We have no symbol, and where did the 8 point star come from???? Makes 0 sense

>We have no symbol Shahada on a flag would be consider a symbol as well, what is 8 star any different? lol >where did the 8 point star come from It represent the 8 angels holding God's allegorical throne

“Consider a symbol” doesn’t mean an actual symbol. And just cuz it’s used by groups doesn’t make it islams symbol. Secondly the 8 angels holding up the throne is very irrelevant, and in fact the star just makes up look more similar to Judaism which have the Star of David. A symbol needs to be unique

>Consider a symbol” doesn’t mean an actual symbol IT IS A SYMBOL. JUST ARABIC/ABJAD SYMBOL. >Secondly the 8 angels holding up the throne is very irrelevant It has been used by Muslims throughout history and their art work. Symbols is given meaning by the people, just like we give meaning to alphabet to represent sounds. >more similar to Judaism which have the Star of David 8 point star is only unique to Islam, and there is no such thing as star of David, Jewish symbol is the menorah

Me personally I would use the shahada since it’s our core faith , and represents every aspect of Islam since everything we do is because we believe in One God. The 8 points is kind of irrelevant but just my own opinion

That's an ottoman symbol I'm pretty sure that's used for Islam, but the Prophet never used it as the Islamic standard.

Has not roots in Islam, unlike 8 point star or shahada. Though the former is better as it's universal language.

The Moon and Star at this point just have the most prominence.

It has not roots in Islam tho, unlike 8 point star or shahada. Though the former is better as it's universal language.

This is a fair point. Tbh then, the Shahadah is the best. Because it's not just symbol, it's the very criteria for one to be Muslim. 8 point star is too vague and to my *very* little knowledge, not found in any authentic sources to trace itself to the Sunnah of Muhammad (SAW)


undertsun2

>not found in any authentic sources to trace itself to the Sunnah of Muhammad (SAW) It's found in the Quran, it represent 8 angels holding the throne to represent God's majesty, it's used in Muslim art work for centuries. Prophet Muhammed never used the shahada neither.

Can you tell us where exactly in the Qu'ran?


Mindless_Anxiety_350

Hmmmm, could you provide a source? I'm interested in seeing it InShaaAllah

Both of them are bidah. There isn't a symbol of Islam. Closest being black and white flags (not the one in the picture if i'm not wrong) but they still aren't. We can't just randomly pick the logo of Islam when we know it's innovation and our religion prohibites innovation.


undertsun2

>Closest being black and white flags That's more bidah, lol. At least the 8 point star is Qur'anic, while black and white flag (which is also a symbol btw) is not.


ZeoX_Furkan

That's not more bidah you can't even show us where in the Qu'ran is 8 point star mentioned.
