Quick fact: The first to raise the flag in a Ghazwa for the Muslims was Hazrat Hamza (R.A).

Explanation

Hazrat Hamza (R.A), the beloved uncle of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), was known as "Asadullah" (the Lion of Allah) for his exceptional bravery. He was the first to carry the Muslim banner in battle, which took place during Ghazwa Badr, the first major battle of Islam. The flag (Liwa) was a symbol of leadership and command, and being entrusted with it was a great honor reflecting Hazrat Hamza's courage and status among the early Muslims.

Good to know

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) personally handed the white flag to Hazrat Hamza (R.A) before the commencement of Ghazwa Badr. Hazrat Hamza embraced Islam in the 6th year of Prophethood and was martyred in Ghazwa Uhud. He is among the Ashra Mubashra (the ten companions promised Paradise) and was known for his fierce defense of Islam during the difficult Makkan period.
