I wrote an article about Allahu Akbar’s significance, which I will publish after it is published in the news paper. Mathew commented on my face book and shared this wonderful poem. Allahu Akbar is about humility and not arrogance or incitement.

Allahu Akbar – God is Great
Words I say
When I turn from the world to pray
Words I say
When I bow down
Words I say
When I put my face to the ground
Words I say
When I lift my head from the floor
Words that signal a return
Words that prioritize
Words of humility
Words of attribution
Tremendous Words
Words not to be abused by madmen
Words not to be mocked by media men
Words not to be perverted by terrorism
Words not to be distorted by charlatans
Words of reverence
Words of faith
Words of exalting joy
Words sung out in the call to prayer
Words to celebrate breaking the month-long fast
Words to commemorate the sacrifice of Abraham
Words to consecrate the life that becomes our food
Words for the funeral prayer, the final salute
Words of salvation
Words of adoration
Words of elation
Words of liberation
Allahu Akbar – God is Great!
Allahu Akbar – God is Greater!
Allahu Akbar – God is Greatest!
Beautiful Words
Words, just words, and yet
Powerful Words!
Words only fit for Him!
