History of Pakistan's Flag

The national flag of Pakistan was designed by Syed Amir uddin Kedwaii

and was based on the original flag of the Muslim League..

It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly[1] on August 11, 1947,

just days before independence The flag is referred to in the

national anthem as Parcham-e-Sitā ra-o-Hilāl in Urdu

a(lit. Flag of the Crescent and Star). The flag comprises a

dark green field, representing the Muslim majority of Pakistan,

with a vertical white stripe in the hoist, representing religious

minorities.In the centre is a white crescent moon, representing

progress, and a white five-pointed star, representing light and

knowledge. The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam,

the Islamic world, and the rights of religious minorities. The

flag is flown on several important days of the year including

Republic Day and Independence Day. The flag was designed by

Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of the nation.

It is associated with the flag used by the All-India

Muslim League as an emblem of its aim of achieving an independent

Muslim state. Their flag was green, with a central white star

and crescent. At independence in 1947, a white stripe was added

at the hoist to represent the state's minorities. The green and

white together stand for peace and prosperity. The crescent

symbolizes progress, and the star represents light and knowledge.
