Tasbih is from Babylonia, so it is needed further study.

cleanup

I tried to clean this up a little... I removed the contradict tag, since it wasn't really all that conradictory and there was no explaination on the talk page. I also removed the line about there being up to 1000 beads... As far as I know the tasbih only has 99 or 33... Anything else belongs to a different religion and should be noted on the broader prayer beads page. – cacahuate ^talk 22:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Reasons:

This is an article about an object used by Muslims thourghout the Muslim world. Therefore, it is thought that the use of the original Arabic term Misbaha is more accurate. This is different from the case of regional Islam related practices and objects, which are better denoted by their local names. The term Tasbih it seems is used mostly in Farsi, Urdu...etc.
The title of the article conflicts with a central Islamic practice called Tasbih, which is the act of of repetitive glorification of Allah through the use of short utterances.Hakeem.gadi 11:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use by Christians

I think the statement that the misbaha is used by Christians is inappropriate in this article. (I actually do use a misbaha given to me by a Muslim friend for praying Christian prayers, but I don't think isolated cases justify mention in the article.) My casual research revealed that the Anglican Rosary has the same number of beads, though grouped differently. I could not find any mention of regular Christian use of a misbaha.

I am removing the statement from the article. Please cite a reputable source if you want to put it back in. --GrizzlySound (talk) 00:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The article specifically uses a completely different name. Komboskini. It especially does not belong in the opening paragraph. its an "esoteric trivia" to mention that in the 1500's during multiple councils of trent, and then until 1801 of the Holy Roman Empire they copied and emulated the bead use, to assist in learn the new kkk bible of Erasmus and Great Bible 1539. Having formed the Scottish Rite, SnowHair master race plan to release the "Book of Mormon" and switch from the Black Double Eagle to the Anglo Double Eagle in 1835 Later Day Saints, death to bible race prayers of their texts. Interesting Fact. The Spanish Inquisition ended in 1835 AD, the LDS Book of Mormon the Same Year, and the the KKK in 1865 wearing the Spanish Hoods of the race that may have had the Book of Mormon all those years in Spain.

The term komboskini is also used by Arab Christians to refer to the Christian rosary or prayer rope.^[1]

Generally, these prayer strings (called komboskini in Greek, chotki or vervitsa in Russian and misbaha in Arabic) typically have between 100 and 150 knots, although some with 33 knots can also be found (symbolizing the age of Christ at His death), as well as others with 41 knots (the number of lashes inflicted on Jesus) or 64 knots (according to tradition, the age of the Virgin Mary upon her Assumption into heaven).
