Sprinkle salt seven times on the newlyweds at the entrance and wedding
A pebble of salt in the eye of one who does not pray for the Prophet
Five of the eye and envy
The hand of Fatima or five and five
It is a folk heritage symbol used as an amulet or talisman to ward off envy and witchcraft
This symbol is usually hung on the wall in homes and offices or in cars
Or he wears silver and gold decorations and jewelry shapes for women
With the word Mashallah
It is found in the Islamic and Jewish Hebrew heritage (hamsa).
It is also spread in the Middle East and North Africa region
and a number of Islamic countries
Some consider it a kind of quackery and sorcery.
Khamsa and Khamisa have other names in the Maghreb countries
They call it the Hand of Fatima, after Fatima al-Zahra
While the Jews call it the palm of Mary, after Mary, the sister of Aaron and Moses.
Also, the number five has a special feature in the two religions, such as the five books of the Torah in Judaism
The five pillars of religion in Islam
And the five companions of the Shiites
However, some specialized archaeologists believe
This symbol dates back to the pre-Jewish and Islamic religions.
There are also other ways to ward off envy, such as sprinkling salt and hanging horseshoes in the doors and entrances of homes
Or the blue bead. The eye drawn on a spherical or flattened bead, often blue, represents the shape of the blue bead amulet, known in Turkish.
“Nazar Boncuk”, which symbolizes an eye that gazes into the universe and wards off evil and protects its wearer from dangers.
As for the blue color, it symbolizes the fresh water that gives life.
The blue bead was the most common amulet used by the ancient Egyptians
And that there was no nation among the nations of the entire ancient world like Egypt that made this great destiny
And these huge quantities of beads, because they feel the aesthetic aspect in the shapes and colors of those natural materials, in addition to their belief in the magical powers of those beads.
And the pharaohs chose the blue color because it is associated with the blue of the sky in which the sun swims (the symbol of the god Ra among the ancient Egyptians).
In America and the countries of the West, they are pessimistic
Also from the number 13 (related to the number of Christ's dialogues before the Romans tortured him)
Especially when it falls on Friday the 13th
And they launch fireworks at the beginning of the new year in order to expel evil spirits, according to their understanding
Other ways for fortune-tellers claim to know the horoscope and predict the future
Like hitting sand and letting the sea
Or reading tarot and playing cards
Or reading palm lines, a cup of coffee, and other popular traditions associated with inherited heritage and traditions
Envy is a reality found in the Holy Quran
But his correct treatment is not with these amulets or different ways of exploiting people
Among them is the lie of reading the daily fortune horoscope
The evidence of her lying is the different fortunes and temperaments of one twin
Although they were born on the same day and from the same father and mother
So it's just a bad trade but it's popular by exploiting the ignorance of simple people
Promoting myths and myths that are far from science, reason and logic
Also, special channels spread to promote the culture of popular birthdays, "praise, Sufism, and others." The result was mixing religion with darusha and spreading superstitions with some naive messages tucked into us by Shiites and others with the aim of emptying religion of its content and destabilizing our faith with the aim of spreading Shiism or Christianization.
The poem of the late poet Nizar Qabbani, "The Reader of the Cup," by the love artist Abdel Halim, was about the habit of reading a cup of coffee through the forms of coffee deposited on the bottom of the inverted cup.
In conclusion, I say you cannot chase luck by hanging the blue bead
Or a horseshoe on your front door
But you are lucky when you take the donkey's brains out of your head and you are not held accountable
