Islamic Flag At A Mosque During The Holy Month Of Ramadan

Islamic flag at a mosque during the holy month of Ramadan inscribed with the Arabic words 'Ya Abbas' in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The invocation is to Abbas one of the martyrs who died with Hussain (grandson of the prophet Mohammad) at Karbala in AD680. This flag is definitely of Shia provenance. Atop the flagpole is an open palm atop a crescent moon. The Palm symbolizes five main martyrs who died and the hand of righteousness. The moon is a symbol of Islam and the Islamic religion.
