Arabs may use certain talismans such as the Hand of Fatima or the eye stone to protect themselves from harm, primarily from receiving "the evil eye". Islam tends to frown on the use of charms, preferring prescribed verses from the Koran or invoking the name of Allah in defence. In pre-Islamic times, Arabs used magic number squares as talismans because they were thought to have curative abilities as well as astrological and numerological significance.

Spit over your left shoulder three times and say "a'udhu bi'allah min ashaytaan arajeem" Which means - "I seek refuge in God from the accursed Satan" This should be done to ward off bad dreams and evil spirits.

They say "Bismillah" (in the name of Allah) oftentimes coupled with Quoranic verses every time they face danger, before doing something, to ward off the evil eye and bad luck, etc.

We use the blue stone that protects from the evil eye... be careful because it will rebound on the person who wishes us harm, Also we have faith in God so a small prayer does the trick also...
