As Ramadan comes to an end, Muslims around the world begin reciting the Eid Takbeer, a special remembrance of Allah that marks the arrival of Eid al-Fitr.
The Takbeer is a powerful expression of gratitude and praise to Allah after completing a month of fasting and worship. From the evening before Eid until the Eid prayer, Muslims repeat these words to glorify Allah and celebrate the blessings of Ramadan.
Across the United Kingdom, from London and Birmingham to Manchester, Bradford and Leicester, mosques and homes echo with these words on the night before Eid.
You can learn more about the celebration in our guide to Eid al-Fitr 2026.
الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله
الله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar wa lillahil hamd
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.
There is no god but Allah.
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and all praise belongs to Allah.
For Eid al-Fitr, the Takbeer begins after sunset on the last day of Ramadan and continues until the Eid prayer the following morning.
Muslims often recite the Takbeer:
It is a beautiful way to express gratitude to Allah for allowing us to complete Ramadan.
The Takbeer reminds believers that Eid is not simply a celebration but a moment of gratitude and humility before Allah.
After a month of fasting, prayer and charity, Muslims thank Allah for the opportunity to complete Ramadan and ask Him to accept their worship.
