did he ever gain such a position which would have enabled him to annul Jizya creates a marked impression that this annulment of the tax levied upon the people of the Book was to be realised through a definite and positive decree by the Promised Messiah. . This later impression is further verified by the insistence that according to the Traditions of the Holy Prophet, the Messiah is expected to: 'break the cross, annihilate the swine and abrogate the Jizya. '. HYPOCRISY OF MULLAHS 4. A thorough study of all anti Ahmadiyya publications reveals that the entire controversy against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is pursued on the basis of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's alleged failure to literally display or fulfil 6 all the Signs indicated in the Traditions of our beloved Prophet, Hazrat Muhammed Mustapha, peace and blessings of. Allah be upon him. . S. The founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is also subjected to ridicule for suggesting that these Traditions are not expected to be fulfilled literally' but are subject to interpretation and his interpretations of the Traditions are scoffed and flouted. 8. Yet, it appears that whenever these anti Ahmadiyya elements find themselves confronted with a difficult situation, they either begin to interpret the Traditions of our beloved Prophet, peace be upon him, or else start drawing inferences from these. . Maududi for instance, as has been previously shown, denies the concept of the physical breaking of the cross and the actual physical annihilation of the entire breed of pigs.
