Green color (Arabic: ???? ?) Has a number of traditional associations in Islam. In the Qur'an, this is related to heaven. In the 12th century, green was chosen as a dynastic color by the Fatimids (Shi'a), in contrast to the black used by the Abbasids (Sunnite). After the color of the Fatimid dynasty, green remains very popular on Shiite iconography, but also widely used by Sunni countries, especially in Saudi Arabia flags.

Flag of Islam

Green is used as the banner color of the historical Fatimid Caliphate. The Fatimid banner was used until 1171, and thus during the first century of the crusade, and in this way has influenced the Christian symbol, where tingtur vert is very rare if ever used for this field. (background) to the end of the Middle Ages (indeed the term sinople was used to signify the color of redness until the 14th century, and only after 1400 changed its meaning to refer to green as a heraldic tincture).

Today, green is also used in several national flags as a symbol of Islam. These include: Afghanistan, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Comoros, Iran, Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia. and Sri Lanka. Some Arab countries also use pan-Arabic colors that feature a green color as its component to represent the above mentioned Fatimid Khilafah, though not directly to Islam. These include: Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Sudan, Syria and the United Arab Emirates, as well as several contested countries including Palestine, Somaliland and Western Sahara. Libya previously also followed this principle, showing green as the only color component to emulate the Fatimid Khilafah flag (at that time the only flag in the world using only one color) until 2011.

There are also some flags of Muslim-majority countries displaying a green color that does not symbolize Islam. Examples include Bangladesh, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Senegal (in the last four cases, green is a pan-African color component, also adopted by even Christian-majority countries such as Malawi and Southern Sudan ).
