\n\tSome might argue that the act of “crossing fingers” was originally a reference to the Christian cross, although today that connotation has been completely superseded with the sole meaning of “wishing good luck.”[1]<\/a>Therefore the act of crossing fingers holds no religious Christian significance today.[2]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf one does use this term, it should be with the correct belief that only All\u0101h SWT is in control of one’s good and bad fortune and <\/a>that is by hoping for the best outcome from Him.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
