Have you ever wondered why we start our prayer with \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d? Why don\u2019t we say \u201cSubhanallah\u201d, for instance? \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d is the key phrase because with it we affirm that Allah, before Whom we are about to stand, is greater than anything occupying us at that moment. He is greater than our job, greater than our business, greater than our sleep, our bills, our family and our children, greater than all that troubles or preoccupies us. And why do we raise our hands with it? We raise our hands to throw all of that behind us. We raise our hands, as a gesture of complete surrender.<\/p><p>When one stands to pray Allah commands, \u201cRaise the veils from between Me and my servant!\u201d From the instant you proclaim \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d, Allah now sets His Beautiful Glorious Face to yours ready and engaged, with you. And He doesn\u2019t turn away from you\u2026unless you do &#8211; That\u2019s when either you turn away with your head\/sight, or drift in heart and mind back to worldly matters. And if you turn or drift, He calls to you: \u201c[you turn] To what is better than I?\u201d and orders for the veils, to draw back down.<\/p><p>When you announce \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d, imagine that you are before the cameras and the red \u201cON THE AIR\u201d button has now been switched on. But it is not ordinary people who are watching you, it is The King Himself. In His hands is everything you are and everything you will ever be. In His hands is the entire universe, running in perfect order. Nothing, however big or small, escapes His control. How will you stand? Feel your heart race!<\/p><p>Upon \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d and as we proceed to recite; any bad deeds committed by our faculties suddenly begin to float up\u2026up until they reach our head and shoulders. Subsequently, with every Ruku [bow] and Sujood [prostration] we move to, these sins fall off and away, scattered and gone! [All the more reason for us to hold in those humbling positions longer before our Lord.]<\/p><p>With \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d, things we were permitted to do just moments before suddenly become forbidden&#8230;like food, drink, talk, unnecessary movement. What happened? What is different now? Well, these acts are not befitting of a meeting of this nature. For the servant has answered the call and now stands in humility before his Master. You are on a much higher level now. Focus. Are you still drifting? This is why we repeat these great words, \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d as we move to each position. It is a reminder, and a new chance to refocus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spiritual Dimension \u0627\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f \u0623\u064e \u0652\u0643\u0628\u064e\u0640\u064f\u0631\u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d \u00a0 Upon \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201dSo what really happens at \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d?
