The flag of Pakistan was adopted on August 11, 1947, shortly before the country gained independence from British rule. The flag features a dark green field with a white vertical stripe on the left side. In the center of the white stripe is a large crescent moon and a five-pointed star, both in green.
The green color of the flag represents Islam, which is the dominant
religion of Pakistan. The white stripe represents the country's religious minorities
and its commitment to religious tolerance. The crescent moon and star are
traditional symbols of Islam and are also found on the flags of other Muslim
countries.
The proportions of the flag are 2:3, meaning that the width of the flag is one and a half times its height. The national flag is flown at all government buildings, and on national holidays and important occasions. It is also commonly displayed in homes and businesses throughout the country.
