and Boko Haram. The design shows the shahada in an arrangement that includes the image of the historical "seal of Muhammad" (more precisely, the "seal" design is based on a 1980s facsimile of Ottoman era copies of letters written and sealed by Muhammad, in which the copyists had manually inked the seal impression; the jihadist flags seen in press photographs do not show the seal as circular but in a slightly irregular shape that faithfully mimicks one particular such specimen; see w:seal of Muhammad for details). Also note that the representation of this seal formerly uploaded to commons but since deleted is merely a graphist's "fictionalisation" of what the seal might have looked like; the actual artefact on exhibit as the "seal of Muhammad" in Istanbul is rectangular)
Español: La bandera del Estado Islámico (IS). Esta bandera también es usada por al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda en la Península Arábiga (AQAP), al-Qaeda en el Maghreb Islámico (AQMI) y Boko Haram.
