What is the meaning and deep wisdom in the proclamation of Allaho Akbar? (English) - Majalis al Hikma

<p>In every Azaan, Iqamat and Namaaz we say “Allaho Akbar.” Literally, we attest that “God is greater.” What does this mean? Why do we proclaim Allaho Akbar so frequently?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Saying something ‘is greater’ entails that there is a smaller version – but there is no ‘smaller’ God. And God has no likeness, so what is Allah greater than?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Our Awliya’ Kiraam have instructed us that namaaz can only be started by proclaiming Allaho Akbar, and without this namaaz is not valid. What is the reason for this?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Syedna TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 72nd in the Majalis al Hikma series.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in *Dawat ni Zabaan*:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/b90xfBw71jU</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in *English*:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/3DHJzJuUN6c</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in *Arabic*:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/8kro_5YzWXE</p> <p><br></p> <p>Listen to audio podcast:</p> <p>https://anchor.fm/fatemidawat</p> <p><br></p> <p>Questions can be asked by email to info@fatemidawat.com</p>
