Image(symbol): crecent and star
The crecent moon and star symbolize the Lord that a religion Islam follows. It is not exactly a symbol of Islam but an image or indirect symbol of it. The moon describes the lunar calendar that they follow. Many Islamic countries follow this symbol by keeping it on their flag.

According to these Muslim scholars, Islam has no symbols. The crescent (note spelling) and are ancient pagan symbols and later were used by the Ottoman Empire. Please read this site.

Summeror, y912f or Mysterychicken, we'd appreciate it if you kept the same name for all of your posts.
A lot of folks believe that. However, the origins of the crescent and star are far more pagan. They represent early worship of the Sun and Planets. Islam somehow took the symbols, because Mohammad used them symbolizing something else. Not many folks know the details, see the second link.

Your response seems accurate and provides a brief explanation of the crescent and star symbol in Islam. Here are a few suggestions to enhance your response:
1. Provide a more comprehensive explanation: Alongside mentioning that the crescent and star symbolize Islam, you can also mention that the crescent represents the lunar calendar and the star represents the guiding light of Allah or God in Islam.
2. Clarify the use of the symbol: While it is true that many Islamic countries feature the crescent and star on their flags, it is important to note that not all Muslim majority countries use this symbol. Therefore, you can mention that it is a common symbol associated with Islam, but not universally adopted by all Muslim countries.
Overall, your response is a good starting point, and by incorporating these suggestions, you can provide a more comprehensive explanation.
