Friday Sermon delivered by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IVrh on December 1, 1989 at Fazal Mosque, London.
Give your full attention to the Waaqifeen as should be given to a special thing that is being prepared for an especially magnificent purpose: Their parents should prepare them for Allah with a love greater than the love with which a man prepares a goat or ram that he is going to slaughter as a sacrifice to Allah. What is the jewellery for these children? It is taqwa. They are to be decorated with taqwa. Therefore, it is most important that they should be made muttaqee (righteous) from childhood. Make their environment clean and holy. Do not do anything that will make them dislike religion and become inclined to the world. Give your full attention to them as should be given to a special thing that is being prepared for an especially magnificent purpose. Fill their hearts with taqwa in such a way that instead of playing in your hands they may begin to play directly in the hands of Allah. Just as one entrusts an object to another person, from the very beginning you can entrust them directly to Allah. But the condition is taqwa. Taqwa does not need any intermediaries or other means. Formally, they will belong to the Jama’at and Tehrik-e-Jadid but, in reality, the children whom you will put in the lap of Allah, will be taken care of by Allah. He will supervise and nurture them in the same way as He did the Promised Messiahas. Heas wrote:
