Not to be confused with Takfir.
The takbīr (Arabic: تَكْبِير, pronounced[tak.biːr], lit.'magnification [of God]') is the name for the Arabic phrase Allāhu ʾakbar (Arabic: ٱللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ, pronounced[ʔaɫ.ɫaː.huʔak.bar]ⓘ, lit.'God is greater than everything').[1][2][3][4]
It is a common Arabic expression, used in various contexts by Muslims and Arabs around the world: in formal Salah (prayer),[4] in the Adhan (Islamic call to prayer),[5] in Hajj, as an informal expression of faith, in times of distress or joy, or to express resolute determination or defiance. The phrase is the official motto of Iran. It is also used by Arab Christians.[6]
