Online Tasbih - Digital Dhikr Counter

What is a Tasbeeh Counter?

A tasbeeh counter (also spelled tasbih or tesbih) is a tool used to keep count during dhikr - the Islamic practice of remembering and glorifying Allah through repeated phrases. The traditional physical tasbeeh is a string of 33 or 99 prayer beads. A digital tasbeeh counter replaces those beads with a click-based counter that works on any device with a browser.

The word tasbeeh comes from the Arabic root meaning to exalt or glorify, directly tied to the phrase "SubhanAllah" (Glory be to Allah). Over time, "tasbeeh" has come to refer both to the beads themselves and to the practice of repeating phrases of remembrance. Whether you use physical beads or an online tasbeeh counter, the purpose is the same: to free your mind from tracking numbers so you can focus fully on the meaning of your dhikr.

This digital tasbeeh counter works on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile. There is no app to install and no account to create. Open the page, click to count, and close it when you are done. Nothing is stored or transmitted.

How to Use the Online Tasbeeh Counter

Choose an adhkar from the chips at the top of the counter. The Arabic text, transliteration, and meaning appear above the ring so you always know what you are reciting. Then tap anywhere inside the large ring to count - on a phone, the whole ring is one big touch target so you never miss a tap. On a computer you can also press Space or Enter to count, which many people find more comfortable for longer sessions.

When you reach the target (33, 34, or 100 depending on the dhikr), the ring flashes, one round is added to your tally, and the counter resets for the next round. The rounds completed and total count are shown below the ring. Use Undo to correct an accidental tap and Reset to start over.

For the standard post-salah dhikr, count SubhanAllah 33 times, then reset and count Alhamdulillah 33 times, then reset and count Allahu Akbar 33 times. This is the widely practiced sequence from the Sunnah and totals 99 repetitions across the three phrases. Keyboard shortcuts are also available for hands-free counting: press the up arrow or plus key to count up, and R to reset to zero.

If you want a general-purpose counter without targets and rounds, try the tally counter or the clicker counter with step sizes and decrement support.

Common Dhikr and Tasbeeh Phrases

These are the most widely practiced dhikr phrases with their commonly cited counts:

The sequence of SubhanAllah 33, Alhamdulillah 33, and Allahu Akbar 33 after each prayer is known as Tasbih Fatimah. The 99 total corresponds to the 99 names of Allah (Asma ul Husna). This practice is narrated from the Prophet (peace be upon him) and is among the most virtuous forms of dhikr after the five daily prayers.

Salatul Tasbeeh - Reference and Count

Salatul Tasbeeh is a special prayer in which the tasbeeh phrase "SubhanAllahi walhamdulillahi wala ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar" is repeated 75 times within each unit (rak'ah) of a 4-rak'ah prayer, totaling 300 repetitions across the full prayer.

The distribution of the 75 repetitions per rak'ah in the most commonly cited method is as follows:

A digital tasbeeh counter is especially useful for Salatul Tasbeeh because the count is large and the specific distribution across positions makes it easy to lose track. Set your counter to the appropriate count for each position, then reset as you move through the prayer.

Scholars have different views on the authenticity and recommended frequency of Salatul Tasbeeh. The prayer is documented in Sunan Abu Dawud and other hadith collections. Consult a qualified scholar for guidance on how often to observe it.

Digital Tasbih vs Physical Tasbeeh Beads

Physical tasbih beads have the advantage of being completely offline, requiring no battery or screen, and providing tactile feedback that many people find helps focus during dhikr. They are also silent and can be used without looking at anything, which is ideal during prayer or in a masjid setting.

A digital tasbeeh counter offers different advantages. It maintains a precise numerical count with no risk of losing your place - dropping physical beads mid-session means guessing where you stopped. A digital counter also supports custom targets and step sizes, making it more flexible for longer voluntary dhikr sessions or structured practices like Salatul Tasbeeh where specific counts per position matter. It is always accessible on your phone without a separate item to carry.

Many Muslims use physical tasbih beads for daily post-prayer dhikr and turn to a digital tasbeeh counter for longer or more structured sessions. Both serve the same purpose and neither is more correct than the other from a fiqh perspective. What matters is consistency and sincerity in the practice of remembrance.

Online Tasbih FAQs

What is the difference between tasbih and tasbeeh?

They are the same word transliterated differently from Arabic. "Tasbeeh" and "tasbih" are alternate English spellings of the same term. Both refer to the practice of saying SubhanAllah or to the prayer beads used for counting. You may also see "tesbih" (the Turkish spelling) or "misbaha" (another Arabic term for the beads themselves).

Does my count save if I close the page?

Yes. Your current count, completed rounds, and selected dhikr are saved in your browser automatically after every tap. When you return to the page, the counter restores exactly where you left off. Clearing your browser data will reset it.

Is using a digital tasbeeh counter permissible in Islam?

Scholars generally hold that the method of counting does not affect the validity of dhikr. Physical beads, a digital counter, fingers, or mental counting are all valid tools for keeping track. Using the fingers is often recommended where possible, as narrated in hadith, but a digital tasbeeh counter is widely accepted as a practical alternative. Consult a trusted scholar if you have a specific question about your circumstances.

How many times should I say SubhanAllah after prayer?

The most commonly cited number from authentic hadith is 33 times. The full sequence is SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 33 times, completed with La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir. This totals 100 and is recommended after each of the five daily prayers.

Can I use this as an online counter for other purposes?

Yes. The counter works for any counting task. For a version with more controls like step size and undo, the clicker counter is worth bookmarking alongside this page.

Can I set a custom target?

Yes. Select the Custom preset and enter any target from 1 to 9999. The ring, rounds, and totals work exactly the same as with the built-in adhkar presets.
