Information about the Pakistani Flag: Colors and Meaning of the Flag of Pakistan
In this Country Profile
The national Pakistani flag is a green field with a white crescent moon and five-rayed star at its centre, and a vertical white stripe at the hoist side.
The country’s flag consists of a white serrated band (five white points which represent the five pillars of Islam) on the hoist side, separated from a red area on the right. It is worth noting that the Pakistani flag had eight white points until 2002, but they were reduced to five to avoid confusion with the Qatari flag.
The green represents the majority Muslim community in Pakistan, whereas the white stripe represents religious minorities. In the centre, the crescent and star symbolize progress and light respectively. The flag symbolizes Pakistan’s commitment to Islam, the Islamic world, and the rights of religious minorities. It is based on the original flag of the Muslim League, which itself drew inspiration from the flag of the Sultanate of Delhi and the Mughal Empire in India.
