The questioner:
Benefits of the explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. And that we do not display the cross on our churches.
The Shaykh:
The cross is an image they claim to be the image of Jesus (peace be upon him) crucified on the wood when he was killed, in their belief, when the Jews killed him. The cross is actually an innovation of the Jew who claimed to follow Jesus and to practice asceticism in Christianity, namely Paul or Saul, who came to change the religion of Jesus (peace be upon him).
The questioner:

The Shaykh:
And he inserted into it acts of disbelief, including the exaltation of the cross. He told them that he had a vision, and that it is obligatory for them, for example, to hang the cross as a remembrance, and as a means of clinging to Jesus (peace be upon him), and to remember what happened to him, or similar myths. Due to their ignorance, they obeyed him. It was obligatory for them to break the cross because it is a humiliation for them, and a boast for the Jews that they killed Jesus. This is a confirmation of the Jews, for they killed Jesus, even though they did not kill him. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[An-Nisa 4:157]. The Christians agreed with them and believed them in this, despite the humiliation it holds for them. This is what the Jews want. They want to humiliate the Christians always and forever, and to say, "We killed your prophet and crucified him, and here is his image with you."
But they did not realize that. So the result is that we do not prevent them from placing the cross in their homes or in their churches secretly. As for displaying it on the church, or on the house, or on the hospital, or on the cars, this is prohibited in the lands of the Muslims. Yes.
The presenter:
Peace be upon you. He said: And we do not display a cross or books in anything in Tehran.
The Shaykh:
Do we display a cross, whether on their church, or on their cars, or on their buildings, as long as they are in the lands of the Muslims?
