Allāhu akbaru Allāhu akbaru Allāhu akbar. Allāhu akbaru kabīrā, wa-l-ḥamdu li-llāhi kathīrā, wa Subḥāna-llāhi bukratan wa aṣīlā. Lā ilāha illa-llāh, wa lā na‘budu illā iyyāh, mukhliṣīna lahu-d-dīna wa law kariha-l-kāfirūn. Lā ilāha illa-llāhu waḥdah, ṣadaqa wa‘dah, wa naṣara ‘abdah, wa hazama-l-aḥzāba waḥdah. Lā ilāha illa-llāhu wa-llāhu akbar.

Context

According to our companions, the words of the takbīr are: Allah is greater, Allah is greater, Allah is greater. This should be said continually, and one may repeat it as much as he likes. Ash-Shāfi‘ī and his colleagues hold that if one adds anything to it he should say: Allah is greater, all praise is due to Allah, and glory be to Allah in the morning and in the evening. There is no god but Allah and we worship none but Him, fulfilling our religion sincerely for Him even though the disbelievers dislike it. There is no god but Allah, the One; He has fulfilled His promise and made His servant victorious and routed the tribes by Himself. There is no god but Allah and Allah is greater.
