The flag of Al-Isra (Israel) is centered with an 8 pointed star known as the Shield of Abraham. It represents
the 8th day Abrahamic Covenant, the 8 sons of Abraham and King David being the 8th son of Jesse. It also
illustrates the 8 sides of the Al-Aqsa Masjid which now serves as the restoration of the Solomonic Temple
which was an 8 sided structure as well. The name Al-Isra which translates as Israelites refers to the Prophet
Muhammad's journey and ascension beyond the 7th heaven from the holiest site of the Israelites in Jerusalem
being the location of the former Solomonic Temple known as Beyt Maqdis. The 12 stars above and below the
Abrahamic Shield represents the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 tribes of Ishmael. The Blue and White colors
of the flag represent the color of the sky and the ascension of both the Prophets Jacob and Muhammad who
were taken to the 8th heaven of Divinity known as Israel (Firdawz). Source:
