hand of fatima

[hey?]

What on earth is this? My friend got my one last year from Tunisia, but i thought it was buddhist thing, so i got rid of it.
Am i right in thinking appartently it's a 'good luck' kind of charm for muslims and jews? But am i also right in thinking isn't it a form of shirk? Like you associating god-like qualities to a metal hand & relying on it to give you luck etc etc?

I'm unaware of any reference made to Fatima in the Hebrew Bible.

Such reference would be remarkable, given that the Hebrew Bible concerns itself with events that took place a great many centuries prior to Fatima's birth, or even the advent of Islam.

But one is always eager to learn the (many? countless?) ways in which Jews have promoted shirk among Muslims.

they have them everywhere in morocco too, some believe it will protect them from the evil eye if they wear it..

but alhamdulillah, i believe many are finally realizing its a biddah and shirk

Since when do Christians care for the Bible. Many Christians, for example in Portugal, consider Fatima (ra) to be one of their saints.

Christianity is extinct.
