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 11969, by Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi as the official anthem of Libya, showing his hopes of uniting the Arab world.
Lyrics

English translation
الله أكبر الله اكبر
والله أكبر فوق كيد المعتدي
الله للمظلوم خير مؤيد
أنا باليقين وبالسلاح سأفتدي
بلدي ونور الحق يسطع في يدي
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله الله الله أكبر
الله فوق المعتدي
Allah is Great Allah is Great
Allah is above any attacker's tricks,
And Allah 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:
Allah , Allah , Allah greatest
Allah is over the attacker!
يا هذه الدنيا أطلي واسمعي
جيش الأعادي جاء يبغي مصرعي
بالحق سوف أرده وبمدفعي
فإذا فنيت فسوف أفنيه معي
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله الله الله اكبر
الله فوق المعتدي
Oh this world, watch and listen:
The enemy came coveting my position,
I shall fight with Truth and defences
And if I die, I'll take him with me!
Say it with me, say it with me:
Allah , Allah , Allah is greatest!
Allah is above any attacker!
قولوا معي الويل للمستعمر
وﷲ فوق الغادر المتجبر
الله أكبر يا بلادي كبري
وخذي بناصية المغير ودمري
قولوا معي قولوا معي
الله الله الله أكبر
الله فوق المعتدي
Say With Me Woe To The Enemy :
And Allah is Over The Invader Egotist,
Allah Greatest My Country Say with Me :
And Behold of Enemys Forelock and Destroy it
Say it with me, say it with me:
Allah , Allah , Allah is the Greatest
Allah is above any attacker!
