Apparently, this view of the Promised Messiah does not appear to be contested by at least the alleged ‘leader of Muslim scholars' Abul Ala. Maududi who, as has been stated earlier declares that: 'the implications of breaking the cross is that Christianity will become defunct as a religion. "' 6 3. Hasanein, M. M: Distructive Movements.
