The System of Wasiyyat
A voluntary pledge of personal, financial and spiritual sacrifice, established by the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, through his booklet Al-Wasiyyat (The Will) in 1905.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٰلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةَ
“Surely, Allah has purchased of the believers their persons and their property in return for the Garden they shall have.”
Holy Qur’an, 9:111
A will made for the sake of Allah
A Musi (one who has made the Wasiyyat) pledges to live a life of righteousness and to give at least one-tenth, and up to one-third, of their income during their lifetime and of their property after their death, for the propagation of Islam.
It is not only a financial commitment. It asks for Taqwa, sincere belief, fulfilling the rights of others, and striving for nearness to Allah.
