الكبير
Al-Kabir
Mkubwa Zaidi
Maana
Al-Kabir ni Yule aliye mkuu asiye na mfano — mkuu zaidi ya viumbe vyote, mkuu zaidi ya utambuzi wote, mkuu zaidi ya maelezo yote. Tunaposema "Allahu Akbar" (Mungu ni Mkuu Zaidi), tunaomba maana hii: kwamba Allah ni mkuu zaidi ya unachokikabili, mkuu zaidi ya unachokiogopa, mkuu zaidi ya kinachokuvuruga kutoka kwake. Takbira hii inafungua sala yetu kwa sababu kuingia mazungumzo na Al-Kabir kunapaswa kutukumbusha kwamba hakuna kingine maishani mwetu kinacholingana naye. Yeye ni mkuu zaidi ya matatizo yako, mkuu zaidi ya wadhalimu wako, mkuu zaidi ya matamanio yako, na mkuu zaidi ya uelewa wako. Hakuna kilichopo kilicho kibir (kikuu) ikilinganishwa naye.
Katika Quran
Surah Luqman (31:30): "That is because Allah is the Truth, and that what they call upon other than Him is falsehood, and because Allah is the Most High, the Grand (Al-Kabir)."
