The term itself literally translates to “God is greater”, but is sometimes used as "God is the Greatest" Most people in the West are aware of the Takbir through the videos you see online where a soldier or a fighter will shout “Allahu Akbar Anas bin Malik narrated that: Umm Sulaim came upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "Teach me some words that I can say in my Salat." So he said: "Mention Allah's Greatness (saying: Allahu Akbar) ten times, mention Allah's Glory (saying: Subhan Allah) ten times, and mention Allah's praise (saying: Al-Hamdulilah) ten times. Saying Subhana Allah when seeing the lightning or hearing the thunder is a supererogatory act. Abu Dawood reported in his book of 'Maraseel' from Ubaidullah Ibn Abi J'afar that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "If you hear the thunder say 'Subhana Allah' but do not say 'Allahu Akbar'" . Ibn Jarir also reported from Abu Hurairah In the same token, prayer commences with the recital of “Allahu akbar” {Allah is greater} and this makes such things as eating, drinking and talking, forbidden {haram} for the person praying. Thus, the first takbir (utterance of Allahu akbar) in prayer is called Takbirah al-Ihram. Along the way to Mecca, the pilgrims repeat the recital of Allahu Akbar – Allah is the greatest. SubhanAllah – Glory be to Allah. Alhamdulillah – All praise is due to Allah. SubhanAllahi wa bi hamdihi, subhanAllahi-l ’adheem – All glory is to Allah and all praise to Him. Glorified is Allah, the great. Supplicating duas .
