Means
of Our Progress
||
1. Our
Work:
|
|
To prepare resources of
Islamic knowledge, to produce translations of the
Holy Quran in different languages of the world, and
to spread them throughout the world.
|
2.
Distinctive Features of our Jama'at:
|
1.
|
|
The aim of our lives is the
propagation of Islam.
|
|
2.
|
|
To make sacrifices of one's
person and possessions for this end.
|
|
3.
|
|
To learn about Islam and its
history, and about other faiths.
|
|
4.
|
|
To follow the teachings of
Islam and respect its institutions.
|
|
5.
|
|
To show tolerance and
broad-mindedness in the propagation of Islam, and
to have love for Muslims.
|
|
6.
|
|
To respect and honour the
service of Islam.
|
3. Our
System of Organisation:
|
1.
|
|
We all follow one call and
respect that call.
|
|
2.
|
|
That call is the call of the
consensus of the Jama'at, from which no
individual should deviate.
|
|
3.
|
|
The financial system is that
all members must:
|
|
|
|
|
a.
|
|
give two-thirds of
their zakat to the
Jama'at,
|
|
b.
|
|
pay out of their
income one anna for every
rupee
(The Rupee is the currency in
Pakistan and India, and was divided into
16 annas at the time of
writing.) as
contributions, and
|
|
c.
|
|
donate towards
specially arising needs.
|
|
|
4.
|
|
To respect and honour one
another, think well of one another, and also hold
the leaders to account.
|
|
5.
|
|
To take such a close interest
in the work of the community so as to give it
precedence over personal business.
|
4. Means of
Our Progress:
|
1.
|
|
The zeal and fervour of faith
created in us by the Promised Messiah, due to his
spiritual power, must be ever on the
increase.
|
|
2.
|
|
To meet one another. To visit
the centre, Lahore, and to attend the annual
gathering is essential. In your own towns and
cities, apart from the Friday gathering, there
should be another day fixed for coming together and
discussing some religious topic.
|
|
3.
|
|
Dars of the Holy Quran
(talks explaining meanings of some part of the
Quran) must be conducted regularly.
|
|
4.
|
|
We must keep up study of the
literature of the Movement and its
periodicals.
|
|
5.
|
|
Our children's education, so
far as possible, should be at the Muslim High
School (This
was a school founded and run by the Anjuman in
Lahore.).
|
|
6.
|
|
The poor, needy, fatherless
children and widows should be looked
after.
|
|
7.
|
|
Marriages should take place
among ourselves.
|
|
8.
|
|
When we notice something
which requires rectification or improvement, it is
our duty to inform the Centre about it.
|
|
9.
|
|
We must be concerned about
extending the Jama'at in size. We must
propagate the message of this Movement to our
relatives, and then to others. We must ensure that
our wives and children take the
bai'at.
|
|
10.
|
|
Giving up wrong
customs.
