Allahu Akbar

You might have seen plenty of Muslims in so many parts of the world, in a protest or in a video or in a articles, even in comments saying Allah'u Akbar, over and over again.

Why so much emphasis on these words. whats so great about saying Allah'u Akbar for Muslims.

Lets look at the Islamic Call to prayer ( translated )-Also see Video

God is Greater , God is Greater
God is Greater , God is Greater

I testify that there is no God except God.
I testify that there is no God except God.

I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God.

Come to prayer! Come to prayer!

Come to success! Come to success!

God is Greater , God is Greater

There is none worthy of worship except God.

The Words Allah'u Akbar - translated would be God is greater.

You may ask yourself, greater then what ?? why does the chant stop there ?? whats the meaning of saying God is greater if your not gonna say whats its greater of ??

Which should lead to the only answer to it and that is anything. Thats the reasoning why its left the way it is and its direct and to the point. God is greater.

As they pray, as they celebrate, as they remorse, as they achieve, as they fall ( illness), as they protest, as the chant in agreement that God is greater, God is greater, God is greater.

Its easy to see that the words Allah'u Akbar is something that is not just simply associated to Muslims and Islam, It actually makes a Very Valid Point for ALL BELIEVERS, not only Muslims.

Who among the believers would dare to say that Muslims are wrong to say God is Greater ?? or greatest depending on the translator. either way the statment is pure, simple and straight forward. God is Greater.

  1. There is no God but God S.w.t and Mohammad-pbuh is God's prophet.

    The first commandment

    Thy shall have no god before me. ( almost identical to the Muslims first part of the shihada ) Allahu akbar
