They are common symbols in both Jewish and Muslim communities.
In Jewish communities it is called the Hamsa Hand or the Hand of Miriam.
In Muslim communities it is called the Hand of Fatima or the Khamsa.
Hamsa is the Hebrew word for five. Likewise Khamsa is the Arabic word for five.
The Hamsa hand and the Hand of Fatima are equally best known for the power to protect the owner from the evil eye and bring happiness to the holder.
The holder of the Hamsa expects to be protected from all negative energies. The most common negative energy being envious glares from people wishing you no good.
❌Hamsa Hand Meaning
The Hamsa hand is said to symbolize the five books of the Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
Some call these books “The Five Books of Moses”. Genesis starts with telling the story of the creation of the world and Deuteronomy ends with Moses dying in the land of Moab.
It may sometimes also be called “The Hand of Miriam”.
Miriam was the sister of Moses and Aron. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Aron became the first High Priest.
Miriam played an important role in the story of Moses and was highly respected.
Legend has it that it was due to Miriam’s virtues that the Israelites always found water during the forty years they wondered through the desert on their way towards the Promised land.
The well that seemed to follow the people of Israel is according to legend called Miriam’s well.
So Miriam came to represent protection, luck and happiness.
❌Fish Symbol on the Hamsa
Many times the Hamsa hand is decorated with fish drawings. Fish are traditionally a symbol of good luck.
As the fish also lives in the water, it is completely immune to the powers of the evil eye.
The fish symbol on the Hamsa hand therefore strengthens the protection from the evil eye.
❌Eye Symbol on the Hamsa
The eye drawing often found on the Hamsa represents the eye that sees everything. Nothing escapes this eye.
The eye watches out for the person in possession of the Hamsa and warns about and protects against evil encounters.
More and more people are seen wearing the Hamsa Hand or Hand of Fatima as amulets. There certainly is a lot of beautiful Hamsa Jewelry
Some people prefer larger pieces of this symbol. They may hang Pictures of the Hamsa Hand/Fatima Hand on the wall in their home for protection and good blessings.

Title: Is it permissible for Muslims to buy goods (on sale) sold during christian holidays?
Answered by: Shaykh Ali bin Yahya bin Ali Al ‘Amiree Al Haddaadi
Question: Unfortunately here in the west (and some Muslim countries) we have clothing, furniture and other types of discount sales offered by shops, which take place during non Muslim holidays. Is it permissible to buy these items during these non-muslim celebrations to benefit from the discounts they offer?
Answer: Shaykh Ali Haddadi answered by saying, there is no problem buying goods in the sales during their holidays because buying and selling has nothing to do with their religion.

To be upon Salafeyyah you don't have to be approved by anyone; not a group of people, a Masjid nor a center.
You have to know the truth and follow it, you do not need a loyalty card for that.

GOOD NEWS FOR DIABETES PATIENTS
The head of the court house of Tabook in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has found a treatment for diabetes, after a clinical trial that was successful. All praise is due to Allaah.
The head of the court of Tabook, brother Salih Muhammad At-twaajiri, has found a cure for diabetes that many people are suffering from, especially the elderly, men or women.
His honour mentioned that it took many trials and hard work but he found, by the permission of Allaah, the best way to treat the disease.
INGREDIENTS:
1. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Burr (Whole wheat).
2. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Leban Murr (Real Arabic Gum base from the gum tree).
3. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Sha'eer (Barley).
4. 100 grams/3.5 ounces of Habba Sauda (Black Seed).
PREPARATION:
# Mix all the ingredients with five cups of water.
# Heat up the mixture till it boils and let it boil for ten (10) minutes.
# Let the mixture set till it cools.
# Strain the mixture of all the impurities; keep the clean liquid in a glass container.
USAGE:
The sick person starts drinking the liquid in the amount of an espresso cup every morning before breakfast on an empty stomach for seven consecutive days. After the first week, he/she changes the methodology; he/she starts doing same amount every other day for a week. After that, he/she stops using the mixture completely. Thereafter, he/she can eat whatever that was not allowed for them before the treatment. Don't fear in shaa Allaah.
His honour wishes that Allaah Ta'ala benefits whosoever gets the news of this treatment, that he considers it an obligation upon us, to spread it amongst the people.
Please don't forget to make supplication for us.
All praise is due to Allaah by Whom all good deeds are perfected.

Ahl Al-Bid’ah amongst the Jinn
Al-Hâfidh Ibn Kathîr – Allâh have mercy upon him – reports the following incident in his tafsîr of Sûrah Al-Jinn, verse 11:
Ahmad b. Sulaymân al-Najjâd said in his Amâlî: … Abû Mu’âwiyah said,
"I heard Al-A’mash say, ‘A jinni once came to us and I asked him: what is the favorite food amongst you?’ He replied, ‘Rice.’ So we gave some to them and I saw handfuls of rice being lifted and I couldn’t see anyone [picking them up]. I asked, ‘Do these false desires (bid’ah) that are amongst us exist amongst you?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ I asked, ‘How are the Râfidah amongst you?’ He replied, ‘The worst of us.’"
Ibn Kathîr said, ‘I presented this chain of narration to our Shaykh, Al-Hâfidh Abû Al-Hajjâj Al-Mizzî and he said, "This chain of narration is sahîh all the way to Al-A’mash."
