Significance of white and green colors in Islam

Question

I know the white color stands for peace in Islam but I don't know why the green color is used in so many Muslim flags.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

There is no particular significance for the white or green colours in Islam. In fact, if there is any particular significance to any colour for Muslims, it is a conventional one not a legal one. So, the person who does not comply with this indications is not against the Shari‘a.

Allah knows best.
