Allahu Akbar! Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Confidence is one's ego's reflection.
Feeling of greatness is its creation
In excess it grows into arrogance.
Humility is the rein of ego.

Head weight blinds you in dealing with others
And forget that you are nothing before God.
To feel not bigger is humility.
Humility before God is Islam's faith.

"Allahu Akbar! ', said all in chorus
In repetition in the congregations,
Which is nothing but to remind people
That they are not big at all before God.

‘Allahu Akbar' implies God is great.
It means none other than God is great.
Allahu Akbar breeds humility,
Essential for human harmony.
