“You cannot attain to righteousness unless you spend out of that which you love” The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 3, Verse 93

First and foremost, the Maal (Finance) department aims to educate Khuddam about the spiritual excellence of financial sacrifice. As is evident from the above verse of the Holy Qur’an, progress on the spiritual plane is impossible without sacrificing what is dear to us and hence the Maal department encourages Khuddam to discard an extreme love of wealth. Huzur [aba] has echoed the importance of this in reforming oneself, advising that Tarbiyyat and Maal are the first most important areas; when these are in place, the others follow.

In addition, the Maal department helps Khuddam to pay their chanda contributions and communicate the prescribed rates as well as coordinating fi nancial matters for Majlis Khuddamul Ahmadiyya.
