Sulemani Aqeeq Tasbih - 99 Beads

The Stone

Banded Agate. This stone carries the name of the Prophet Suleman (AS), to whom Allah granted dominion over the jinn, the wind, and the animals. To hold a stone named after one of the great Prophets of Allah is to hold something that has been revered across Islamic tradition for centuries, sought by scholars and the pious alike. The black and white striations formed over millennia, pressure setting band upon band deep in the earth. Every bead carries a different pattern, and every tasbih is one of one. Each bead is hand-inspected for the clarity and integrity of its natural banding. Tilt the beads toward light and watch the lines shift.

The Craft

Each bead is strung on pure cotton thread. Cotton holds its shape over thousands of rotations, gains softness with age, and wears gracefully across years of daily use. The tassel is the same cotton, bound and trimmed by hand.

Fragrance

The separator beads between sections are made from a porous material that absorbs and holds attar. Rub a small drop of oil between your fingertips and press it onto these beads. As your hands warm them during use, the fragrance releases slowly, accompanying your dhikr quietly. The scent fades over days at its own pace. Reapply whenever you wish.

Care

• Store in the pouch when you set it aside
• Wipe beads with a soft, dry cloth
• Keep water and chemicals away from natural stone
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
• If the tassel is compressed during transit, comb it gently with any fine-toothed comb to restore its shape
• Colour change over time is natural and expected
