National flag
The flag of Kuwait (علم الكويت) was adopted on September 7, 1961, and officially hoisted November 24, 1961. Before 1961, the flag of Kuwait was red and white, like those of other Persian Gulf states at the time, with the field being red and words or charges being written in white. It is the only flag in the world featuring an acute trapezium. When the Utub settled in Kuwait, Kuwaiti ships were flying a flag common on the western coast of the Persian Gulf, a red flag added to it near the mast a serrated white ribbon similar to the current Bahrain flag and was called in the name of the Sulaimi flag. This flag was raised in the rule of Sheikh Sabah I bin Jaber in 1752 to 1871. During the period of Ottoman rule in Kuwait, the Ottoman flag, red with a white crescent and star, was used. This flag was retained after the country became a British protectorate in the Anglo Kuwaiti Agreement of 1899. In 1903, Lord Curzon, the British Viceroy and Governor General of India visited Kuwait, and Sheikh Mubarak Al Sabah received him and raised a red flag with white words, توكلنا على الله (We trust in God) in Arabic writing. This avoided the diplomatic faux pax, given Kuwait was under British protection, of raising the Ottoman flag. Two different flag designs were proposed but not adopted in the period after this. The first proposal in 1906, a red flag with white Western letters spelling (KOWEIT) and the second in 1913, the Ottoman flag but the word كويت (Kuwait) in Arabic writing as a canton. The Ottoman flag kept being used until the First World War, when friendly fire incidents with the British in 1914 during the Mesopotamian campaign around the river Shatt al Arab occurred due to Kuwait and the enemy Ottomans both using the same flag. Because of this Kuwait adopted a new flag, red with كويت (Kuwait) in Arabic writing. This version was in use until 1940, when he also added a stylized falcons claw to the flag. These flags were also depicted on the Emblems of Kuwait. The red flag remained the national flag of Kuwait until the adoption of the current one in September 1961. The present flag is in the Pan Arab colours, but each colour is also significant in its own right. Scheme Textile colour Red The Hashemite dynasty, symbolizes the blood on the swords of Muslim warriors. White The Umayyad dynasty, symbolizes purity and noble deeds. Green The Fatimid dynasty or Rashidun Caliphate, represents the fertile land of Arabia. Black The Abbasid dynasty, represents the defeat of enemies in battle. The colours' meaning came from a poem by Safie Al Deen Al Hali:
White are our deeds
Black are our battles
Green are our lands
Red are our swords
Rules of hanging and flying the flag:
Horizontally: The green stripe should be on top. Vertically: The red stripe should be on the left side of the flag. In 2005, it became the design of the world's largest kite at a size of 1019 square metres. It was made in New Zealand by Peter Lynn, launched to the public for the first time in 2004 in the United Kingdom, officially launched in Kuwait in 2005, and has not been surpassed since. The flag can also appear to resemble the corner of a room, with the green and red being the ceiling and floor, and mismatched black and white walls.

Кувейт туы (علم الكويت) 1961 жылдың 7 қыркүйегінде қабылданды және 1961 жылдың 24 қарашасында ресми түрде көтерілді. 1961 жылға дейін Кувейт туы, сол кездегі Парсы шығанағының басқа мемлекеттері сияқты, қызыл және ақ түсті болды, ал тудың негізі қызыл, ал жазулар мен бейнелер ақ түспен жазылған. Әлемде өткір трапеция пішіндес ту – осы ғана. Утуб тайпасы Кувейтке қоныстанған кезде, кувейттік кемелер Парсы шығанағының батыс жағалауында көп кездесетін туды көтеріп жүрді. Оған мачтаға жақын орналасқан қызыл ту қосылды, ал оның үстінде қазіргі Бахрейн туына ұқсас тігілген ақ жолақ болды. Бұл ту 1752-1871 жылдары шейх Сабах I бин Жабердің тұсында қолданылды. Кувейт Осман империясының билігінде болған кезде, ақ ай мен жұлдызы бар қызыл Осман туы қолданылды. 1899 жылғы Англо-Кувейт келісімінде ел британдық протекторатқа айналғаннан кейін бұл ту сақталды. 1903 жылы британдық вице-королі және Үндістанның генерал-губернаторы лорд Керзон Кувейтке келді, оны шейх Мубарак Аль-Сабах қабылдады және араб тілінде «توكلنا على الله» (Біз Құдайға сенеміз) деген жазуы бар қызыл ту көтерді. Бұл Кувейттің британдық қорғауында екенін ескере отырып, Осман туын көтеруге байланысты дипломатиялық қатеден сақтады. Одан кейін екі түрлі ту дизайны ұсынылды, бірақ қабылданбады. Бірінші ұсыныс 1906 жылы – ақ батыс әріптерімен «KOWEIT» деп жазылған қызыл ту, екіншісі 1913 жылы – араб тілінде «كويت» (Кувейт) сөзі кантон ретінде жазылған Осман туы. Бірінші дүниежүзілік соғысқа дейін Осман туы қолданыла берді, 1914 жылы Шатт әл-Араб өзені маңындағы Месопотамия науқаны кезінде кувейттіктер мен жау Османдықтардың екі жағы да бірдей туды қолданғандықтан британдықтармен қақтығыс болды. Осыған байланысты Кувейт араб тілінде «كويت» (Кувейт) деп жазылған қызыл жаңа туды қабылдады. Бұл нұсқа 1940 жылға дейін қолданыста болды, содан кейін туға стильдес бүркіттің тырнағы қосылды. Бұл тулар Кувейт елтаңбасында да бейнеленген. 1961 жылдың қыркүйегінде қазіргі ту қабылданғанға дейін қызыл ту Кувейттің ұлттық туы болып қала берді. Қазіргі ту панарабтық түстерде, бірақ әр түстің өзіндік мағынасы бар.

These flags were also depicted on the Emblems of Kuwait. The red flag remained the national flag of Kuwait until the adoption of the current one in September 1961. The present flag is in the Pan Arab colours, but each colour is also significant in its own right. Scheme Textile colour Red The Hashemite dynasty, symbolizes the blood on the swords of Muslim warriors. White The Umayyad dynasty, symbolizes purity and noble deeds.

In 1903, Lord Curzon, the British Viceroy and Governor General of India visited Kuwait, and Sheikh Mubarak Al Sabah received him and raised a red flag with white words, توكلنا على الله (We trust in God) in Arabic writing. This avoided the diplomatic faux pax, given Kuwait was under British protection, of raising the Ottoman flag. Two different flag designs were proposed but not adopted in the period after this.
