| Design | A yellow field emblazoned with the logo of Hezbollah in green and Arabic text in red or green. |
The flag of the Shi'a political and military organization Hezbollah depicts a stylized representation of the Arabic words حزب الله (Ḥizbullāh, meaning 'Party of God') in Kufic script. Written near the first letter of the word Allah, there is a hand that reaches up to grasp a stylized assault rifle.[1] The flag incorporates several other symbols, namely a globe, a book, a sword, and a seven-leafed branch. The text above the logo reads فإن حزب الله هم الغالبون (fa-inna ḥizba llāhi humu l-gālibūna) and means "Then surely the party of God are they that shall be triumphant" (Quran 5:56), which is a reference to the name of the party. Underneath the logo are the words المقاومة الإسلامية في لبنان (al-muqāwamah al-islāmīyah fī lubnān), meaning "The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon".
