Selangor's emblem is an interesting amalgam of items that represent courage and royalty. The crescent moon and star in the centre represents Islam, the official religion. The central red spear, the Sambu Warna, the sword on the right, the Keris Pendek and the sword on the left, the Keris Panjang, are part of the state's Royal Regalia. The Jawi calligraphy in red reads the state's motto, 'Under the Protection of Allah'. A tali bengkung or broad belt worn by warriors of the state in ancient times appears below the motto.
