Flags in Islam

[searcheroftruth]

Hello everyone,

I know that there are two flags with shahada on them; one black, one white. What is the significance of the colors of the flag, if it holds significance at all? I've also seen green, but it was used by Hamas, who use green quite often (in reference to the green on the Palestinian flag right?)

I was always confused by this, lol.

i didnt know there have flag tat carry shahada, this new to me too
But green is Prophet Muhammad(Saw)'s favorite colors, as far as i know there is no any significant role of color mention in Quran

I think it's shahada...it might be bismillah but i'm pretty sure it's shahada, then again, I can't read Arabic, so I'm pretty much going on what I've been told it says.

"Green is the symbolic color of Islam. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH, peace be upon him) wore a green turban, and green is believed to have been his favorite color. Green was also the color of the banners used on the battlefield and the color of the first Islamic flag. The Quran and the Hadith, the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, describe Paradise as filled with green: the people of Paradise "will wear green garments of fine silk [The Noble Quran, 18:31]." Islam also considers green significant because it is the color of nature.

I hope it answer your question

Thank you, my friend.

Though I'm still unsure about the black and white shahada flags, it explains why I'm seeing so much green!
My Quran is green, my book on hadith is green, I've seen pictures of Mosques that have green on the walls and green in a lot of Islamic Caligraphy with green either being the primary color or the background color. Very interesting!

Lol, I just managed to find the answer on my own!

Turns out a white flag with black shahada on it represents living in an Islamic state, where as a black flag with white shahada represents living in a non Islamic state.
