WHY MUSLIMS HAVE CRESCENT FLAGS
 
INDIAN SCRIPTURES describe in detail the history of Allah or Ashura Maya Danav who lived in Armenia around 100 million till 1400 BC. He was a great devotee of Lord Shiva from whom he learnt the art of bringing dead to life thereby he obtained godhood status among his followers.

Once he participated in churning of Milk Ocean ( White Sea ) 99.3 million yrs ago . Among many other things including gems and jewels, an invaluable piece of metal in shape of crescent emerged out of the sea. It was given to Maya Danav who presented it to Lord Shiva. Shiva accepted it and tagged it on his hair mats as locket. Since then Shiva came to be known as ' Chandra Sekher , and Muslims took it as their holy symbol.

It is presumed that the holy stone of Kabba was also obtained from the churning of Milk Ocean.

I like to think of it another way..

Not only is there a crescent moon, but also a star.

If we look at the symbol for the pranava AUM, at the top, there is Bindu...A crescent moon and a star:

So rather than associating the Islamic crescent with Lord Shiva, as I would normally do (because I associate EVERYTHING with Lord Shiva), in this specific case, I am more inclined to associate it with AUM.

Besides which, I always thought that the Moon Deity (Chandra Deva) went to Lord Shiva for refuge after being cursed by Prajapati Daksha for taking an interest in one of his wives, Rohini...and Daksha cursed the Moon to keep on waning day by day until it totally vanished from sight forever...So Lord Shiva kept the moon in his hair as a promise that nothing bad would ever happen to it... well, that's the story I got told anyway.

It is just the similar reason why Japan have the rising sun in their flag. The Japanese archipelago is east of the Asian mainland, and is thus where the sun "rises".

The hot and harsh desert in Arabia at day became cool and pleasant at night. The crescent and star symbolised the coolness of the night , and probably they were adopted as symbols in their flag. The green could also have come from green vegetation which was scarce in the desert , and hence highly prized.

Though such arguments cannot be denied, the actual reason is found in the history of human race.

My wife once made the journey to Mecca and visited the Kaaba.
If I could go, I would love to see the Black Stone within the Kaaba.

the star and crecent are not islamic of nature
the crecent came during the crusades due to crusader carry cross sign
and muslims took the crecent as their signs
however the most common theory is it came during ottoman empire
which you can see today on turkey flag
whichever theory is correct or wrong
what is proven fact that neither the cercent or crecent with star
were ever used during muhammd's life or after it by lengthy period
as sign to islam its just sign came later on

Not all Muslims except the crescent Moon and Star........ I suspect some consider it an idol.

It is not about the Flag only. There is full documented history of Allah running into 50-60 pages (approx. 100 millions to present) . I would tell you briefly.

After the churning of ocean Devas (Europeans) cheated Muslims (followers of Allah) and there arose a great war between them. Allah who had built an air ship (called as Tripur Viman), took all of his followers overboard in safety and started bombing Devas from space. Devas pleased Shiva and made him to agree to destroy the airship. Shiva destroyed the airship but some how Allah escaped badly injured. Allah fled to Mexico America that was very close to Europe at that time, with his surviving followers. He made underground tunnel cities and lived there. Maya (called after Ashura Maya Davav or Allah), Inca all these civilizations were established by him. The culture of animal and human sacrifice practiced by Allah followers gave him ( Allah) strength and longevity. Those Muslims who accepted Vishnu as their God were allowed to live in Europe, in Persia, Georgia , Armenia etc.

Allah ruled there for a long time after then he was displaced by new rulers. He fled to Khandav Forest (New Delhi). When Arjun and Krishna (1450BC) burnt the forest to establish their kingdom, Allah was caught by them and he promised to built a fort in lieu of sparing his life. The present 'old fort of New Delhi is living testimony of Allah.

Allah then went to Andaman island and became prime minister of the ruler there. This is the last documented record. it seems Allah subsequently died there and possessed Muhammad as ghost. Prophet Muhammad has revealed several times this fact.

Vishnu is the opponent God, of Allah. After getting defeated by Vishnu several times, Muslims say 'Allah hu Akbar' meaning that Allah is greater than Vishnu to boost their moral. To deny Vishnu they also say that 'There is no other God than Allah'

I am telling all these facts because Muslims do not know all this. Animal sacrifice is against Nature's Laws. If Muslims could abandon animal and human sacrifice, the whole world would be peaceful.

Allah generally gets translated as 'God'.

Which God?

The same God of the Christians and Jews but
does not include Jesus as a God/god.
