Shadhiliya prayer beads

Shadhiliya prayer beads are a traditional tool used by followers of the Shadhili Sufi order to aid in spiritual practices. Typically composed of 33 or 99 beads, they are used to count recitations of specific prayers, such as the Allahu Akbar or other dhikr (remembrance) phrases. The beads help practitioners focus their mind, maintain ritual consistency, and deepen their spiritual connection. Beyond their functional purpose, they also serve as symbols of devotion and discipline within the Sufi tradition. The design and material vary, but their primary role remains facilitating mindfulness and spiritual remembrance.
