Takbir

تكبير
Text Size:
Takbir refers to the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar," meaning "Allah is the Greatest." It is perhaps the most frequent proclamation in the life of a Muslim, used to start the prayer, to mark transitions between prayer positions, and to celebrate joyous occasions like the Eids. The Takbir is a reminder that no matter how large a person’s problems or successes may seem, Allah is always greater. It is a declaration of divine supremacy that humbles the ego and provides the believer with courage and perspective in the face of life's challenges.
