Eidul Fitri in 2020 is unprecedented (due to the COVID19 pandemic) as we do not get to go the mosques where the congregation would recite the Takbeer (proclamation of the greatness of God).


My piano version is a shortened and impromptu version of the melody of the Takbeer.


Here is the full text of the Takbeer (with English translation).



اللّهُ أكبر اللّهُ أكبر


Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
Allah is Great, Allah is Great


اللّهُ أكبر


Allahu Akbar
Allah is Great


لا إلَهَ الا اللّه


La illaha il Allah
there is no God, but Allah


اللّهُ أكبر اللّهُ اكبر


Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
Allah is Great, Allah is Great


و لِلّه الحمدَ


walilahil Hamd
to Him belongs all Praise


اللّهُ أكبرُ كَبيِرَا


Allahu Akbaru Kabeera
Allah is the Greatest


وَالحَمدُ لِلّهِ كَثِيرا


wal-Hamdulilahi katheera
And all Praise is due to Him


وَ سُبحَان اللّهِ


wa Subhan allahi
And Glory to Allah


بُكرَةً وَأصْيِلا


bukratan wa aseila
eventide and in the morning


لا إلَهَ الا اللّه


La illaha il Allah
there is no God, but Allah the Unique


صَدَقَ وَعدَه


sadaqa wa'dah
He has fulfilled His Promise


وَنَصَرَ عبده


wa nasara abda
and made Victorious His servant


وأعزَ جُنَده


wa a'azza jundahu
and made Mighty His soldiers


وَهزم الأحْزَابَ وحْدَه


wa hazamal-ahzaaba wahdah
and defeated the confederates


لا إلَهَ الا اللّه


La illaha il Allah
there is no God, But Allah


وَلا نَعبُد الا أياه


wa laa na'budu illa iyyah
He alone we worship


مُخلِصِّينَ لَهُ الدّيِنَ


mukhlessena lahud-deena
with sincere and exclusive devotion


وَلوْ كَرِهَ الكَافِروُن


walaw karehal-Kafeeroon
even though the idolaters hate it


اللّهمَ صَلِّ على سيْدنَا مُحَمد


Allahumma salli ala sayyedna Muhammad
O Allah, have Mercy on our Prophet Muhammad


وَعَلى آلِ سيْدنَا مُحَمد

wa sallim tasleeman katheera
and Bestow upon them much peace.
