Green in Islam

Green is considered the traditional color of Islam. This is for several reasons.

1. Prophet Muhammad SAW is reliably quoted in a hadith as saying that “water, greenery, and a beautiful face” were three universally good things.

2. In the Quran, sura Al-Insan, believers in God in Paradise wear fine green silk.

3. Al-Khidr (“The Green One”), is a Qur’anic figure who met and traveled with Moses.

4. The flag of Hamas, as well as the flag of Iran, is green, symbolizing their Islamist ideology.
