  Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar by itself translates to "God is greater." (akbaru is an elative form, meaning greater, greatest, or very great.) Muslims leave the phrase unfinished, with the implication that whatever you can think of, God is greater than that, too.
The actual title of this phrase is Takbeer[?], while the phrase itself is "Allahu Akbar." Instead of applause, it's better to have someone yell "Takbeer" and the crowd to respond "Allahu Akbar" in chorus.
"Allahu Akbar" is the title of the national anthem of Libya.

 Allahu Akbar Vs Allahu Al-Kabeer, One more time, Salat in Islam (Submission), Koran, Quran, Allah, God, Muhammed, ...
Editor's note: This is part of the discussion that was started when some of the people decided to change their practice of Salat by using the term "Allahu Al-Kabeer" instead of "Allahu Akbar" and claimed it to be the ONLY correct way of performing Salat.
During a discussion about the use of the term Allahu Akbar, some people came up with the idea that Allahu Al-kabeer may be more appropriate because the word Kabeer can be found in the Quran while the word Akbar is not.
In the contrary, in Arabic, "Allahu Akbar" means GOD is greater than anything someone can imagine or GOD is the Greatest of all things or simply means GOD is The Greatest.

 Allahu Akbar and our Salat
This is the one of two places in the Quran where the two words, Allahu and Akbar are next to each other although "Akbar" is used for the remembrance of God.
The presence of Allahu and Akbar next to each other is not coincidental or unintentionally placed.
10- In conclusion, Allahu Akbar is Quranic in every aspect and is the way Salat was passed to us from Abraham all the way down and including the correction made by the messenger of the covenant to our Salat.

Referred to as the Takbir, the phrase "Allahu Akbar" literally means "Allah is Great" or "Allah is the Greatest" in Arabic.
Allahu Akbar has been taken so far out of context in this article, it simply is disgusting and is typical ignorant american ranting.

Umm al-Mumineen, Aa'ishah (radhi allahu anha), Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu anhu) and Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallahu anhu) reject that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) saw Allah with his physical eyes.
It is possible to reconcile between the affirmation of Ibn Abbas (radiyallahu anhu) and the denial of Aa'ishah (radhi allahu anha) in that the denial can be taken to be the denial of the vision of the (physical) eyes and its affirmation to be the affirmation of the heart…” [Fath al-Baaree (8/608)]
And it is not that he saw him in the Night of Ascent and Aa’ishah (radhi allahu anha) denied the Prophet’s vision of his Lord on the Night of Ascent only, not the seeing of his Lord while he was awake and that she does not deny that he saw Allah in his sleep.

 Ankle Biting Pundits :: View topic - Allahu Akbar! Perspective from 9/11
The very last human sound on the cockpit voice recorder of United flight 93 before it screamed into the ground at 580 miles per hour is the sound of male voices shouting "Allahu Akbar" in a moment of religious ecstasy.
As the American Airlines flight attendants who literally jumped on "shoe bomber" Richard Reid demonstrated, cabin crews are sharply attuned to unusual or abnormal behavior and they must not be second-guessed, or hamstrung by misguided notions of political correctness.
Ultimately, the most despicable aspect about the imams' behavior is that when they pierced the normally quiet hum of a passenger waiting area with shouts of "Allahu Akbar"and deliberately engaged in terrorist-associated behavior that was sure to trigger suspicion, they exploited the fear that began with the Sept. 11 attacks.
