Allahu A'alam is grammatically similar to [[Allahu Akbar]]. In the word A'alam the root is not كبر k-b-r (big), but علم 'a-l-m (knowing). In both phrases, "A" (alif) is added to the beginning of the word and also a short "a" (fatha) after the second root letter. So from 'a-l-m become <b>A</b>'al'''a'''m, just like from k-b-r became '''A'''kb'''a'''r. | Allahu A'alam is grammatically similar to [[Allahu Akbar]].
