“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 to Allah belongs all praise.”

لَن يَنَالَ اللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاؤُهَا وَلَٰكِن يَنَالُهُ التَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ

Lan yanāla-llāha luḥūmuhā wa lā dimāʾuhā wa lākin yanāluhu-t-taqwā minkum

“Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is the piety (taqwā) from you.”
