Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | Speaking Tree Website | November 07, 2016The phrase Allahu Akbar (or 'God is Great') is the most important part of the Islamic prayer. The declaration of God being the Greatest is heard the most number of times in a Muslim's life.This shows that in Islam the most important thing is that a person should discover the greatness of God.The phrase "God is Great" enjoys the status of a master-stroke in a person's life. [Highlight1] If you truly discover God you will be transformed into a completely new person. Your life will become a truly God-centred one. God will become your sole concern. Everything other than God will become secondary for you. You will stop thinking in materialistic terms. You will seek success in the Hereafter. You will have no negative thinking. You will become modest and be freeof arrogance.The phrase Allahu Akbaris a complete way of life for a person. In fact, Allahu Akbar is the essence of faith.
