Answer 1

It is not the middle finger.

The hand fingers are called:

  1. thumb
  2. the index finger (next to the thumb)
  3. the middle finger (in the middle)
  4. the ring finger (though this is customarily used for the left hand only)
  5. the "little finger" or the "pinkie" (the smallest and last finger)

Usually, Muslims put the the index finger (next to the thumb) up when viewing a funeral and during praying as sign that Allah (or God in English and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) is one and only one God with no partner.

Answer 2

In most Western countries, and increasingly in other parts of the world because of the prevalence of Western movies and culture, putting up the middle finger is way of cursing out the person standing across from you. It is considered a very rude symbol and not performed in good company.

Does broken fingers grow back?

Answer:Not usually, though on very rare occasions it has been reported to happen. My left index finger was cut off at the first joint when I was about 2 1/2 years old, by my estimate, in a door. It was found about an hour and a half later, and packed on ice while my parents rushed me to the hospital to have it sewn back on. It didn't take and withered up like a raisin. I was deeply saddened and tried to get my mother to tape it back on when I bumped it and it fell off at the dinner table. We prayed about it, and weeks later she noticed a growth that looked similar to a nail. It continued growing up to a point where it was functional and then stopped. It is slightly shorter than the other hand index finger because it lacks the padding at the tip. The nail also curls downward, and has scar tissue underneath, but I can do everything as if I had not lost the finger. I type, play guitar and everything else. I just wish it did not look any different. I also have to be careful not to cut open the scar tissue when I clip that fingernail.Answer:There are some studies that suggest that before the age of 9 years of age, a person can grow back a finger tip.Answer:No, This wouldn't be possible. You'd just have a stump...
