Islam Religion Symbols

Each religion has various symbols which contain a specific meaning in that religion. This Hub Page is dedicated to islam religion symbols. Islam began about 1400 years ago, 600 years after Jesus is said to have walked the earth. Basically, there are four Islam religion symbols in Islam. They are:

* Rub el Hizb -- Islamic symbol which is found on various flags and emblems. It was initially used in the Quran. Rub el Hizb can be seen in current arms of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

* Star and crescent (ottoman symbol) -- Used as a symbol of Islam nowadays. Many Muslim countries like Pakistan, Turkey and Algeria use this symbol in their flags.

* Allah -- Muslims believe the correct name of God is Allah, although this is disputed by many Christians and Jews.

* Kalima/Shahadah -- Muslim declaration that they believe in one deity. It also shows that they accept Mohammad as their prophet.

So in this way, there are numerous Islam religion symbols, each with a different meaning. Islamic people use the symbols as a way to feel closer to their deity.
