15 July 2005: During his Friday Sermon on this day, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa said that there was a surge in opposition to the Jamaat in some Muslim-majority countries. Huzooraa said that Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya had no material power, and members bowed before Allah the Almighty and sought help from Him alone. Therefore, Huzooraa said, members of the Jamaat should pray fervently that Allah the Almighty may protect every Ahmadi from all kinds of harm.
Huzooraa elaborated that there was a lot of unrest against the Jamaat in Indonesia, and the opponents had attacked the Jalsa Salana site there, which resulted in a few Ahmadis being injured. He added that on the same day (15 July), opponents had also attacked Ahmadis during the Friday prayer, which resulted in some injuries.
Huzooraa said that Allah the Almighty would Himself deal with these opponents and would save the Jamaat from all kinds of harm. He advised that Ahmadis ought to remember that such opposition was necessary for the progress of the Jamaat.
