Muslim oval prayer beads or tasbih is made from the core of Indonesia tamarind fruit trees. They wood is known as galih asem in Indonesia language. TheTasbih offers these unique natural beads hand-buffed to a shine without using any chemical finishes, oils or lacquers. This tasbih is not only designed with a 10-bead counter for extensive repetitions and dividers but also a movable place marker. The dark brown shiny beads on this tasbih are smooth and comfortable to use.
The imam/alif bead is nicely sculpted on a hand-operated lathe to the traditional tapered shape. All our tasbihs are strung with durable woven 100% nylon string. We are confident in the longevity and durability of our wood tasbihs. For this reason, we offer a lifetime warranty on them. If they break under normal usage, we'll replace them at any time. The circumference of these prayer beads is about 22-inches (56cm) so it will NOT fit overhead but can be wrapped around the wrist and left at your place of worship. You can also hang them on your rear-view mirror in your car to have handy during your travels. The size of the beads are 9-mms in diameter and 4-mms thick.
This 99-bead tasbih, like most of our exclusive wooden tasbih designs, features our adjustable tension feature. You can adjust the tasbih using the lock knot to set your preferred distance between the beads. There are ornamental dividers (aka muezzins) at each 33-bead section. Comes in a silver-foil 2x8 inch cotton-filled box for U.S. and Canada customers with single purchases.
