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. |
English translation[edit]Allah is Great Allah is Great Allah is above any attacker's tricks, And Allah is the best helper for the oppressed, God is above any attacker's tricks, And Allah is the best helper for the oppressed, With faith and with weapons I shall defend my country, Say it with me, say it with me: Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest! God is above any attacker! 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: Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest! God is above any attacker!
