A misbaha (Arabic: مسبحة), subha (Arabic:سبحة), or tespih (Turkish) is a string of prayer beads, which is a tool used to perform dhikr (Islamic practice that focuses on the remembrance of God), including the 99 Names of Allah, and the glorification of God after regular prayer. Misbaha, sometimes also called “worry beads,” have played an important role, not just in Islam but other religions. Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindu Brahmanists also use prayer beads. Although Islamic prayer beads usually have either ninety nine or thirty three beads, mystic sects sometimes used 500 or 1000 bead misbaha with very large beads. The Turkish name tespih means prayer beads or rosary and originates from the word “Süpha” (also pronounced sebha), which means to recite the glories of God. Strings of tespih with ninety nine beads signify the ninety nine names of God in Islam. The main entreaty repeated by believers while fingering each of the first thirty three of the ninety nine beads is, Subhan’allah which comes from the Koran and means “Praise be to God.” For the next thirty three beads, one says “Glory be to God,” or Alhamdulillah, in Arabic and for the final thirty three beads, Allahu Akbar which means God is most great, is repeated. With a shorter, thirty-three bead string of tespih, believers simply turn the strand over and over and repeat the same three prayers as for the ninety-nine bead tespih. After these repetitions a final prayer is said, bringing the total number of prayers, as dictated by the Koran, to one-hundred. Why one-hundred? Because the Prophet Muhammad is said to have given the command: “Whoever completes a hundred, by telling these beads, all his sins shall be forgiven even if they are as great as the waves of the ocean.”

Allah (Arabic: الله, Allāh) is the standard Arabic word for God. While the term is best known in the West for its use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, in reference to “God”. The concepts associated with the term Allah (as a deity) differ among the traditions. In pre-Islamic Arabia amongst pagan Arabs, Allah was not the sole divinity, having associates and companions, sons and daughters, a concept strongly opposed by Islam. In Islam, the name Allah is the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name. All other divine names are believed to refer back to Allah. Allah is unique, the only Deity, creator of the universe and omnipotent. Arab Christians today use terms such as Allāh al-ʼAb ( الله الأب, “God the Father”) to distinguish their usage from Muslim usage. There are both similarities and differences between the concept of God as portrayed in the Qur’an and the Hebrew Bible. Unicode has a codepoint reserved for Allāh, ﷲ = U+FDF2.

A misbaha (Arabic: مسبحة), subha (Arabic:سبحة), or tespih (Turkish) is a string of prayer beads, probably of Persian origin, which is a tool used to perform dhikr (Islamic practice that focuses on the remembrance of God), including the 99 Names of Allah, and the glorification of God after regular prayer. A popular recitation might include Subhan’allah (glory be to God), Alhamdulillah (praise to God) and Allahu Akbar (God is great), each repeated 33 times. It is thought that in the early Muslim era loose pebbles were used or that people counted on their fingers. Followers of Wahhabism view the misbaha as an intolerable innovation, believing that the Prophet Muhammad only used the fingers of his right hand…

Bismillah (Arabic بسملة) is an Arabic language noun which is used as the collective name of the whole of the recurring Islamic phrase bismi-llāhi ar-raḥmāni ar-raḥīmi. This phrase constitutes the first verse of every “Sura” (or chapter) of the Qur’an (but one), and is used in a number of contexts by Muslims. It is recited several times as part of Muslim daily prayers. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم / bismi-llāhi ar-raḥmāni ar-raḥīmi / “In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful“ The Bismillah has a special significance for Muslims, who are to begin each task after reciting the verse. Often, Bismillah is preceded by Ta’awwudh. In Arabic calligraphy, it is the most prevalent motif, more so even than the Shahadah. The three definite nouns of the Bismillah, Allah, ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim correspond to the first three of the traditional 99 names of God in Islam. Both ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim are from the same triliteral root, R-Ḥ-M “to feel sympathy or pity”. According to Lane, ar-raḥmān is more intensive, including in its objects the believer and the unbeliever, and may be rendered as “The Compassionate”, while ar-raḥīm has for its peculiar object the believer, considered as expressive of a constant attribute, and may be rendered as “The Merciful”. Arabic-speaking Christians sometimes use the word Bismillah (Arabic: بسملة) to refer to the Christian liturgical formula “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” (باسم الآب والابن والروح القدس, bismi-l-’abi wa-l-ibni wa-r-rūḥi l-qudusi), from Matthew 28:19

