Allahu Akbar (Arabic: "God is Great"), is the title of the national anthem of Libya. It was originally an Egyptian marching song which became popular in Egypt and Syria during the Suez Canal War of 1956. It was adopted on September 1 1969, by Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi as the official anthem of Libya, showing his hopes of uniting the Arab world.

[edit] Arabic lyrics
الله أكبر الله اكبر
الله أكبر فوق كيد المعتدي
الله للمظلوم خير مؤيد
أنا باليقين وبالسلاح سأفتدي
بلدي ونور الحق يسطع في يدي
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر
الله أكبر فوق كيد المعتدي
يا هذه الدنيا أطلي واسمعي
جيش الأعادي جاء يبغي مصرعي
بالحق سوف أرده وبمدفعي
وإذا فنيت فسوف أفنيه معي
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله أكبر الله أكبر الله اكبر
الله فوق كيد المعتدي.
[edit] English translation
- God is Great God is Great
- God is above any attacker's tricks,
- And God is the best helper for the oppressed,
- God is above any attacker's tricks,
- And God is the best helper for the oppressed,
- With certainty and with weapons I shall defend
- My nation, truth's light shining in my hand;
- Say it with me, say it with me:
- God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest!
- God is great over the attacker's tricks!
- Oh this world, watch and listen:
- The enemy came coveting my position,
- Oh this world, watch and listen:
- The enemy came coveting my position,
- I shall fight with weapons and defences
- And if I die, I'll take him with me!
- Say it with me, say it with me:
- God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest!
- God is above any attacker's tricks!
