The Islamic symbol which is the crescent and a star is used as a symbol for Muslims because Muslims follow the Lunar calendar. Muslims also might use it to paint as a decoration.
I hope this helps!

∙ 14y agoI suppose you are talking about the moon and the crescent? This was not associated with Islam until the Ottoman (Osman) Empire chose that symbol. I believe it derived from a situation earlier in the time of the Prophet (pbuh) and people used the moon and crescent to associate themselves with Islam. However, as far as I know, there is no symbol for Islam.

∙ 13y agoIt is not true. Islam has no religious symbol to be used. There is no Islam symbol in the sense as the cross for Christians or David star for the Jews. The more common use of the moon and the star was something historical and traditional that came since the time of the ottoman empire when the Turks were using this symbol in their flags.
