NATIONAL FLAG OF JORDAN The flag of Jordan consists of three equal width horizontal stripes - the top stripe is black; the middle one is white; and the bottom stripe is green. On the left side of the flag is a horizontal red triangle pointing towards the middle. In the middle of the triangle is a white, seven pointed star The black, white and green bands represent the Arab Abbasid, Umayyad and Fatimid dynasties respectively, while the red triangle joining the bands represents the Hashemite dynasty and the Arab Revolt. Seven-pointed star originally represented the seven districts of erstwhile Syria (Aleppo, Beirut, Damascus, Deir ez-Zor, Lebanon, Palestine, and Transjordan) But changed national identities changed the interpretations. The seven-pointed star currently symbolizes the seven verses of the first surah (Al-Fatiha) in the Quran - faith in One God, humanity, national spirit, humility, social justice, virtue, and aspirations.
