What is a tasbih counter, and how do you use this one?

A tasbih counter is a tool for keeping count of dhikr, the short phrases of remembrance a Muslim repeats after prayer or through the day. Sibha is a free online tasbih counter that runs in the browser: tap anywhere on the screen to add one, and the count is saved on your own device. There is no account, no advert and no tracking, and it keeps working when you lose signal.

How do you use a digital tasbih counter?

Tap anywhere on the counting area to add one to the count, and say the phrase of dhikr silently or aloud as you tap. Set a target (33, 100 or any number) if you want the counter to tell you when you have finished, and use undo if you tap by mistake. The count stays where you left it if you close the tab and come back.

On a phone, a short vibration can mark each milestone so you do not need to look at the screen. Android phones support this in the browser; iPhones and iPads ignore it.

Is it permissible to use a digital tasbih counter instead of beads?

The majority position among contemporary scholars is that counting dhikr with a digital counter is permissible, because the counting tool is not itself an act of worship: it is a means of keeping track, in the same way beads or the fingers are. Counting on the right hand and its finger joints is the practice reported from the Prophet ﷺ and is considered the most virtuous method, so many people use a counter only when the number is large or when the hands are busy.

What is Tasbih Fatimah, and what are the 33, 33, 34 counts?

Tasbih Fatimah is the dhikr taught by the Prophet ﷺ to his daughter Fatimah and commonly recited after each obligatory prayer: SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times and Allahu Akbar 34 times, making 100 in total. It is recorded in Sahih Muslim. Sibha has a dedicated mode that counts each phrase in turn and moves to the next one automatically when its count is reached.

Which dhikr can you count on Sibha?

Any phrase you like, plus a built-in library of sourced adhkar with the Arabic, transliteration, translation, suggested count and the primary source for each one. The most commonly counted are SubhanAllah (glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (all praise is for Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is greatest), La ilaha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah), Astaghfirullah (I seek Allah's forgiveness) and salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ.

Is your count private?

Yes. Counts, targets and settings are stored on the device you are using and are never sent anywhere. Nobody, including us, can see how much dhikr you have made. Because of that, clearing your browser data clears your counts, so use the backup option in settings if you want to keep them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sibha free?

Yes. Sibha is free to use with no adverts, no account and no paid tier. Every feature is available to everyone.

Does the tasbih counter work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded once, the counter keeps working with no internet connection, and your count is saved on your device.

How many times should I say SubhanAllah?

The best known practice is 33 times after each obligatory prayer, alongside 33 Alhamdulillah and 34 Allahu Akbar, totalling 100. Beyond that there is no upper limit on dhikr.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up. Open the page and start counting; your progress is kept on your own device.

Why does my phone not vibrate when I reach a milestone?

Android browsers support vibration, but iPhones and iPads block the vibration feature in the browser, so the counter shows the milestone visually instead.

What is the difference between tasbih, tasbeeh and sibha?

They describe the same practice and tool. Tasbih and tasbeeh are two spellings of the same Arabic word for glorifying Allah, and sibha is the Arabic name for the string of beads used to count it.
