As you may already be aware the Tahrik-e-Jadid year end is fast approaching (31st October) and it is our beloved Huzur’s (atba) wish that every Khadim and Tifl steps forward to participate in this blessed scheme.
 
The History of Tahrik-e-Jadid
 
The blessed scheme of Tahrik-e-Jadid was launched by Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih II (ra) on 23rd November 1934 to facilitate propagation of the message of Ahmadiyyat throughout the world. The scheme has been instrumental in establishing missions and mosques in over one hundred countries. Under Divine inspiration and guidance, Hadhrat Musleh Maud (ra) initiated Tahrik-e-Jadid, concerning which he said:
 
“The purpose of launching Tahrik-e-Jadid is to acquire such a fund with which Allah’s message can be delivered as far as the corners of the earth with ease and facility.”
 
Initially the scheme was set-up on a temporary basis. However, by 27th November 1953, the scheme was made permanent by Hadhrat Musleh Maud (ra). Today, through the blessings of this scheme, the Jama’at has been established in over 178 countries. More than 13,000 mosques have been built and 740 missions have been established around the world. Moreover, at present hundreds of missionaries are working to propagate the message of true Islam.  
 
How much should I contribute?
 
Since this is not a compulsory chanda each individual has to decide for himself the amount of sacrifice he is going to make for this blessed scheme. 
 
Therefore, if you have not already done so you are urged to contact your local Presidents and fulfil your promises for this blessed scheme as soon as possible. The framework of Tahrik-e-Jadid as outlined by Hadhrat Musleh Maud (ra) involved far more than simply making financial sacrifice. In fact there were also 19 injunctions that had to be followed in order to lead a moral, spiritual and fulfilling life.
