The Black Banner or Black Standard (Arabic: راية السوداء rāyat as-sawdāʾ, also known as راية العقاب rāyat al-ʿuqāb "banner of the eagle" or simply as الراية ar-rāya "the banner") is one of the flags flown by Muhammad in Islamic tradition. It was historically used by Abu Muslim in his uprising leading to the Abbasid Revolution in 747 and is therefore associated with the Abbasid Caliphate in particular. It is also a symbol in Islamic eschatology (heralding the advent of the Mahdi).
The Black Banner has been used in contemporary Islamism and jihadism since the late 1990s. It is commonly used as the flag of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Thanks SGT John " Mac " McConnell for sharing a summary of the background and significance of the Black Banner or Black Standard (Arabic: راية السوداء rāyat as-sawdāʾ, which was supposedly one of the flags flown by Muhammad in Islamic tradition.
Yes the lowlife ISIS thugs have taken up the mantle under their own corrupted authority as the y attempt to initiate the Grand Caliphate in Muslim tradition.
Most of ISIS is destined for eternal punishment since they reject the true God and HIS Christ.
