Jordan: its flag

Adopted in 1928, Jordan’s flag reuses that of the 1916 Arab Revolt: black for the Abbasid dynasty, white for the Umayyad dynasty and green for the Fatimid dynasty.

The red triangle, in the colours of the Hashemites, carries a white seven-pointed star representing the seven verses of the Quran’s opening chapter and the unity of the Arab peoples.
