The Hand of Fatima; Khamsa
1. Khamsa is the word for the number 5 in Arabic; in religion / prophecy, it is the hand of the Prophet's favorite daughter. It is a major symbol in Judaism and Islam.
2. The Khamsa represents luck, good fortune, prosperity, and health. The Khamsa takes a great role in religions.
3. The symbol is ambiguous because it can represent many things, and is represented in different religions.
4. People who do not know what the actual meaning of this symbol may wear it just for fashion purposes because it is a popular symbol to me made with jewelry, such as rings and necklaces. It is commonly made with the "Evil Eye" as well because the eye also steers away evil and bad auras.
