Tawiz


A tawiz (تعویض) is an amulet, often worn around the neck, containing a small piece of paper with a prayer or verse from the Quran inscribed upon it. It is thought to bring good luck and safe-guard the wearer. Despite the superstitious aspect of the practice, the Taliban have not come out against the custom.
