Quick Answer
A Tasbih counter tracks repetitions of Islamic dhikr (remembrance of Allah). The classic post-prayer sequence: SubhanAllah × 33, Alhamdulillah × 33, Allahu Akbar × 34, totalling 100 repetitions (Tasbihat-e-Fatimah).
What Is Tasbih Counter?
Tasbih (تسبيح) means 'to glorify Allah.' A Tasbih counter, traditionally a string of 33 or 99 beads (misbaha), tracks dhikr repetitions without losing count. The most common post-prayer Tasbih is Tasbihat-e-Fatimah: SubhanAllah × 33, Alhamdulillah × 33, Allahu Akbar × 34. The Prophet ﷺ said this is worth more than everything in this world (Sahih Muslim).
Beyond the post-prayer sequence, dhikr includes Astaghfirullah, La ilaha illallah, Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi, and others. This digital counter handles any custom target throughout the day.

Tips & Things to Know
- The counter saves your progress locally, returning to the tab resumes where you left off.
- The post-prayer Tasbih takes only 2–3 minutes but is among the most rewarding regular acts.
- Consistency matters: a small daily dhikr is more beloved than an occasional large session.
- Other high-reward adhkars: 'SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi' × 100 daily expiates sins (Sahih Muslim); 'La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah...' × 10 earns reward equal to freeing four slaves (Sahih Bukhari).
- Traditional misbaha beads come in sets of 33, 99, or 100. A 33-bead misbaha is passed through three times for the Tasbihat-e-Fatimah sequence. A digital counter is equally valid, what matters is sincerity (ikhlas).
- Dhikr can be done silently during any activity, walking, commuting, household chores. The scholars note that constant low-level dhikr throughout the day is among the easiest yet most rewarding habits to build.
