Hand of Fatima Hamsa symbolic jewelry
Once, the husband of Fatima (the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad) brought home his second wife. He introduced her to his wife when Fatima was cooking halva on the fire. Having received a blow to the heart, the girl dropped the spoon. She began to stir the boiling halva with her hand further, not feeling pain. Fatima’s heartache was stronger. Ali (her husband), struck by his wife’s worries, abandoned his intention. He remained faithful to his wife until the end of his days.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the downward-facing hamsa was used as a protective amulet in the region even before it was used by adherents of monotheistic religions.
In Judaism, Hamsa is associated with the five books of the Torah. Noteworthy, this is a common symbol in both Jewish and Muslim communities. Traditionally, in Jewish communities they call it the Hamsa Hand or the Hand of Miriam, while in Muslim communities it is the Hand of Fatima or the Khamsa.
Also, Hamsa in Hebrew and Arabic means five, and equally best known for the power to protect the owner from the evil eye and bring happiness to the holder.
