The Breaking of the Cross by the Messiah upon His Descent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Once, the Messiah (peace be upon him) intended to break the cross, and also intended to bring about the descent.
Answer:
Yes, he breaks the cross because the cross is worshipped; the Christians worship it. He breaks it and imposes the jizyah (the tax on protected non-Muslims), because no religion remains other than the religion of Islam. Judaism and Christianity remain, and a portion is taken from them; they all become Muslims. The cross is broken because it is an idol among the idols, and the pig, because the Christians eat it, so all these things are invalidated.
