This five-pointed upright star, comprised of five distinct diamond shapes, is the emblem of the Druze faith, an offshoot of Islam. Each segment is often colored according to its meaning.

The five points of the star remind followers of the religion of the five universal principles of the faith:

1 The masculine element, the Sun and the mind. This segment is often colored green.

2 The feminine element and the Moon, colored red.

3 The Word, considered the mediator between the Divine and humankind, colored yellow.

4 Will and the realms of possibility, colored blue.

5 Finally, the white segment of the star represents actualization, the manifestation of the Word and the Will.
