It is clear that the opponents of Ahmadiyah in Indonesia are following the way Pakistan treat Ahmadiyah. And the ultimate goal is to have it included in Indonesian law of the state and impose that Ahmadiyah is non-Muslim and out of the pale of Islam.

Since, Pakistan declares Ahmadiyah to be minority non-Muslim. Has Pakistan become the most prosperous country and the most peaceful country in the world. even the President of its ally, George Bush has said, "Pakistan is a major battleground in the war on terror. They are all theaters in the same overall struggle. In all three places, extremists are using violence and terror in an attempt to impose their ideology on whole population. (Jakarta Post September 10, 2008, page 10)

Ahmadi followers has nothing to do with what is being happened in Pakistan day in and day out because Ahmadis have been denied their civil and human rights since years. Just yerterday, two Ahmadi in Pakistan have been murdered.

So, Will you just wait until Indonesia become the like of the country she follow, i.e. Pakistan and then call it as the DESTINY of Allah?

It is obvious that Indonesia is being punished by number of earthquakes until the recent times. Why Indonesian people does not pay any attention towards this punishment of Allah. Therefore it is my obligation to turn the attention of the good-natured people of Indonesia towards the following truth. Indonesia claims as an Islamic Country. Then why Allah the Almighty looks upon this country with His wrath. Think over this. Do not in a hurry to declare Ahmadis as non-Muslims. Do not waste your time by crying and crying for the ban of Ahmadiiayh. As long as you try to do injustice and persecution against this Community, you will suffer in the Hands of Allah in various forms.

Almighty God does not punish people with terrible calamities without giving them clear previous warning through His Messenger. God says in the Holy Quran:
"And we never punish until We have sent a Messenger." (17:16)

This verse also explains another divine law viz., God does not send down destructive punishment upon a people unless He has first raised a Warner among them. The truth of these verses has been remarkably demonstrated in our own generation.
The world has seen pestilences, famines, wars, earthquakes and other calamities of unprecedented severity and unparalleled magnitude in such rapid succession as to embitter human life. But before these calamities and catastrophes visited the earth, in this age also, God must have raised a Warner who warned mankind of impending tribulation.

The Messengers are sent with the Message of Peace and a word of warning. God's purpose in raising His Messengers and sending down punishment when people reject and oppose them is that they should listen to their admonitions and reform themselves.
"And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before the coming of this Messenger, they would have surely said, 'Our Lord, wherefore didst Thou not send to us a Messenger that we might have followed Thy commandments before we were humbled and disgraced." (20:135)
"And were it not that if an affliction should befall them because of what their hands have sent before them, they would say, 'Our Lord, wherefore didst Thou not send a Messenger to us that we might have followed Thy signs, and been of the believers?' We should not have sent thee as Messengers." (28:48) "And Messengers have indeed been mocked at before thee, but that whereat they mocked encompassed those of them who scoffed." (21;42)

This verse makes mention of two things which never fail to occur when a Prophet preaches his Message: (a) the Message is held up to scorn and the Prophet himself is mocked and jeered at; and (b) the jeering and mocking of the scoffers always recoils on their own heads and they themselves become the laughing-stock of the world.
"And We destroyed Ad and Thamud, and the people of the Well, and many a generation between them. (25:38,39)
"And never did We destroy any township but it had Warners." (26:209)
This verse also refers to a Divine Law that punishment does not overtake a people unless a Prophet is first sent to them and by rejecting and opposing him they render themselves deserving of it.
"And Thy Lord would never destroy the towns until He has raised in the mother-town thereof a Messenger, reciting unto them Our Signs, nor would We destroy the towns unless the people thereof are wrongdoers." (28:60)
Two laws have been enunciated in this verse: (1) No people are punished until God has first raised among them a Messenger who warns them of the impending punishment and exhorts them to repent and give up their evil ways. (2) No people are punished unless they have given themselves up to sin and iniquity and have completely closed the doors of repentance upon themselves.
The unusual frequency and universality of natural calamities in the form of floods, famines, wars, earthquakes and epidemics during the last one hundred years call for the appearance of a Divine Messenger in the present time.
That Divine Messenger appeared in the fullness of time in the person of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835 - 1908) - the Promised Messiah and Imaam Al Mahdi - the Holy founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at in Islam. In his book Haqiqathul Vahy, in page 256 - 257, he said: "Remember, God has informed me of many earthquakes.
Rest assured, therefore, that as earthquakes have shaken America and Europe so will they shake Asia. Some of them will resemble the Day of Doom. So many people shall die that rivulets of blood shall flow. Even the birds and the beasts will not be immune against this death.
Havoc shall sweep the surface of the earth, which shall be the greatest since the birth of man. Habitations shall be demolished as if no one had ever lived in them. This will be accompanied by many other terrible calamities, which the earth and heavens will send forth, until their extraordinary nature will become evident to every reasonable man. All the literature of science and philosophy shall fail to show their like.
Then mankind will be sore distressed and wonder what is going to happen. Many shall escape and many perish. The days are near, in fact, I can see them close at hand, when the world shall witness a terrible sight. Not only earthquakes but also many fearsome calamities shall overtake man, some from the skies and some from the earth.
This will happen because mankind has become lost in the affairs of the world with all their heart and their effort and their intent. If I had not come these afflictions would perhaps have been delayed a little. But with my coming the secret purposes of an affronted God which were hidden so far, became manifest. Says God in the Holy Quran: We never punish unless we send a Messenger ( 17:16)".
The Revelation to the Promised Messiah Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad by God Almighty as below: "A Warner came to this world and the world did not accept him But God will accept him and will establish his truth with powerful assaults".
"I will disgrace him who intends to disgrace thee. And I will assist him who undertakes to assist thee." (A divine Revelation to Promised Messiah).
It is our humble prayers that may Allah the Almighty open the eyes of the people towards the Truth.
