The six-pointed star in the Islamic Middle East is a symbol of the ring or seal of the Prophet

Islam: In Islam, the 8-pointed star is called the Khatim Sulayman or Seal of Solomon, and is associated with the biblical King Solomon, who is considered a prophet in Islam. The star is also believed to represent the unity of the seven days of the week with the day of rest, which is Friday in Islamic tradition.
In Islam, the hexagram is referred to as the “Seal of Solomon,” and it adorns many mosques around the world. Until 1945, the emblem was also found on the Moroccan flag. It was changed to the five-pointed star (pentagram), when the six-pointed star became the emblem of the Zionist movement.
Crescent and Star: The faith of Islam is symbolized by the Crescent and Star. The Crescent is the early phase of the moon and represents progress. The star signifies illumination with the light of knowledge.
The surah is also known for referencing the star Sirius in verse 49, where it is given the name الشِّعْرَى (transliteration: aš-ši'rā or ash-shira; the leader). The verse is: "وأنَّهُ هُوَ رَبُّ الشِّعْرَى", "That He is the Lord of Sirius (the Mighty Star)."
In Islam, the heptagram is used to represent the first seven verses in the Quran. The heptagram is used in the symbol for Babalon in Aleister Crowley's occult system Thelema. The heptagram is known among neopagans as the Elven Star or Fairy Star.
