Rub el Hizb

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Rub el Hizb (Arabic: ) is an Islamic symbol which is found on a number of emblems and flags. In Arabic, Rub means one fourth, quarter while Hizb means a group or party. Initially, it was used in the Quran which is divided in 60 Hizb (60 groups of roughly equal length), the symbol determine every quarter of Hizb, while the Hizb is one half of a juz''. The main purpose of this dividing system is to facilitate recitation of the Qur''an. An eight-pointed star was used as a symbol of Tartessos, an ancient civilization based in southern Spain. As the region was ruled by Islamic dynasties for eight-centuries, this may suggest a possible origin of the Rub el Hizb.
