Tasbih (تسبيح) in English means glorification: declaring that Allah is free of every fault and shortcoming. The word is used in two ways. It is the act of saying SubhanAllah, and it is the string of beads used to keep count of it. Tasbeeh, tasbi and tesbih are all the same word spelled differently in English letters.
Tasbih is a verbal noun from the root s-b-h, which carries the sense of swimming away from something, and in religious use it means declaring Allah far removed from any imperfection. The nearest English word is glorification, though it is more precise than that: it is not simply praise, it is denial of any fault.
Praise is a separate word, hamd, which is why SubhanAllah and Alhamdulillah appear side by side rather than saying the same thing twice.
SubhanAllah, glory be to Allah, thirty three times. Alhamdulillah, all praise belongs to Allah, thirty three times. Allahu Akbar, Allah is greater, thirty four times. That completes one hundred, and it is reported in Sahih Muslim 596 and 597 as the portion taught for after each obligatory prayer.
Because Arabic is being written in Latin letters and there is no single agreed system. The long ee sound in تسبيح is written ih by some and eeh by others. Tasbi is a shortened form common in South Asia. They are the same word and the same practice.
Dhikr is remembrance of Allah in any form, including Quran, dua and salawat. Tasbih is one specific type of dhikr, the glorification. A wird is a daily portion a person commits to, which may be made up of several of these.
Tasbih means glorification of Allah, declaring Him free of any fault. It is also the name for the beads used to count that remembrance.
Glory be to Allah. It affirms that Allah is far removed from any imperfection or shortcoming.
