The non existence of a religious symbol or symbols for Islam religion or for Muslims is on purpose in order for Muslims to be not distracted and seek the blessings of this symbol instead of, or together with, seeking the blessing of the one God (or Allah in Arabic) the Creator; as usually done by many Christians through using the symbol of the Cross.
The crescent moon and star is an internationally and politically recognized symbol and is featured on the flags of several Muslim countries. It is even part of the official emblem for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. However, it is not a symbol of the Islam faith. It is just historical symbol that has nothing to do with the religion.
The Crescent moon may be thought as a symbol of Islam because the Islamic calendar is a Lunar calendar and not a Solar calendar. Muslims use the lunar calendar to mark the beginning of months (It's important for their fasting month, and the pilgrimage month).
During the life time of prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a plain green flag was used.

∙ 13y agoSome people think that the star and moon represent Islam symbol.
However, it should be emphasized that the star and moon symbol has nothing to do with Islam religion. There is no symbol for Islam religion.
This symbol was used historically by Turkish army during the ottoman dynasty when the Turkish were controlling the Islamic world for hundreds of years. This may be the reason of having this symbol popular in some Islamic countries. It is worthy to mention that the flag in time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was just a rectangular plain green piece of cloth.

Crescent & Star! That is not the symbol of Islam! The Crescent represents The Holy Month of Ramadan & the star represents the direction of the Kabaa. But none are symbols of Islam only symbols of month & direction. Actually the real symbol of Islam is divided by two: 1)ALLAH: This word represents the name of god & a symbol reminding people of god. 2)LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH: A symbol that reminds people the unity of god Used in The Saudi Flag. Both symbols are not used as symbols but used as words because they are words. & Allah Knows Best...
