The stripes represent the country's four main islands: Moheli, Njazidja, Ndzuwani and Mayotte. The four stars also represent the main islands. The island of Mayotte still belongs to France, but Comoros considers the island its own.

The crescent, the stars and the green color are traditional Islamic symbols. The flag is inspired by an earlier flag, supposed to symbolize the socialist ideology of the island country.
