Flag used by various Islamist organisations (since the late 1990s) with the white text of the shahada on a black backgroundFlag of Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, predecessor of the Islamic State
The jihadist flag is a flag commonly used by various Islamist and fundamentalist movements as a symbol of jihad. It usually consists of the Black Standard with a white text of the Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith) emblazoned across it in calligraphy style writing. Its usage was widely adopted by Islamist groups and jihadists during the 1990s and early 2000s.[1][2]
Organizations which have used such a flag include:
al-Qaeda
Islamic State
al-Shabaab
Chechen Mujahideen
Hezbollah
Afghanistan
Hamas militants
In the last decade of the South Thailand insurgency, the al-Raya' flag has largely replaced the colourful secessionist flags formerly used by different rebel groups.[3]
