Islamic prayer beads, also known as "tasbih" or "misbaha," are a significant spiritual tool used by Muslims to aid in the remembrance of Allah (God) and to engage in dhikr, which is the practice of repetitive utterances or reflections on the attributes of Allah.

Some people use them as a physical way to keep track of their prayers, while others find the tactile nature of the beads helpful in keeping their focus. Additionally, many people believe that the energies of the different gemstones can add power to their prayers.
