The so-called Hawk (or falcon) of Quraish is a symbol which is found on a number of emblems, coat of arms and flags of several Arab states. The Arab people of the Arabian Peninsula, today especially those from the Persian Gulf coast, are traditional Falconry experts; falcons (and hawks) are seen as status symbols and one of the Arabs' favourite animals. Also the traditions and recorded history about the Quraysh tribe and the Islamic prophet Muhammad claim a falcon had been used as clan symbol. Therefore several variants of the ''Quraishi hawk'' were and are seen in the flags, coat of arms, seals and emblems of several Arab states until today. In that meaning the Hawk of Quraish is a rival to the so-called Eagle of Saladin.〔Karl-Heinz Hesmer: ''Flaggen und Wappen der Welt'', pages 93, 155 and 171.
