Adopted as the symbol of Islam in the fourteenth century, this waxing moon (associated with Diana) was used first and then the star was added later, as a symbol of divinity and sovereignty. In ancient Asia, the crescent moon represented the barque of Sin, the Babylonian moon-god.

Hand of Fatima

Named after Muhammad’s daughter, the Hand of Fatima represents the Five Pillars of Islam; the five fundamentals: faith, prayer, pilgrimage, fasting, and charity. Also, the thumb represents the Prophet, the first finger is the Lady Fatima, the second finger is her husband, Ali, and the third and fourth fingers are their sons Hasan and Husain.
