What is rub-el-hizb?

Rub-el-Hizb is a symbol used in Islam and is also known as "muzdalifah". It consists of two overlapping squares, one with a bigger size than another, forming an octagon shape. Inside the larger square, there are 8 smaller squares, while in the smaller square, there are 16 smaller squares.

Rub-el-Hizb is commonly used in the Quran as a marker for the end of a verse or chapter, and also used in Islamic calligraphy and architecture. It is also found on the national flag of Tatarstan, a republic in Russia, as well as on the coat of arms of the Uzbekistan government.

Furthermore, Rub-el-Hizb is often worn as a talisman or good luck charm in Muslim communities, especially in Central Asia. It is believed that wearing Rub-el-Hizb will bring good fortune, prosperity, and blessings in life.
