The emblem includes a mosque with a mihrab and minbar, flanked by two wheat stalks, topped by the Shahada in Arabic script, and inscribed with “الله أكبر” and the year 1298 in the Solar Hijri calendar (1919 CE), marking independence. The colors symbolize historical periods: black for the emirate era, red for sacrifice and bloodshed, and green for hope and agriculture.
