Glory be to Allah

The Arabic word tasbih means glorification of Allah, from the same root as the dhikr SubhanAllah. The physical object many of us grew up with, a string of beads slipped through the fingers, is also called a tasbih or misbaha. The Prophet ﷺ himself counted on his fingers, and the early Muslims used date pits and small stones. Beads came later. A digital counter is the same idea, made smaller and more portable.
The point is not the tool. The point is the dhikr. Counting keeps the tongue moving when the mind drifts, lets you measure a daily routine, and quietens that voice that wants something to do with its hands. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Two phrases light on the tongue, heavy on the scale, beloved to the Most Merciful: SubhanAllahi wa bihamdih, SubhanAllahil adheem” (Bukhari 6406).
Once the obligatory prayer ends, before standing up, the sunnah is to remain seated and recite:
To complete one hundred, either stop at 33 / 33 / 34, or do 33 / 33 / 33 followed by the closing dhikr: La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer (There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs all dominion and praise, and He is over all things capable). Both routines are authentic. The Prophet ﷺ said whoever recites this after every prayer, their sins are forgiven even if they were like the foam of the sea (Muslim 597).
Each one is from the authentic sunnah with the collection and number listed so you can verify. Tap any of these into the counter above using the “Add custom” option.
A few people worry that using a phone for tasbih is somehow less rewarding than the bead string. The honest answer is the opposite. The sunnah is to count on the fingers because Aisha and Ibn Abbas both narrated that the Prophet ﷺ did so. Beads came centuries later as a convenience. A digital counter is the same convenience, refined further. It does not change the reward, it changes how easily you remember to do the dhikr.
What this counter gives you that beads cannot: the ability to track multiple dhikrs separately, to set targets, to see your last thirty days when you sign in, and to keep counting through your day on whatever device is in your hand. If a paper notebook and a bead string work better for you, use them. Tools serve the worship, not the other way around.
Tasbih (تَسْبِيح) is the act of glorifying Allah, most commonly by repeating short phrases of remembrance. The word comes from the Arabic root s-b-h, which carries the meaning of swimming or moving smoothly, the same root used in the dhikr SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah). A physical tasbih is the bead string used to keep count, traditionally with 33 or 99 beads.
Yes. Scholars across the four madhabs hold that the goal is the dhikr itself, and any counting tool (fingers, beads, paper, an app) is permitted. The Prophet ﷺ counted on his fingers (Abu Dawud 1502), which is the most authentic sunnah, but he did not forbid bead strings or other counters. A digital counter is simply a modern equivalent of a bead.
After each obligatory prayer, the Prophet ﷺ taught the recitation of SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 33 times, followed by La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah... once to complete one hundred. Another narration sets it to 33 / 33 / 34 to reach exactly one hundred without the closing dhikr. Both are authentic in the books of Bukhari and Muslim.
Both are valid. The dhikr is in the heart and the tongue, and scholars consider audible recitation more rewarding when alone because it engages the tongue and the hearing. In public spaces, especially after congregational prayer, quiet recitation that does not disturb others praying is preferred.
If you are signed in, your counts sync to your account and follow you across devices. If you are using the counter without signing in, the count saves to your device only, and clearing your browser will reset it. Signing in is free and the only data we store is the dhikr you tracked and the count.
All three are transliterations of the same Arabic word, تَسْبِيح. The long i sound (ي) gets written as ee in some transliteration systems (tasbeeh) and as i with a macron in others (tasbīh). On Barakah we use the academic standard, tasbih.
Sign in and your counts sync across every device. Add any dhikr you want with your own targets. Look back on your last thirty days whenever you like. Quiet, private, ad-free.
