My Parents brought a special sibha from Makkah, but we used to live in Qatar before we came to America and we forgot it there which was really sad. It is an Amber color with brown thread strings. My Parents told me about the sibha. The sibha can also be called the Allah bracelet. The Sibha is a string prayer which is traditionally used by Muslim people to keep track of counting. The sibha is made out of beads and is for Islamic religion. There are sebhat with 33 and 99 beads. 99 beads also refers to 99 names of Allah. Muslims use it for doing Tasbeeh which is names of God in islam, we say after our prayer. We use the sibha to count 33 beads tasbeeh in Islam. They are made of wooden or plastic. It can also be made of olive seed, ivory, pearls and precious stones. We can do tasbeeh with our hands too but it is much better and easier with the sibha. Me and my family normally do Tasbeeh with our hands. When me, my Parents and Siblings go to Makkah for Hajj, which is in Suadi Arabia, We do Tasbeeh with the sibha. I love the sibha so much and it’s very important for me because it’s something for islamic people and I love everything about islam. Most of the old Muslims use the sibha because it’s way easier for them. I also love the sibha because it's important in my life and it helped me and a lot of other Muslims. The sibha is very useful and it made me and my family and other Muslim people calm and it also reduces stress.
