What is Daftar Atfal?

Daftar Atfal is the children’s section of Waqf-e-Jadid. In his 3 January 2025 sermon, Huzoor (aba) said that the Daftar Atfal has its own separate record.

Huzoor (aba) is Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V. The sermons also tell of members who give on behalf of their children and grandchildren. In the 2026 sermon, Huzoor (aba) reports the top places for collections from Atfal.
