When Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (rta) returned to Rabwah in 1957, Hazrat Musleh Mau’ud (ra) handed him the responsibility of supervising the Waqf-e-Jadid scheme, which had been launched that year. As the director of Waqf-e-Jadid, Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (rta) travelled up and down the country, especially to many rural and remote villages where Ahmadis lived, and personally examined their circumstances. He then planned the method with which to organize, educate, and guide these Ahmadis.