Basmala (Arabic بسملة) is an Arabic language noun which is used as the collective name of the whole of the recurring Islamic phrase bismi-llāhi ar-raḥmāni ar-raḥīmi. This phrase constitutes the first verse of every “Sura” (or chapter) of the Qur’an (but one), and is used in a number of contexts by Muslims. It is recited several times as part of Muslim daily prayers, and it is usually the first phrase in the preamble of the constitutions of Islamic countries. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم / bismi-llāhi ar-raḥmāni ar-raḥīmi / “In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful” The Basmala is encoded as a ligature at Unicode codepoint U+FDFD Alternative Christian meaning: Arabic-speaking Christians sometimes use the word Basmala (Arabic: بسملة) to refer to the Christian liturgical formula “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” (باسم الآب والابن والروح القدس, bismi-l-’abi wa-l-ibni wa-r-rūḥi l-qudusi), from Matthew 28:19.

Arabic Salām ( سلام ), Hebrew Shalom ( שלום), Ge’ez śalām (ሠላም), Syriac šlama ( ܫܠܡܐ) are cognate Semitic terms for “PEACE”, deriving from a Proto-Semitic šalām. The word salām is used in a variety of expressions and contexts in Arabic and Islamic speech and writing. Al-Salam is one of the 99 names of God in the Qur’an, and also a male given name in conjunction with abd. Abd Al-Salam translates to Slave of Al-Salaam (i.e. Slave of Allah.) In Hebrew, the equivalent of the word is Shalom. It is also the root word of the names Solomon (Süleyman), Selim, etc. The Koine Greek New Testament text uses eirēnē (εἰρήνη) for ‘peace’, which perhaps represents Jesus saying ‘šlama’; this Greek form became the Western feminine name Irene. In the Epistles, it often occurs alongside the usual Greek greeting chairein (χαίρειν) in the phrase ‘grace and peace’. However, comparison of the Greek Septuagint and Hebrew Masoretic Old Testament texts shows some instances where shalom was translated instead as soteria (σωτηρια, meaning “salvation”). Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic have cognate expressions meaning “peace be upon you” used as a greeting: – Arabic As-Salamu ʿAlaykum (السلام عليكم), this expression is used to greet others and is an Arabic equivalent of “hello”. The appropriate response to such a greeting is “and upon you be peace” (wa `alaykum as-salām). / – Hebrew שלום עליכם shalom aleichem. / – Neo-Aramaic ܫܠܡܐ ܥܠܘܟ šlama ‘loukh, classically ܫܠܡܐ ܥܠܝܟ, šlāmâ ‘laik.

The Alhambra – Arabic: literally means “the red one”; the complete name is “Qal’at al-Hambra”, which means “The red fortress”) is a palace and fortress complex of the Moorish rulers of Granada in southern Spain occupying a hilly terrace on the southeastern border of the city of Granada. Once the residence of the Muslim rulers of Granada and their court, the Alhambra is now one of Spain’s major tourist attractions exhibiting the country’s most famous Islamic architecture, together with Christian 16th century and later interventions in buildings and gardens that marked its image as it can be seen today. Its most westerly feature is the alcazaba (citadel); a strongly fortified position. The rest of the plateau comprises a number of palaces, enclosed by a relatively weak fortified wall, with thirteen towers, some defensive and some providing vistas for the inhabitants.
