Types of Tasbih and their uses

When you see a Muslim, his very different attire draws attention, but, above all, an object in the form of a necklace that he carries in his hand. This camándula is known as Tasbih and is used to pray the dhikr, which is a ritual that Muslims perform after each of the five obligatory prayers.
