An Islamic flag is a flag either representing Islam, a concept or person related to Islam, or a state, military force or other entity associated with political Islam. The flags of contemporary Islamic states tend to use one or several of the Pan-Arab colours, (black, red, white, green), and sometimes religious inscriptions such as the ''shahada'' or the ''takbir''. The ''shahada'' has also become popular as an inscription on jihadist flags since the 1990s. ==Early history== The early Muslim community did not use any designs or geometric shapes as symbols on their flags. During the time of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, Muslim armies and caravans flew simple solid-coloured flags (generally black or white) for identification purposes. In later generations, the Muslim leaders continued to use a simple black, white, or green flag with no markings, writings, or symbolism on it. Muhammad used flags of different colours in different ''Ghazwat'' (or campaigns commanded by Muhammad himself) and ''Saraya'' (or campaigns commanded by any ''Sahaba'', the companions of Muhammad). The major flag of Muhammad was known as ''Al-Uqab'' (The Eagle); it was pure black, without symbols or markings. Its name and colour was derived from the flag of the Quraysh, an Arabian tribe, whose flag, also called Al-Uqaab, was black with an eagle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Islamic flags」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
