Transliteration

Allahu Akbar

Translation

Allah is the Most Great.

Then he would say:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ سَاجِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ، صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ

Transliteration

Laa 'ilaaha 'illAllahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay 'in Qadeer, 'aa'iboona taa'iboona, 'aabidoona, sajeedoona, lirabbinaa haamidoona, sadaqAllahu wa'dahu, wa nasara 'abdahu, wa hazamal-'ahzaaba wahdahu

Translation

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partener. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. We return repentant to our Lord, worshipping our Lord, and praising our Lord. He fulfilled His Promise, He aided His slave, and He alone defeated the Confederates.
