—— 📮*T A K B E E R* ✨ —— The *repetition of the Takbeer* is a call to *root Tawheed firmly in the heart,* so that the ‘*Aqidah becomes deeply established*. | Reflections on the *Meanings of Takbeer*. 📿They are three consecutive Takbeers like pearls in a necklace chosen from the noblest words and phrases. ☝🏼It is the word of monotheism and dedication followed by another Takbeer celebrating The One True God and by a third Takbeer mingled with gratitude and praise. 🍯They trip on the tongue sweeter than honey! When a Muslim sees the letters decorated in such a way, he feels comfortable, happy, and is exhausted no more. 👑Takbeer signifies worshiping Allah The Almighty by celebrating His Name Al-Kabeer (The Grandest) and the implication of His being Grand. 🤲🏼Allah The Almighty ordained for His slaves to do all that helps to magnify these sublime attributes and glorify these beautiful Names although He is in no need for that. ✍🏼Allah The Almighty is Grand necessitates drawing close to Him by means of this Name, {And glorify Him with [grand] glorification."}[Quran 17:111] ♥️Takbeer should be a means whereby the slave seeks to understand the Name of Allah Al-Kabeer and realize the impact of this beautiful Name in terms of worshiping Allah, believing in His Oneness, and loving Him. ✨He is Al-‘Aliyy (the Most High) in a way that is never subject to physical requirements, and He is Al-Kabeer (the Grandest) whose Grandness does not contradict the perfection of highness. ♾Takbeer is one of the most apparent rituals of Islam and faith, and is the most oft-repeated by the tongue. 📣In the Athaan (call for prayer); it includes four Takbeers, not only one; each declaring the ritual and confirming the effects of its peer. 🙌🏽It is the beginning of every prayer; obligatory or voluntary, congregational or individual. So, Takbeer is the key and entrance of prayer. 🧎‍♂️Takbeer opens the gate of prayer for the Muslim and lets him move from one position to another, affirming the continuous worship of the heart by glorifying Allah The Almighty ⚖️In principle, the duties of prayer weigh heavy for the Muslim, but Takbeer facilitates it and makes it light and easy for the soul. 🧯Allahu Akbar is to be said in every difficult matter; Allahu Akbar is to be said when something terrifies the person so that it is alleviated like extinguishing a fire. 🧗Allahu Akbar is to be said when something raises the person so that it disciplines him, like going up an incline while traveling. 🤺Allahu Akbar is to be said when the person fears something so that it is fended off, like the evil eye. 🥷Allahu Akbar is to be said when an obstacle resists the person so that it is destroyed, as in the conquest of the Roman Empire and in every difficult matter. 💪🏽Allahu Akbar is the provision of the religious people whereby they seek strength and follow the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ when he said: "Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar! May Khaybar be destroyed!" [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 🏃🏽‍♂️Likewise, Allahu Akbar is to be said in every battle, at every obstacle, in every situation of treachery and treason, and in every doubt and trial. 🔋Allahu Akbar is to be said in any difficult situation that is heavy on him, so that the person's heart is attached to the Grandness of Allah The Almighty whereby he seeks strength and help and on which he relies. 👧🏼For younger children you can adapt this by looking at tangible things (the mountains, the sky, the desert, the ocean) they can see which Allah has created and relate it to His beautiful names and attributes.Macro and micro photography is wonderful for exemplifying the amazing detail and beauty in the creation (from near and far). ♦️Read more reflections and internalise the meanings while you say Takbeerat - https://www.islamweb.net/en/article/172065/reflections-on-the-meanings-of-takbeer-iii ♦️Takbir of the tongue and the heart by Shaykh Saleh Sindi حفظه الله.
