Natural Wood Prayer Beads 99 Beads

This collection displays different prayer beads from a range of single misbahs: a misbah made of natural wood, distinguished by its simple beauty and long-standing tradition. The prayer beads vary in wood shade and display format, but they share a classic design.

General Characteristics and Features

Material: All prayer beads are made of wooden beads. The wood appears in distinctive color gradients, ranging from light brown (beige or honey), up to rich dark brown characterized by dark grains and lines that give it a unique organic character. These grains impart an eye-like or striped pattern appearance to each bead, indicating that the wood is not fully dyed but retains its natural look.

Bead Shape: The beads are generally oval or slightly rectangular (olive-shaped), polished and smooth to the touch, making them ideal for gliding between the fingers during dhikr.

Design and Count: The displayed prayer beads are of the traditional type used for dhikr and tasbih, following the 99-bead pattern, with clear dividers (imam and markers).

The Imam (Minaret): Each misbah features an “imam” and “minaret”, which is the main piece connecting the two ends of the strand, larger in size, finely polished, and coming in an elegant cylindrical or spindle shape.

The Tassel (Final Tasbih): The imam ends with a hanging sturdy cord (made of brown silky leather), adorned with small additional wooden beads (markers) at its end, completing the traditional look of the misbah.
