Waqf-e-Jadid is a scheme initiated by Hazrat Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad (ra) in 1957, and was launched to spread Islam and Ahmadiyyat in remote areas of Pakistan. The scheme was initially only for the Ahmadis of Pakistan but was made world-wide by Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (rh) later. The primary objective of this project was to look after the spiritual upbringing of the members living in rural communities.
