Three horizontal bands of red, white and black, with the takbir 'Allahu Akbar' (God is Greatest) in green Kufic script across the central white band. Pan-Arab red-white-black tricolour. Green is the colour of Islam. The takbir was added by Saddam Hussein in 1991 in his own handwriting; in 2008, post-Saddam, the inscription was standardised to a typeset Kufic version.
