What is the significants of the symbol on the Islamic flag?

I noticed there will be three planets in conjucture with a quater moon tonight and I seem to remember something about the planet Venus being next to a quartered moon being the symbol of the Islamic flag.

Anyone know what the symbol means?

Thanks in advance.

    The Islamic flag is a white flag, not that of which you describe. The moon and crescent was introduced by the Ottoman Empire which is often mistaken to be the flag of Islam.
