Ahmadiyyat: Destiny and Progress 53 Allah the Exalted has, through His blessings and grace, prepared the ground for Ahmadiyyat to succeed in every country, region and part of the world. It flourishes by the day and new branches of the community are being established in different places. Only recently I received news from Sierra Leone in West Africa. I will elaborate on the details more fully in my next address, but for now it is sufficient to say an Ahmadi missionary has been there for almost a year. At first he met with opposition from both the government and non- Ahmadis.
