The Hand of Fatima, also known as Hamsa, Chamsa, and Hamesh hand, is an Islamic emblem commemorating Fatima Zahra, Prophet Muhammad's daughter and Hazrat Ali's bride. It has long been a popular amulet for warding off the evil or jealous eye, as well as bringing good luck, protection, good health, and abundance. The emblem, which is shaped like an open hand with an eye in the palm, is worn as a decoration, hung over entrances as a wall hanging, and even written on belongings to ward against bad luck.
The Hand of Fatima, also known as the Hamsa, is meant to represent Fatima's difficult existence and battle for dignity. As a result, it symbolizes perseverance in the face of adversity, patience, faith, and loyalty. It symbolizes the Goddess, whose hand spreads love and shields from bad intent, and it signifies the all-pervading spirit of peace, truth, and kindness.
The Hand of Fatima's five fingers represent Prophet Muhammad's family, comprising himself, Fatima, Hazrat Ali, and Fatima and Ali's sons, Hussein and Hasan. The five fingers are also thought to represent the five criteria, tenets, or pillars of Islam: professing the religion, praying, going on a pilgrimage to Mecca, giving alms, and fasting.
