The national flag of Pakistan was designed by Syed Amir-uddin Kedwaii and was based on the original flag of the Muslim League. It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly[1] on August 11, 1947, just days before independence.[2][3][4] The flag is referred to in the national anthem as Parcham-e-Sitāra-o-Hilāl in Urdu (lit. Flag of the Crescent and Star). The flag comprises a dark green field, representing the Muslim majority of Pakistan, with a vertical white stripe in the hoist, representing religious minorities.[5] In the centre is a white crescent moon and a white five-pointed star, which symbolize progress and light respectively.[5] The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam, the Islamic world, and the rights of religious minorities.[6] The flag is flown on several important days of the year including Republic Day and Independence Day. The flag was designed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of the nation. It is associated with the flag used by the All-India Muslim League as an emblem of its aim of achieving an independent Muslim state. Their flag was green, with a central white star and crescent. At independence in 1947, a white stripe was added at the hoist to represent the state's minorities. The green and white together stand for peace and prosperity. The crescent symbolizes progress, and the star represents light and knowledge.

The star and crescent is a well-known symbol of Islam and is found on the flags of various countries including Pakistan.

Knowledgebug's answer:

The white stripe represents the non-Muslim majority in Pakistan.

The green part, which is on three- forths of the flag, represents

the Muslim majority in Pakistan. The crescent represents the lunar

calendar, which is used in Pakistan, while the solar calendar,

is used in many oyher parts of the world. The star represents the 5 pillars of Islam,

1: 'There is no Allah but Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah.' (Allah is God).

2: Prayer

3: Fasting

4: Give to charity if you can, in the name of Allah, (God)

5: Follow Allah's (God's) command, and he shall help you and others who are worthy.

All of this information is correct, and I know it is correct because I am a proud Pakistani citizen, and a proud Muslim.

Before the Second World War, Muslims and Hindus lived together under the British Raj. A number of the Muslims formed the All India Muslim League. After the Second World War, when the partition of India led to the creation of Dominion of Pakistan, the flag of the Muslim League served as the basis for the flag of Pakistan.

Pakistan is a country in South Asia and is formally called the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The banner of Pakistan embodies a green field and in the core is an image of a white sickle moon and a five pointed star. There are vertical white groups situated at the lift side of the banner.

The shading green utilized as a part of the banner is known as a Pakistan green which is a darker shade of green.
