Answer: True
Explanation:
Flags were probably transmitted to Europe by the Saracens, and the prohibition in Islam against using any identifiable image as idolatrous influenced their design. They are often mentioned in the early history of Islam and may have been copied from India, but Islamic flags are greatly simplified and appear to have been plain black or white or red. Black was supposed to have been the colour of the Prophet Muhammad’s banner—the colour of vengeance. A black flag was used by the ʿAbbāsids in 746 CE (AH 129), the Umayyads choosing white by contrast and the Khārijites red. Green was the colour of the Fāṭimid dynasty and eventually became the colour of Islam. In adopting the crescent sign, however, about 1250, the Ottoman Turks apparently were reverting to an Assyrian sacred symbol of the 9th century BCE and probably of greater antiquity than that. The crescent moon, with or without an additional star or stars, has since become the accepted official symbol of Islam.
It is true that Saracens from the Middle East used simplified national flags that gained popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
So the correct answer is "true."
We have to say that historians consider that the first ones that used symbols to identify their troops were ancient people from China.
Other scholars say that it was ancient people from India the first to use flags as a symbol in war.
When the concept of flags arrived in Europe, historians think that was brought by Middle East people. Specifically, the Saracens.
The Saracens were Arabs that practiced Muslim teachings from Islam and worshiped Ala through the teachings of the prophet Mohammed.
We conclude that flags were an early symbol to identify groups of people or troops in the war. It was the Saracens who brought this concept to Europe during the Middle Age.
