.
After the interactive session, we were given the full tour of Jamia. Jamia Canada’s current building consists of two
floors – the first floor is for Local Jama`at offices alongside the Faculty offices while the second floor is where all the
classrooms are located. We were invited into the classrooms and we took part for a few minutes in various on-going
classes. After the tour of the classes, we went back to the dining hall to have lunch with the Jamia students and fac-
ulty.
Following lunch, we went back to the Mosque hall with all our group and the Jamia students for another session with
the Jamia students. The session started off with Riaz sahib, a first year Jamia student from Kyrgyzstan – a country
where Russian is spoken as the primary language. What was most surprising about the presentation was that Riaz
sahib spoke about Kyrgyzstan Muslims in Urdu. It was amazing to see and hear how well he was speaking considering
he knew not one word of Urdu before joining the Jamia. Then Frasat sahib, also a first year from Jamia student origi-
nally from Queens, New York USA, gave a speech about the “Promised Messiah’s (AS) love
Continued on next page..

Cont’ from previous page for the Holy Prophet (SAW)” in Arabic. Wow!!! I bet you didn’t see that coming fellow New
Yorkers. Basically at Jamia, the students are provided an opportunity to learn Urdu and Arabic and become quite com-
petent in them. Following the Arabic speech, a Waqfe Nau member of the visiting US group, Safwan Akbar sahib of
New Jersey did a speech in English about “What US students
should do to improve and go to Jamia”. It was short but full of
detail and good reason. Last of all we had our US applicant for
Jamia Canada this year from Brooklyn, New York Mozeem Saqib
sahib who did a speech in Urdu about “Why I want to go to
Jamia?” It was a motivational speech and offered much for the
listeners to reflect upon.
At around 1:15 PM, we were coming close to the end of our day
at Jamia. An Urdu poem was beautifully recited by two Jamia stu-
dents at this time to launch us into the final part of the session.
Maulana Mukhtar Cheema sahib gave a speech about his time in
the USA. After him, the Principal of Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada,
Salim Akhtar sahib spoke. After his very informational and motivational speech, Hafiz Samiullah sahib gave his remarks
about Jamia. At 3 PM, combined Zuhr and Asr salaat was offered to conclude the visit to the Jamia Ahmadiyya Can-
ada’s teaching facility.
After this we all headed to Woodbridge to catch some bowling action during the next two hours. By 7PM, we were all
back at Peace Village getting ready for salaat and the scheduled dinner with Respected Amir sahib Canada, National
Amila members of Canada, and Principal sahib.
The next day, we woke up once again for Fajr prayer which was offered in Baitul Islam mosque. After the prayer, we
started packing for our return journey to the US. Following breakfast, we collected in Baitul Islam mosque for a final
collective session with the Waqfe Nau boys from Canada. Respected Amir sahib Canada presided over the session and
offered great advice to those present about learning short
prayers that are easy to recall and recite at all times. Maulana
Mubarak Nazir sahib, National Secretary Waqfe Nau Canada
and National Secretary Waqfe Nau USA Hafiz Samiullah Chaud-
hary sahib also spoke during this short session. At the end,
souvenirs were distributed to the Canadian hosts and volun-
teers as well as the members of the Waqfe Nau US group.
After the conclusion of the last formal session of the trip, we
were provided with boxed lunch as we loaded ourselves and
our luggage into our vans. Silent prayer was offered and the
vans started rolling back towards the USA. Thus, another very
memorable Waqfe Nau USA trip to Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada
came to a beautiful conclusion.
