The Saudi flag is the official flag of Saudi Arabia. It is rectangular in shape, with a width equal to two-thirds of its length. Its field is green and it bears the Shahada (There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) in Thuluth script, with a white Arabian sword beneath it whose hilt points toward the flagpole. It has been adopted since 15 March 1973. [7]

The Emblem of Saudi Arabia is the official emblem of the Kingdom. It is sometimes referred to as the two swords and the palm tree. It was adopted in 1950. The emblem consists of two crossed curved Arabian swords surmounted by a palm tree. The two swords symbolize strength, fortitude, and sacrifice, while the palm tree represents vitality, growth, and prosperity. [8]

National anthem

The Saudi Arabian national anthem has been the official anthem of Saudi Arabia since 1984. It was written by the Saudi poet Ibrahim Khafaji, [9] and composed by the Saudi musician Tariq Abdul Hakim in 1947 for the trumpet. Later, the musician Siraj Omar arranged the anthem for military brass instruments. [10]

The national anthem consists of four verses as follows:

Arabic original [11] [12] [13] [14] MSA Romanization [15] IPA transcription [a] English translation [16]

سَارِعِي
لِلمَجْدِ وَالعَلْيَاء
مَجِّدِي لِخَالِقِ السَّمَاء
وَارْفَعِي الخَفَّاقَ أَخْضَر [b]
يَحْمِلُ النُّورَ المُسَطَّر
رَدِّدِي: اللَّهُ أَكْبَر [c]
يَا مَوْطِنِي
مَوْطِنِي
قَدْ عِشْتَ فَخْرَ الْمُسْلِمِين
عَاشَ المَلِك
لِلعَلَم

Hasten
To glory and supremacy,
Glory in the Creator of the heavens!
And raise the green flag
Carrying the written light reflecting guidance,
Repeat: God is the greatest!
O my homeland!
My homeland,
Live as the pride of the Muslims!
Long live the King
For the flag
And the land!

Notes: Some variations remove the word قَدْ qad before "عِشْتَ فَخْرَ الْمُسْلِمِيْن ʿišta faxra l-muslimīn" and other variations use the word المَلِيك al-malīk instead of المَلِك al-malik.
