DawudTalut
Peace be upon you.
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you….As we see in the history of Prophets, after their claim, they face opposition too. As their Jama'at spreads, the fire of opposition and jealousy increases. Methods of oppositions by opponents assume every possible way. But, because the claimant is sent by Allah the Exalted and He gives him promises and glad tidings of progress despite oppositions, that is why any opposition does not (and cannot) become obstacle in the way of his progress…Allah the Exalted, when, sent Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) as Messiah and Mahdi, treatment to him was to happen according to this way. And support and help of Allah the Exalted, which is His Sunnah (way), was to be granted, and it was granted. Allah the Exalted is treating his Jama'at in the same way.
Allah the Exalted foretold about oppositions and bad end of opponents and progress of his Movement and support for him despite oppositions.
Among many revelations, Allah the Exalted told Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) :
[Translations]
“I shall increase the group of your pure and hearty beloveds too.”
“I am with you and your dears.”
--
“yansoroka rijalun nuhi elehim minas samaa” (i.e. those people will help you, in whose hearts, we shall send revelation from our self)
--
[Translations]
“I shall give you honour and shall increase.”
“yansorokallaho min indehi.” (God will help you from Himself.)
--
The promise of Allah the Exalted about conveying the message:
[Translation] “I shall make your delivery-of-message reach to the ends of the earth.”
--
“kataballaho la-aghle-banna anna wa rosoli” (Allah has decreed: ‘Most surely I will prevail, I and My Messengers.’)
--
Likewise, there are many revelations for support and help….These are not mere statements, which Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) attributed to Allah the Exalted. Rather Allah the Exalted does practical demonstration of these all the times. Somewhere, Allah the Exalted reverses the trick of opponents back to them and shows practical scenes of His support. Somewhere, He shows the truth of Ahmadiyya-Islam by directly guiding people. At the other place, He put thoughts in the hearts of non-Ahmadis that they should support and help the believers of Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.).
Like this, from time to time, the practical demonstration of promises made by Allah the Exalted with Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) keep taking place.

Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) mentioned specimen events from India, Yemen, Ivory Coast, Benin, Egypt, Syria, Morocco.
Following two events are about the bad end of opponents which increased the Eman of Ahmadis and presented the truth of Ahmadiyya-Islam to others.
1) Nazir Dawat elAllah [Incharge of conveying the Message] Qadian, India said that a muallam [teacher] Ishaq sahib went to a village to tell his relatives about the timing of Ramadan. After providing the time table to the people of the house, when he was telling them about grandeur and blessing of Ramadan, a non-Ahmadi person Iqbal came and sat. He listened for some time and then asked the people of house who is this person. The relatives did not feel it was proper to tell he is muallam of Jama'at Ahmadiyya, they only said he has come from a certain village. But muallam sahib introduced himself clealry that he is muallam of Jama'at Ahmadiyya…..At this, the man became furious. Muallam sahib tried to give full introduction to remove his certain misunderstandings but he denied to listen…… During the talk, when the words Holy Quran, Islam, and Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) would come, that man would say you people have no right to use these Islamic terminologies. When the name of Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) and Jama'at would come, he would call them extremely bad names. He said he had come after living in saudi arabia, qatar and bahrain, and know everything about you people. All muslim countries have given fatwas against you and it is said if there is a snake and a qadiani (slang hateful word for Ahmadiyya Muslims) in a path, leave the snake but kill the qadiani!...Muallam sahib said: After saying this, the man would repeatedly rise to kill him that today he has gotten a chance to earn reward by killing a qadiani. But he failed…..Muallam sahib said, ‘I heard the name calling by man with patience when he began to speak too much bad-talk and name calling, I told him that had I not been a Muallam of Jama'at Ahmadiyya I would have fulfilled your desire to have fight. But we are given the teaching to do prayers in return to name calling that is why I do not say anything.’ ….At this the man became silent, or after seeing the surrounding he sat down but the man warned the Muallam that if he would be seen again in this village after this day, he would see very bad end. Muallam said, ‘I replied that time will show whose end would be bad. After that I left the place silently.’ …… This man used to tell the Ahmadis of nearby village to abandon qadianat [hateful slang], but people would not pay attention. …… Muallam sahib said, ‘I took leave of fifteen days after the Ramadan and went. After retruning, an aged lady told me that man who name called he died of a sudden heart attack.’….The incident increased the faith of members of Jama'at in that small village, rather the people who are not in Jama'at they too were impressed a lot that they witnessed the support of Allah the Exalted for Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) and the tragic end of insult-doer.
2) Ghanim sahib from Yemen write about the end of opponents, ‘Since the time I have became Ahmadi, I am conveying the message. I have to face severe opposition and threatenings by a faction of young people. In the Ramadan of 2010, my neighbor and my some friends coerced me and took to a Sheikh of Jamia tul Eman (name of an institution of religious studies). A mullah came there. First, I mentioned the arguments of truth of Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) then talked about subjects of No-death-penalty for apostate, Jihad (no use of force), Jesus-has-died..They talked about their creed without argument and I presented arguments from Holy Quran and Hadith. Anyway, their big Sheikh dealt with some respect but the other one used lot of bad language and he invited for mubahilah (prayer duel). I said mubahilah takes place with Imam. But due to his insistence, and for fear that they may think I am doubtful about the truth of Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.), I accepted mubahilah and talk ended. After that, these young men kept me harassing, name-calling and stopping to convey the message….One day, in the end of Ramadan, I came out of house, a child said, Uncle these young men are making a plan against you. Then some of these threatened me of killing, and severly name called Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). I returned home with hurt heart, offered two Rakaat Salaat (nafal) and prayed O Allah! show your Power regarding them……Latter, in one or two days, these people mutually fought and took big-knives against each other, during the fight knife hit the face of a child. After this incidence, in one month, these people left for somewhere and are not seen so far. My neighbor too has gone to other place after selling his house. Hosi rebels grabed the Jamia. These people ran to saudi arabia. Now the Jamia has truned into heap of debris after the bombardment.

These days we see in material world, people are going away from religion due to worldly progress. But there is a section of people too in the world who have liking for religion and is in search of right paths, and Allah the Exalted knows their hearts, that why He opens their hearts to accept the Imam of the age. When He sent Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace), he was sent so that the world should accept him too, and is accepting by the grace of Him.
3) Muballigh of Ivory Coast writes: I went to a village with a local Muballigh to convey message, and told people abouth the arrival of Imam Mahdi the Messiah….After some times, we went their again, fifteen people including the imam of that village accept Ahmadiyya-Islam. They were told that the National Ijtima (gathering) of Khudam ul Ahmadiyya (auxiliary for men upto age 40) will take place this month in Abi-Jan….They said one person should be sent to Abi-jan to observe Jama'at from near…..So a person went there and after coming, reported what he saw the environment of love and affection. It impressed him…..They went there to convey message after sometime, question / answers sessions at length were convened after Isha Salaat at night and then after Fajr Salaat in morning. Twenty-six people joined Ahmadiyya-Islam. Jama'at of forty-one people was established there.
