Aside from the Christian faith, some other major religions that carry the purpose on their faith flags and banners are Hinduism and Islam. These two major religions are not lacking in their set of symbols and depictions of their faith.
For instance, the syllable “Aum” is depicted in the Holy books of Hinduism and referred to as the Upanishads. “Omkar” on the other hand is one of the most cited words in the beginning of many Hindu books. It may be analogized as the “Amen” Christians commonly use as an acceptance of Christian teachings. Another popularly associated symbol with Hinduism is the lotus which has a godly affiliation, especially in the Asian communities practicing Hinduism. It is the symbol of purity and virtue.
Hindu gods are also depicted quite literally on paintings and faith flags as they are described. The Goddess Lakshmi is associated with the pink lotus, while the Goddess Saraswati is associated with the white one. It is also considered that the word swastika took its roots in this Sanskrit language, hence the similar orientation of the symbol.
As for Islam, there are four fundamental symbols deemed important and sacrilegious if disrespected. There is the Ottoman symbol otherwise known as the star and crescent, the name of Allah, Rub el Hizb, and Kalima. The symbol/name of Rub el Hizb is found in many Islamic faith flags and is initially used in the Quran. It is still seen in the official arms of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. As for the Ottoman symbol, it may be seen as part of the national flags of the countries Turkey, Pakistan, Algeria, and similarly influenced countries under the Islamic faith.
