Are you familiar with 33-bead Muslim prayer beads aka misbaha, tasbih or sibha? To summarize, 33-bead Muslim prayer beads are a shorter version of the traditional 99-bead Musim prayer beads. They serve the same purpose of aiding Muslims in their prayers and remembrance of Allah but are designed for more convenient and compact use.

The 33-bead prayer beads are especially popular among Muslims who are often on the go or have limited space to carry larger prayer beads. The structure and usage of the 33-bead prayer beads are also similar to the 99-bead versions, with the beads used for counting the recitations of specific phrases or prayers.

Typically, a 33-bead Muslim prayer beads set consists of 33 beads without dividers beads at each 11-bead section. This can vary depending on the specific design and tradition. Some don't use dividers at all.

Similar to the 99-bead Misbaha, the 33-bead version is conveniently used to recite different phrases such as:

1. Subhan Allah (Glory be to God) - recited 33 times
2. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God) - recited 33 times
3. Allahu Akbar (God is [the] Greatest) - recited 33
times

These are the 3 phrases said after each obligatory prayer. In some cases, Muslim prayer beads may have additional beads or tassels for decoration, but the primary focus is on the 33 beads for counting and keeping track of prayers.

Just like the traditional prayer beads, using the 33-bead Muslim prayer beads is a voluntary and not obligatory in Islam. Muslims may also use their fingers to count prayers or recitations if they prefer, as the use of prayer beads is a personal choice to enhance one's focus and concentration.
