What is Emblem of Afghanistan?
[[File:Arms of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.svg|thumb|Emblem of the [[Afghanistan|Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan]]]] The '''Coat of arms of [[Afghanistan]]''' has appeared in some form on the [[Flag of Afghanistan]] since the inception of that nation. The most notable absence was during the 1980s when a [[Communist]] regime ruled the nation, and in the late 1990s, during the rule of the [[Taliban]]. The latest incarnation of the coat of arms has the added inscription of the [[shahadah]] in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] at the top. Below it is the image of a [[mosque]] with a [[mehrab]] that is facing [[Mecca]] with a prayer mat inside. Attached to the mosque are two flags, taken to stand for flags of Afghanistan. Beneath the mosque is an inscription that states the name of the nation. Around the mosque is a garland. It is white. {{Coats of arms of Asia}} {{Asia-stub}} [[Category:National emblems|Afghanistan]] [[Category:National symbols of Afghanistan]]
