What is a tasbih counter?
A tasbih (also spelled tasbeeh) is traditionally a string of prayer beads used to keep count while reciting dhikr — short phrases of remembrance such as SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest). Counting helps you complete a set number of repetitions without losing track, so your attention can stay on the words themselves rather than the tally.
This page is a free digital version of that same idea. Instead of physical beads, you tap the dial in the center of the screen once for each repetition. The ring around the dial fills in as you approach your target, the number rolls upward with each tap, and a short celebration marks every completed cycle.
To use it: pick a dhikr phrase from the row of chips above the dial (or leave it blank and just count), set your target using the Target button in the bottom bar — 33, 99, 100, or any custom number — and start tapping. Use Undo if you miscount, or Reset to start a fresh cycle at any time.
Frequently asked questions
Tasbih refers both to the act of glorifying God through repeated phrases of remembrance (dhikr) and, informally, to the string of prayer beads traditionally used to count those repetitions. This site is a digital stand-in for the physical beads.
These are the most common traditional cycle lengths — for example, reciting SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar 33 times each (99 total), or rounding up to 100. They're offered as convenient defaults, not requirements — you can set any custom target that suits you.
Your current tally and cycle count live only in your browser's active memory, so they reset if you refresh or close the page. Your theme (light/dark) preference and whether you've seen the welcome guide are remembered on your device between visits — see our Privacy Policy for details.

Dhikr etiquette & significance
Across Islamic tradition, dhikr — the remembrance of God — is understood as something that can be practiced almost anywhere: sitting, standing, walking, or waiting. Many people find that counting a set number of repetitions, whether on physical beads or a screen, helps turn a few spare minutes into a moment of quiet reflection rather than idle scrolling.
There's no single "correct" way to do this. Some prefer stillness and a lowered voice; others recite silently in the mind while going about their day. What tends to matter most, across different approaches, is presence — trying to keep attention on the meaning of the words rather than treating the count as the goal in itself.
This tool is offered simply as a convenience for that practice, not as a religious authority on how dhikr should be performed. If you're new to it, a mosque, teacher, or trusted religious resource in your own tradition will be able to guide you far better than any app can.
