Question

The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Is it permissible to start the Naamaz with Allah-u-Kareem instead of the takbir Allah-u-Akbar?

Answer

To recite the Takbeer-e-Tahrima with Allaahu Akbar was the sunnah of our beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). Therefore, to commence Salaat with Allaahu Kareem will be contrary to the Sunnah. However, the Salaat commenced with Allaahu Kareem will be valid.

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.

Was salaam
