Explanation:
what do you mean? can you explain further? - there are a number of religious symbols - they are not necessarily arabic - but rather reflecting certain ideas in the Muslim religion.
Can you provide more context?

Eemahn (general term), and Fegh-h (specific term)


Explanation:
Arabic symbol for faith (usually interpretted as Islam) is the crescent moon. I have also seen a standalone hand representing faith and the faithful, i.e. the mark in the cup carried around by beggers to collect change from people by implying the giving to the poor is called for by the faith (Islam).
