Green field, white sword, and above it the shahada in Arabic script, the Islamic declaration of faith, which is exactly why this flag is never lowered to half-mast, even in mourning; lowering the words themselves would be the issue. Both sides are printed so the script always reads correctly, whichever way the wind blows.
