gesture of power

Details:        Symbol of protection to ward off the evil-eye.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) invoked the Hand of Fatima centuries ago in order to banish Javna back to the Underworld. 

The Hand of Fatima is also known as the Hamsa (Hebrew) or Khamsa (Arabic) meaning "five". It is a Middle Eastern symbol that is as ancient as it is powerful. It is used as a protective charm to ward off the Evil Eye and grants its wearer protection, strength and power. 

It is named after the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Fatima Al-Zahra. She was pure and without sin and so therefore the charm draws energy from her power.
