asiascriptswordislamic
Saudi Arabia's flag is green with the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) in white Arabic calligraphy and a white sword below it. The green represents Islam, the Shahada affirms the monotheistic faith, and the sword symbolizes the strictness in applying justice. The flag is never flown at half-mast due to the sacred text.
Saudi Arabia's flag is never flown at half-mast because it bears the Islamic creed (Shahada). Lowering the sacred text is considered disrespectful.
Adopted: 1973
