Aqiq stones are either of carnelian or agate. The Aqiq Yemeni stone is regarded as the most precious of aqiq stones. At Islaamic Visions, we know that Aqiq Yemeni is the most sought after stone for a ring. We have Women's Aqiq Yemeni rings and Men's Aqiq Yemeni rings in .925 Sterling silver.
Aqiq Yemeni comes in many colors, but the most common are the brownish-red color. Have you ever seen a black aqiq Yemeni? This stone is an onyx stone. At Islaamic Visions we carry black aqiq Yemeni for men. There are numerous traditions from the Ahlul Bayt (the Prophet Muhammad (sawa), his daughter Fatimah (as), and the 12 Imams) about the importance of Aqiq, namely for wearing it while performing Salat (Muslim Ritual prayer), and also its benefits to free one from proverty and other benefits (by Allah's permission). Aqiq has also been made into rosary beads for the dhikr of Allah (swt).
