A SOUND OF THE HAJJ DAYS
The Takbir of Tashreeq
Listen above, then follow the complete words of remembrance recited during the days of Hajj.
اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ، وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ
Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar, lā ilāha illā Allāh. Wa Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar, wa lillāhi al-ḥamd.
Allah is the Greatest; there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah. Allah is the Greatest, and all praise belongs to Allah.
