Allah Hoo (Allah hu) is a traditional Sufi chant (dhikr) consisting of the word for God (, ') run together three times, followed by Truth (haqq): ''Allāhu Allāhu Allāhu Haqq'', itself repeated three times over.

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.

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 f ...
