HISTORY OF THE HAMSA HAND

The hamsa is known in the Muslim world as the Hand of Fatima (Fatima was the favorite daughter of Muhammad, and the five fingers represent the five pillars of Islam) and in the Jewish world as the Hand of Miriam (Miriam was the sister of Moses and Aaron, and the five fingers represent the five books of the Torah). Both religions do not recognize or authorize belief in amulets, yet the symbol became very popular and entered the category of superstition. In the West, the hamsa hand gained popularity under the name Hand of Fatima but can also appear as the Hand of God, Hand of Allah, Hand of Hamesh, or Eye of Fatima. This symbol can, however, be more precisely associated with the Phoenician world and the Goddess Tanit, whose hand warded off evil and fear.
