"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar"?

**Dough Snatcher** · 07-31-2006, 02:23 PM

I heard Ghost say this in a couple of songs ("Jah World" & "Underwater") and i've been wondering what it means for a while. Anyone care to enlighten me?

its arabian.
means: allah is the greatest

Word word...What about that line he drops after that: in underwater:

"Bismillah ar-Rahman, ar-Raheem, Allah screamed"?

**wusis2k** · 07-31-2006, 02:34 PM

Bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim: "In (or with) the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful."

Not only does the Holy Quran begin with this verse, but it also heads every chapter of the Quran, except for Chapter 9. This verse is a part of the Quranic revelation and through which the Holy Prophet distinguished the separation of the various chapters. In short, this verse keeps on recurring and possesses such depth that it has been said that just as the Fatihah (the first chapter of the Quran) summarizes the entire Holy Quran so does this verse summarize the Fatihah. In other words this verse is the summary of the summary of the Quran. Therefore, I will make a general commentary on this verse, so that it will not be necessary to comment on this verse at the beginning of every chapter. It may be noted, however, that like the daily sun, this verse too shines with a new splendour and power at the beginning of each chapter of the Quran.

Found that in google.

I thought it translated into God is the Greatest not specifically Allah. Loose interpretation though. Allah does fit the saying though.

Dumbass christians....we believe in your god except we dont say God because we DONT ALL SPEAK ENGLISH. Allah = God, your god, you believe in Allah too so do Jews. Jesus is considered the Messiah in both Christianity and Islam, but Jews see all the prophets that came after their prophets as fakes.

God = Allah
Jesus is equal to Mohammed is equal to Moses is equal to all the Prophets

BUT WE DO NOT BELIEVE JESUS IS DIVINITY, WE BELIEVE THAT GOD CREATED HIM TO FURTHER HIS MESSAGE AS A HUMAN BEING JUST LIKE MOHAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!

and we don't think the black man is god, sorry 5%ers!
