    ... and when killing innocent people.

    Grammatically, to my knowledge, it should either be Allahu al-akbar (superlative) or Allahu akbar min... (comparative, which should add the object Allah is compared to). Therefore, in my opinion, it should go "Allahu akbar min al adyan" = God is bigger than the religions

    Now you are comparing God with religions.

        But comparing God with religions? How can we compare God with religions? We shouldn't compare God with ANYTHING in the first place. God is Unique.

          Peace,

          I agree,

          I cant find the exact verse but it goes something like this..

          'Do not present comparisons to God, god knows, while you do not know'

          Peace

            Adam,

            I referred to the grammatical use of Ka-Be-Ra.

            As for God, God obviously stands above primitive religions.

            Be well

              on another place God is saying towards people who use to associate partners with God..

              GOD IS ABOVE FROM WHATEVER THEY ASSOCIATE WITH HIM, THEY ARE CLEARLY SPEAKING LIE ABOUT GOD WHAT THEY DNT KNOW

              its mean when we try to catch God or try to restrict God in particular form word anything its a kind of association.. the language is the code of interpretating the ideas of human mind, but human always wanted to see and understand things by their own mind.. so result comes in confusion and people make religions of their own choice.. in which they associate God with images, statues, prophets, in some cases animals. but its doesent affect Allah it will just affect them if they know..

                Peace

                Does anyone have a source or knows the origine of this sentence "allahu akbaar" ? Even from hadith or Islamic tradition.

                    Peace imran,

                    I don't think that it's appropriate to use allah (the god) in a sensless sentence. Well, it is simply not appropriate to say sensless speech anyway.... else we would become sensless ourselves.

                    If you accept that sentence to be correct, then what would prevent you from using any sentence like "Allah is X" where X is any word from arabic dictionary.

                    For example "Allahu asgharu"?

                      hmmm ,

                      but i think we already discussed about it, saying God is great . God is excellent, God is brilliant , or anything that praise lord is a good sign to remember our lord...

                      even the very first sentence in the quran after bismillah is

                      All praises are subjected to God , who is the lord of all the universes.. chapter one verse 2 isnt it...

                      so i dnt think so its any harm saying in it...

                      peace and God bless you..

                        It doesn't translate to "God is great" but to "the god is greater" which is an incomplete sentence.

                          great greater greatest,,, hmm three forms of english grammer of verb ...

                          but what is i see even great greator or greatest... one time you say billions times you say or trillions times.. its dosent affect the higness or greatness of God .. Allah is already great...

                          after english comes on math.. greater than... > smaller then< God is greator than x

                          put anything in x.. result will be same again... becoz there are rules in math that indicate if you mutiply 0 with trillions the result will be zero..
                          again God is one and one is the only nnumber that is multiple by any number, on unending loop .. God is one greater greatest God.. there is nothing like him 112

                          again look we are talking about our rules of math and grammer...

                          all i see it may b a grammer mistake... and in our language we speak lot of grammer errors and we are not even aware about it that we are using wrong grammer...

                          i never see any body in any language that use perfect grammer in their daily life ,, so y bring this issue even u prove its a grammer error but the concept is very clear thats what focus i think..

                          i remeber sometimes people say write capital A with the name of allah does it really matter. i think yes becoz in exam if u write small a u get negetive marking , but if there are no exams and lord know you are loyal with god then he really dnt need you to wirte capital A,,

                          peace and have a happy advance eid
