- COVID-19 protocols are developed and conducted by the National Amoore Ama department & subject to change.
- Please order a Free Covid-19 testing Kit here https://special.usps.com/testkits and bring it with you to Dallas or Baitur Rahman. Do NOT use the Covid Test Kit until you are asked to. The Free federal program ends this Friday, Sept 2. You will need these for upcoming classes with Huzur (aba). Otherwise, you will end up purchasing your own kit at an area pharmacy, or on-site ($10 each). You may also get them for free from insurance if they are offering such testing kits. The Jamaat will pay for on-site tests if you cannot afford them.
Do we know the Time of the Waqf-e-Nau Classes:
- The class times are not final yet, however, they are expected to be around 5:30 p.m. Waqifeen-e-Nau should arrive at the Mosque at least 4 hours prior to the class. More information will be shared inshallah.
Where can I get the Excuse Letter for School:
- Available here: (Download) Waqf-e-Nau Class School Excuse Letter
Can non-Waqifeen-e-Nau attend the classes:
- No, only Waqfeen with verified Waqf-e-Nau ID may attend.
Can parents of the Waqifeen-e-Nau attend the classes:
- No, the classes are for Waqifeen-e-Nau only. However, Waqifeen-e-Nau with a special need can reach out to National Secretary Waqf-e-Nau.
I am flying in or driving in for the class, What do I need to keep in mind:
- Waqifeen-e-Nau should arrive in the general vicinity the night before, then the mosque site in the morning (4 hours before), and plan to depart from the vicinity at the earliest the morning following the class.
- Primary & backup presenters will be asked to arrive a day early.
Can I attend both Waqf-e-Nau Classes:
- Ideally, you should attend the class closer to your region first. Waqifeen-e-Nau who are flying in should try Dallas class first.
- We anticipate Baitur Rahman’s class to be at or beyond capacity which makes Dallas class to be more exclusive and a better opportunity for those flying in or coming from a longer distance.
- Preference will be given to those who are attending only one class. However, You are asked for your personal preference in the registration process. Please note that your spot in the preferred class is NOT Guaranteed until it is approved by the National Team. Due to the Covid Protocols & limited space, priority will be given to those who have never attended a class with Huzur (aba), registration date, & residence in the Local Jama’at or region, etc…
- If you had attended the Dallas Class, we may rescind your invitation from Baitur Rahman Class, even before the start of the class. This includes even if you had received a “conditional confirmation”. Due to capacity and Covid guidelines we may not know until the start of the class.
Is accommodation or Transportation provided by Jama’at:
- No. Waqifeen-e-Nau and their parents are expected to arrange their own transportation & accommodation.
- Mosque Address for Dallas:
- 1850 Hedgcoxe Rd. Allen, TX 75013

What Happens After I register:
- Your Waqf-e-Nau status will be validated & a “conditional” approval will be granted. If a Waqf-e-Nau does not know their Waqf-e-Nau ID or has recently immigrated to the USA, please reach out to your local Waqf-e-Nau Secretary and fill out the following information:

- No. Classes are for USA Waqifeen-e-Nau Only.
Can an exemption be granted for a Waqf-e-Nau if not eligible:
- Islam’s core principle is fairness, hence, if a Waqf-e-Nau is not eligible to attend a class due to Covid or age limits, we will not be able to accommodate such requests.
- Anyone who fails to register by the deadline (including being unaware of the classes being organized), will not be allowed to sit in the class. As a Waqf-e-Nau or a parent of a Waqf-e-Nau, we need to demonstrate extra responsibility by dedicating our children to this blessed scheme.

DISCLAIMER/Important Conditions:
- I have read ALL FAQs
- Please note that COVID-19 safety protocols, schedule, duration, attendance limitations, and date/time of the classes are subject to change at any time.
- Failure to attend mandatory meetings without approval may result in the Waqf-e-Nau being unable to attend the class. Parents should take special note of this to avoid any grievances afterward.
- Waqifeen-e-Nau selected to present in front of Huzur-e-Anwar (aba) are not guaranteed to present until the actual class start time. Parents should take special note of this to avoid any grievances afterward.
