Tasbih serve as aids in prayer. The 99 names of Allah are recited with their help. They most commonly comprise 99 moveable beads, but shorter ones with 33 beads are also customary. Nowadays there are even electronic tasbih, with a compass simultaneously accommodated for determining the location of Mecca.
