—  Sura 55, verse 76. [1]
Upon them will be green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Water Pure and Holy.

A passage from the Quran describes paradise as a place where people "will wear green garments of fine silk." One hadith, or teaching, says, "When Allah's Apostle died, he was covered with a Hibra Burd," which is a green square garment. As a result, you'll see green used to color the binding of Qurans, the domes of mosques,

During the crusades, Islamic soldiers wore green to identify themselves..

White is perhaps the second-most associated color with Islam. The color white symbolizes purity and peace and so it is often worn by Muslims attending Friday prayers.

Green white green is it a sign that Nigeria is an Islamic republic and that is why that Nigeria Muslims always claim that the country belong to them..
