Flag of Jordan

🎨 What the flag means

Jordan's flag has black, white and green stripes with a red triangle at the left. The stripes stand for three great Arab dynasties of long ago, and the red triangle for the royal Hashemite family. The white seven-pointed star stands for the unity of Arab people, with one point for each verse of the Quran's first chapter.
