Arabic · noun · Spirit & the Divine

Tasbeeh

तस्बीह
said tas-BEEH
also written: Tasbih
Meaning

The glorification of God by declaring His perfection; also the prayer-beads used to count such praises.

Usage & notes

Iqbal sometimes contrasts the mere counting of tasbeeh beads with the living glorification God truly desires. He prizes the spirit of praise over the mechanical telling of beads.
