The flag symbolizes the Kingdom's roots in
the Great Arab Revolt of 1916, as it is adapted from the revolt
banner. The black, white and green bands represent the Arab
Abbasid, Umayyad and Fatimid dynasties respectively, while the
crimson triangle joining the bands represents the Hashemite
dynasty. The seven-pointed Islamic star set in the center of
the crimson triangle represents the unity of Arab peoples in
Jordan.
