Most people think Allahu Akbar means “Allah is the greatest.” But it actually means something more beautiful. It actually means Allah is greater.
When you repeat it in Salah, it means Allah is greater than whatever else you could be doing or thinking about at this time. When you say it in difficulty, it means Allah is greater than the hardships that surround me. When you say it in sadness, it means Allah is greater than the situation that is hurting my heart. When you say it in your happy moments, it means the Allah who granted me this joy is greater than whatever is making me happy. So whichever situation you say it in, it reminds you that Allah is and will always be greater than anything and everything that exists.
