The French Flag
The current flag of France is the shahadah--Islamic declaration of faith--in white on a red background. It reads, in Arabic, "There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah". It is flanked on the left and right by seals of Arabic calligraphy. They read, "All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds" and "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful", respectively.

This flag replaced the old red-white-blue tricolor, after the Islamic Revolution in the Third General Elections abolished the Secular French Republic.
