Fancy Tasbeeh 99 Beads

How many beads does it have?

It has 99 beads, divided so that you can recite SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar 33 times each. That structure is what makes the 99 bead form the most used.

What are the beads made from?

They are premium glass beads, which is what gives them their weight and the smooth feel in the hand. Glass sits between plastic and stone in both weight and price.

What colours does it come in?

It is stocked in white, green, raspberry and bronze. The colour options selectable on this page are what is currently available.

Is it heavy to hold?

Glass beads have noticeable weight compared with plastic, which many people prefer because the beads move more deliberately. It is still light enough to carry in a pocket or bag.

Can it be worn?

It is strung as a long loop, so it can be carried in the hand or worn, which is how many people keep it with them. Wearing it keeps it available without occupying a hand.

Is it suitable for a beginner?

Yes, a 99 bead string is the simplest place to start, since there is nothing to charge or break. Many people move to a counter or ring later for use in public.

How do I care for glass beads?

Keep them in a pouch or box rather than loose in a bag, since glass chips against keys and coins. Wipe with a dry cloth rather than washing the string.

Is it a good gift?

It is one of the most given Islamic gifts, because it suits anyone and needs no sizing. The colour range means you can match it to the person.

What is the difference between this and a counter?

Can I see the colours in store?

Yes. Cii Stores is a physical shop in Ormonde, Johannesburg, and colour and bead weight are worth judging in person. You can also order online for delivery across South Africa.

What else do you stock for dhikr?
