Example sentences

قال أبو صالح الراوي عن أبي هريرة، لما سئل عن كيفية ذكرهن، قال يقول سبحان الله، والحمد لله، والله أكبر، حتى يكون منهن كلهن ثلاثًا وثلاثين
Abu Salih, the narrator from Abu Hurairah, when asked about how to recite them, said: 'Say: Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar until each is thirty-three.'
أَكْبَرُ — Allahu Akbar. This is the predicate 'greatest', an elative completing 'God [is] greatest'. It belongs to the no-nunation 'diptote' class, so its ending stays bare. So 'Allahu akbar' = God is greatest.
