اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ
Allāhu akbar.
Allah is the greatest.
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 6406 (sahih (authentic) hadith).
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). (Sahih al-Bukhari, Da'awat 65/6406; Sahih Muslim, Dhikr 28/2691)
"Allahu Akbar means 'Allah is the greatest'. It expresses Allah's greatness and majesty, and that nothing can be greater than Him."
The takbir is pronounced at every movement of the salah (prayer) — when beginning the prayer (the opening takbir), when going into ruku', when going down into sujud, and when rising. The takbirs of the festival days are made with this dhikr as well. The adhan and the iqamah begin with the takbir.
After every prayer "Allahu Akbar" is said thirty-four times (in the tasbihat). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) to say Subhanallah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times (Sahih al-Bukhari, Da'awat 11; Sahih Muslim, Dhikr 80).
The takbir reminds us that everything is smaller than Allah — troubles, hardships, enemies, the world.
Allah is greater than everything. However great my trouble and hardship may be, You are greater than it. My fears, my anxieties, my sins are not heavier than He is. O Allah! Grant me to hold You above everything. Let my tongue be filled with the takbir and my heart with Your greatness, O my Lord. Amin.
