Saudi Flag


Every country has a flag, but what is the meaning for this flag in their culture or what is the meaning for the others. Now I want to talk about my country flag. My country is Saudi Arabia, and I attach my country flag to see what I am talking about. The first standard was before thousand and four hundred years. Standard was for Islamic country in Nagd and Alhegaz. This flag was a white and there phrase in the middle. This phrase was said God is the biggest. In 1744, this flag change to become green and they change the phrase to crescent in the middle. The first Saudi flag designed in 1902 when King Abdulaziz unified the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They keep the last flag but they change the crescent to the swords. After few years they add phrase to the flag. Saudi flag change five times during the hundred years. The last change was when King Abdulaziz bid Hafed Wahba to design the new flag in Mar 15 1973. The current flag is similar to the old one, and there is Arabic phrase and sword in all of them. Saudi flag is rectangular form is introduced by two-thirds of its length. Green color for the flag and this color point to well-being, but the sword and the words painted in white color. The phrase says there is just one God in this world, and I bear witness that Mohammad the god's messenger. Sword designate the Force whiles the certificate to show the Islamic rule of the country. Because of the phrase Saudi flag is the only flag that cannot strike it or downloaded to the force in half the cases of international mourning ceremonies. Saudi Flag cannot use in T-shirt or unclean places like bathroom that why they design other flag to use. There is another design without the phrase to use in Sports events, or in other places. I hope the picture is clean now, and I hope you enjoy.

I didn't know that there was a different version of the Saudi flag. I'll have to look it up because I am really interested in that now!
