It is often seen in Turkey. Particularly men carry them, \u00a0they finger the string of beads while drinking tea and chatting. Originally prayer beads, Muslims use the Tesbih to recite Allah\u2019s name with every bead that passes through their fingers. Nowadays, Tespihs are also used as accessories, decoration or, in most cases to occupy the hands. The word Tespih originates from the word S\u00fcpah, which means \u2018reciting the glory of God\u2019. It is an aid to keep count of prayers. In the beginning of the Islam, believers used small stones which later developed into a Tespih. The Christian pilgrims probably adopted the Tesp\"\"ih from the Muslims and introduced the rosary in Christianity. A Tespih is composed of 99 beads, representing the 99 names of Allah. The string is used to praise Allah as follows: 33 times the word \u2018S\u00fcpannalah\u2019 is spoken, which means \u2018Praise be to God\u2019. Then \u2018Elh\u00fcmdullilah\u2019 is repeated 33 times, meaning \u2018Glory be to God\u2019. For the final 33 beads \u2018Allahu Akbar\u2019 is repeated which means \u2018God is most great\u2019. After these repetitions a final prayer is said, bringing the total number of prayers to one hundred. In the Koran the Prophet Mohammed said: \u2018Whoever completes a hundred, by telling these beads, all his sins shall be forgiven.\u2019 Some Tespihs have 33 beads.\u00a0 They are used in the same way but are more manageable.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
