    There are 11 green repetitions on the top and 11 red repetitions on the bottom of the white strip.

    There are Arabic writings in the border line of the stripes. These are 22 copies of the main Islamic phrase Allahu Akbar meaning "God is greater (than everything)". They are written in a beautiful ancient manner dating back to the first centuries of Islam. You can find the same way of writing (which is called Kufic from the city of Kufa, now in Iraq) on old mosques throughout Iran.

    According to the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the number 22 was chosen because the Islamic Revolution (known as the 1979 revolution in western chronology) overthrew the previous regime on the 22nd of the 11th month of the Iranian Calendar. The Iranian Calendar is based on Zodiac signs. The year begins on March 21st and the 11th month coincides exactly with Aquarius.

    This text is called the Takbir, and is also found on the flags of Iraq and Afghanistan, although not 11 (or 22) times.
