The star and crescent is a new innovation that has been adopted in Islam passed by the Persians or/and Greeks. Somehow like Christians use their symbol as a cross, some Muslims use the crescent and star as Islams symbol on top of the dome. Some scholars of Islam even think that it should be forbidden because there is no evidence that the crescent is a symbol prescribed by Islam and so they think it is better not to use it.
