It symbolizes The House of Saud, not Islam. The "sword" symbol was added to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia flag in 1902 by Abdulaziz Abdulrahman Al-Saud.

The Saudis were originally installed as the leaders of an Arab State called Nejd, but they quickly conquered their neighbor, Hejaz, where all of the Islamic Holy Sites are located. This spectacular conquest created the modern union of Saudi Arabia. The sword is to remind the people of how the Saudis united the country by sword.
