as salam alykom
Taking in consideration that there are non Arabic speakers:
"Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that <b>you must magnify Allah </b>[i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar; Allah is the Most Great) on seeing the crescent of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him." (2:158)
"Thus have We made them subject to you that you may <b>magnify Allah </b>for His Guidance to you" (22:37)
The two underlined parts of the Ayahs in Arabic goes as letukaberu Allah. Tukaber is a command to say Allah u Akbar.
