EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Aishah tells us that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) never kept anything with a cross on it in his house. This shows us how important it was for him to keep away from symbols of other religions and beliefs. He wanted to make sure that he and his family were only surrounded by things that were related to Islam and its teachings. This hadith also teaches us about respecting other religions and beliefs even if we do not agree with them or practice them ourselves. We should be tolerant of others’ beliefs and respect their right to practice what they believe in without judgement or criticism from us.
