About the flag

The flag appears in a photo of Egyptian MP Hamdy Hassan.
Eugene Ipavec, 24 June 2007

Recent sightings of the flag shows significant differences with the flag of "uncertain status" presented above (Eugene's sighting, dated 2007, is probably a previous version of the flag. The emblem of the movement is indeed shown in several variants all over the Internet):
- the main color of the flag is of darker green;
- the emblem is shown on a white disk surrounded by two green circles;
- all the elements of the emblem are green;
- there is an additional writing under the swords;
- there is a white writing under the emblem.
Since these sightings include photos of the movement's leader, this version of the flag can be considered as "official"

A photo taken during a press conference held on 5 June 2010 in the movement's headquarters shows the emblem on a green background, surrounded by a white circle, the Koran and the hilts of the sword being yellow, the other elements white.

Various versions of the flag

[Muslim Brotherhood] image by Eugene Ipavec, 10 March 2012

The lower text reads "Muslim Brotherhood."

All the regional MB franchises appear to use the ring-swords-Quran logo, but when I made a cursory survey a few years ago I found that there is - even within any one country - no attempt whatsoever at standardization; the lime-green variant was not particularly representative of what I found then, being an odd shade, but it happened to be in the clearest photo I saw.

This Jordanian affiliate is more typical. Most logos add text in the four spaces between the swords, but I think adding a crescent below may be an older usage which has decreased; the old 80s logo of MB offshoot Hamas had one.

This version of the Muslim Brotherhood is ca. 2013.

A variant of the "Muslim Brotherhood" flag; c. Feb. 2017. The slogan on the right reads: "Allah Akbar" or "Allah is the Greatest." The slogan at the left reads: "wabarak allah fikum" or "May Allah bless you." The bottom semi-circular slogan reads: "al-Ikhwān al-Muslimūn" or "Muslim Brotherhood", and just between the two sword handles is the Arabic word for "Prepare." A thin flag-pole sleeve is at the left (hoist).

A variation of the "Muslim Brotherhood" flag in that a "crescent moon" has been added beneath its regular logo, and its name in Arabic is written inside the crescent moon. A thin flag-pole sleeve is at the right (hoist).

A variation of the "Muslim Brotherhood" flag. Here, in the middle is the Muslim Brotherhood logo. At the top is the Muslim "Declaration of Faith" shahada. The bottom white Arabic script reads (right-to-left): "al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun" or "Muslim Brotherhood"; c. 2012.

In the middle of this flag the logo of the "Muslim Brotherhood" (MB) splits the Muslim's "Declaration of Faith" shahada into halves, with the beginning-half reading: "There is no god but Allah" above the logo, and the ending-half reading: "Mohammed is his messenger" is below the logo; c. Nov. 17, 2023, as seen in Hebron, (West Bank) Palestine. There appears to be a flag-pole sleeve at the right side. The MB is based in Egypt. However, this MB flag was paraded by Muslims in Hebron, (West Bank) Palestine. Hebron is southwest of Jerusalem. Jewish settlers are perhaps less than half of 1% of the population in Hebron. While most of Hebron is under Palestinian Authority (PA) administration, an area containing a Jewish religious shrine (the burial place at the "Cave of Machpelah" of the patriarch Abraham) and Israeli settlers is under Israeli military control.

White field version

Nine slogans flag

[Muslim Brotherhood] image located by William  Garrison, 16 October 2023

An expansive and expressive "nine-slogan boxes" variety of a "Muslim Brotherhood" flag, c. 2005. This "nine-slogan boxes" flag is comprised of 5 larger-size green boxes with white-letter slogans, and 4 smaller rectangular white-boxes with green-letter slogans. The slogan in the top-left green-box (with white Arabic words) reads in English: "The Messenger (Mohammed) is our role model." The top-right box reads: "Allah (God) is our goal." The left-middle box reads: "Ask how we strive". The right-middle box reads: "The Quran is our constitution". In the larger bottom box, the slogan reads: "Death for the sake of Allah (God)" ...[is]... "our highest wishes/goal". In the middle of the flag are several logos/designs: at the top is the clean right-hand pointing to Heaven ("Jannah"), in the middle is the Muslim Brotherhood logo, and towards the bottom is the clean right-hand holding Islam's holy book: The Quran. Below the top four "green" boxes with white-lettered slogans, there are four smaller rectangular "white" boxes with Arabic green-letter slogans. The top-left white-box slogan reads: "Our constitution is jihad, our desire is martyrdom." The top-right white-box reads: "Allah is our God". The bottom-left white-box reads: the Quran "is a book of eternity", and the bottom-right white-box reads: "This is our sacred invitation " to Islam. The Islamic "Declaration of Faith" of "There is no god but Allah, Mohammed is His Messenger" is repeated six times at both the top and bottom of the flag.

There is a hidden flag-pole sleeve on the right side (hoist); that is why the overall flag looks off-centered. Although the Muslim Brotherhood originated in Egypt, its followers display the Brotherhood's flags in other countries, including throughout Palestine and the Gaza Strip.
