Why do Muslims use a rosary (Tasbih)?
In the Muslim world, the prayer beads—called Tasbih , Misbahah , or Subha depending on the country—hold an important place in religious and cultural life. Much more than a simple piece of jewelry, they are a daily companion, a tool for concentration, and a symbol of attachment to dhikr (remembrance of the divine).
A reminder item
The prayer beads help many believers to stay focused during dhikr , that is, the remembrance of Allah through familiar formulas. By maintaining a regular rhythm on the beads, the mind calms, becomes centered, and turns away from the distractions of daily life.
A support for structuring dhikr
The beads make it easy to count repeated invocations. This avoids mental confusion and makes the recitation smoother and more harmonious. Two rosary formats are most common:
- 33 beads — Practical and compact, it generally allows one to recite subḥān Allāh , al-ḥamdu liLlāh and Allāhu akbar at the end of prayer.
- 100 beads — Suitable for longer litanies or regular use, without having to repeat several rounds.
A cultural and identity dimension
Each region has developed its own style: round, oval or cut beads, sober or vibrant colors, noble or local materials… The Tasbih becomes an object that tells a story, a heritage passed down through generations.
A personal and precious object
Because it accompanies the spiritual life of its owner, the rosary often becomes an emotionally powerful object: given on an important occasion, or chosen for its specific material.
