Q.01
What is a tasbih counter?
A tasbih counter (also tasbeeh, dhikr or zikr counter) is a tool for keeping the count of repeated phrases of remembrance — SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, salawat, Asma ul-Husna. The digital version replaces the physical 33- or 99-bead misbaha with a single tap target, a progress ring, and a saved running total.
Q.02
Why count to 33, 99 or 100?
It is from the Sunnah to recite SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar 33 times each after the obligatory prayer — 99 in total — and many add La ilaha illahllah wahdahu la sharika lah to complete 100. Ninety-nine also corresponds to the Asma ul-Husna, the names of Allah. The counter ships with 33, 99 and 100 as preset targets so the ring closes exactly when the cycle is complete.
Q.03
Is the digital tasbih free to use?
Yes. Tap to count, set a target, run as many cycles as you like — no signup, no download. Optional cloud sync and live share links are part of the Pro plan, but everything you need for daily dhikr is free.
Q.04
Does it work offline at the masjid or while travelling?
Yes. Once the page has loaded once, the counter runs entirely in your browser and saves every tap locally — no signal needed in the prayer hall, on the train, or on hajj. Add the page to your home screen and it launches like an app.
Q.05
Why use a digital tasbih instead of physical beads?
Physical misbaha beads do not need batteries — but they do not log the total, do not vibrate at the end of a cycle, and only count one number at a time. The digital tasbih keeps a running daily total, gives a haptic pulse when you finish a cycle of 33 or 99, supports a custom phrase per counter, and lets you keep separate tallies for each dhikr in a multi-counter grid.
Q.06
Is tasbih the same as dhikr or zikr?
Tasbih (تسبيح) literally means glorifying Allah by saying SubhanAllah. Dhikr (ذكر, also zikr) is the broader practice of remembrance — any repeated phrase of praise, supplication or salawat. The counter on this page works for tasbih, tahmid, takbir, tahleel, salawat, the 99 names — anything you would otherwise count on beads or fingers.
Q.07
Can I count multiple dhikr in one session?
Yes. Open the multi-counter and add a card for each phrase — SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, salawat — each with its own target. Tap the card you are reciting, the others stay at zero. When the post-prayer set is done, every total is logged separately.
Q.08
Will the page distract me during dhikr?
It is built so it does not have to. Set the target, switch to dark mode, lock the screen orientation, and the only feedback is a quiet vibration and the ring filling. No ads in the counter view, no popups during a cycle, no sound by default.
