History
Adopted on 18 April 1928, the flag of Jordan is based on the flag of the Arab Revolt of 1916 and uses the pan-Arab colors. The black, white, and green bands represent historic Arab caliphates, commonly identified as the Abbasid, Umayyad, and Fatimid traditions. The red triangle honors the Hashemite dynasty and the Arab Revolt. The white seven-pointed star symbolizes Arab unity and the seven verses of Al-Fatiha, the opening chapter of the Qur’an.
