Flag of Hezbollah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The flag of Hezbollah, while sometimes found in different colours, is usually composed of the green logo of the Shi'a militant organization Hezbollah, upon a yellow background with text above and below the logo in red (or sometimes green).

The logo itself is a stylized representation of the Arabic word حزب الله‎ ( ḥizbu-llāh) or "Party of God" in Kufic script. The first letter of "Allah" reaching up to grasp a rifle, likely a Kalashnikov. The logo also incorporates several other objects, namely a globe, a book, a sword, and a seven-leafed branch. Much of its design is taken from the logo of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

The text above the logo reads فإن حزب الله هم الغالبون‎ (fāʾinna ḥizbu llāh hum al-ġālibūn) and means "Then surely the party of Allah are they that shall be triumphant" (Quran 5:56). Underneath the logo are the words المقاومة الإسلامية في لبنان‎ (al-muqāwamah al-islāmīyah fī lubnān) or "The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon".
