For three centuries, the Saudi flag has been a living witness to the glories of the homeland and has become an integral part of the fabric of the Kingdom and its deep identity. This symbol has drawn its great connotations from the Kingdom's ancient civilizational heritage to clearly indicate the meanings of growth, prosperity, giving and solidarity between the leadership and the people.
History of the Saudi flag
On March 11, 1937, corresponding to the 27th of Dhu al-Hijjah, 1355 AH, the founding King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman - may God rest his soul - approved the shape of the flag with its position that we see today fluttering in the sky of the Kingdom with all dignity and dignity. Based on this historical importance, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud - may God protect him - issued a royal decree that March 11 will be Flag Day, on which we recall every year our pride in the symbol of our identity and our pride in the firm values it carries in its contents.
This flag has witnessed historical stages of development that began as a square green flag with a white color next to it from the mast and the words of monotheism “There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” as a title for the message of the state.
Then the design evolved at a later stage while maintaining the same basic components where two vertical crossed swords were added above the words of monotheism as a symbol of invincibility and strength. As the construction process continued, the flag underwent another transformation by placing a single horizontal sword above the word of testimony while maintaining the white space adjacent to the mast, until the inductive and final stage in which the flag settled on its current rectangular shape whose width equals two-thirds of its length in a green color extending from the mast to the end, with the two certificates in the middle and below them a drawn sword parallel to them, whose grip turns to the right to symbolize the strength and justice that protects the word monotheism in a unique flag with its property that makes it never broken, whatever the circumstances.
