Associate Chief Editor of The Muslim Times, Rafiq A. Tschannen with some members of the Subang Jama`at after Jumma prayers during the last Friday of the Holy Month of Ramadan

As we all know the bad news reaches the media much easier than the good news.

Recently we have read about an Ahmadiyya Mosque in Indonesia being sealed by authorities in Depok, Java, Indonesia.

However in another jurisdiction in Subang, also in Java, Indonesia, a new Ahmadiyya Mosque opened in the beginning of this year.

Yes, it took quite some time to obtain the Government’s permission, the construction was delayed again and again, but finally last year the construction of the Bait-it-Masroor Mosque could go ahead.

The compound includes a separate residence for the Imam.

Finishing touches are still being done.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Indonesia is working tirelessly with all relevant Goverment Authorities to solve all arising problems that arise from time to time from various sources. The opening of the long-delayed Subang Mosque is just one example of their successes for their untiring efforts.
