1. The permissibility of pronouncing \”الله أكبر \” as \”Allahu Əkbar\” or \”Allahu Əkbər\” instead of \”Əllahu əkbər\” in the pronunciation context
2. The implications of these variant pronunciations ont he validity (ṣaḥīḥ) of ṣalāh

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
We hope this answer finds you in high Islamic spirit.

  1. Pronounce it as “Allahu Akbar” as it is the correct pronunciation. 
  2. Salat will be considered valid if the above pronunciation has been performed. And, if a person can’t pronounce it correctly, as above, and tries his level best to pronounce it as close to the above pronunciation, his prayer will be valid.
