Tasbih (تسبيح) refers to the act of glorifying Allah through the repetition of short prayers and phrases. A Tasbih counter (also called Misbaha or prayer beads) is traditionally used to keep track of these recitations.

Allahu Akbar (الله أكبر): "Allah is the Greatest" - Affirming Allah's supremacy

The 33-33-34 Pattern
