Allah Hoo (Allah hu) is a traditional Sufi chant (Dhikr) consisting of the word for God (Arabic: ') run together three times, followed by Truth (Haqq): :''Allāhu Allāhu Allāhu Haqq'', itself repeated three times over. According to Sufi tradition, this formula was introduced by Abu Bakr as he initiated the Naqshbandi tradition (Kabbani 2003 p. 87). Other Dhikrs consist of simple ''Allāhu Allāhu'' run together 400 or 600 times. "Allah Hoo" is also a popular title for Urdu language Sufi devotional qawwalis. ==Etymology== The "Hoo" is due to the nominative desinence (i`rab) ''-u'' (ḍamma) being pronounced before initial vowel, as the word ''Allahu'' is run together several times: ''Allahu Allahu Allahu'' is rendered as /al:a:hual:a:hual:a:h/ (compare the phrase ''Allahu Akbar'' where the ''-u'' is also audible). In traditional Sufi chant, the length of the ''-u'' is exaggerated. As a noun phrase, the chant is interpreted as meaning "God is". Haqq is the Arabic for "truth", so that the full dhikr translates to "God is. God is. God is Truth." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allah Hoo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
