How often do we hear loud slogans from the lips of Muslims: "Allahu Akbar!" What does this phrase mean, that it carries in itself, threat or good, a call for good or evil? Let's try to understand.

"Allahu Akbar": translation from Arabic and the meaning of the phrase

"Allahu Akbar", which means "Allah the Great" (translated from Arabic) is a recognition of the greatness of the only creator of all things, the merciful Lord of all people, one of whose names is Allah.

"Allah Akbar" in Arabic means a great Lord, whose power and power is above all else.

This phrase reflects the history of Islam from the very first moments of its appearance on Earth. The Prophet, who brought the religion of Islam to people - Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), from the very beginning fought for the main goal - to tell people about the unity of the Lord, about the Creator, who alone encompasses all the power and power of the surrounding nature. On the futility of pleading idols and cult monuments, about delusion about the division of God into parts responsible for various goods - fertility, wealth, family or power.

God is One, and He is Great so that absolutely all the phenomena and events that occur, the processes and laws of the world, the universe, galaxies and spiritual matters are subject only to him alone, his Power of Government and Majesty.
