Allahu Akbar (God is Great) (Arabic: الله أكبر), 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.

Arabic
English translation

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

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!

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.

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!
