Historically, the National Flag Of Qatar was plain red in color and based on the banner used by the Kharijite Muslims. As per the directive by the British, a white stripe was added to the flag in the 19th century. Later, a white and purple-red flag was adopted. In 1932, the Flag Of Qatar received several additions like diamonds, the word “Qatar” in Arabic, and the serrated edge.

The maroon color was first used in 1949. Later, the name of the country and the diamonds were removed from the Qatar National Flag. The flag that is used today was formally adopted on July 9, 1971.
