A tasbih you can feel — 33 of each dhikr, ninety-nine to the round

The tasbih after prayer is thirty-three of each of three remembrances — SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar — ninety-nine in all, and then the round begins again. NURA's counter is a faithful digital bead for exactly that: a count that climbs from 1 to 33 and a phase that turns from one dhikr to the next, with the whole cycle felt in your hand as much as seen on the screen.

The three dhikr, in order

Thirty-three of each makes 33 × 3 = 99. The Arabic of the current dhikr sits in the centre of the bead so you always know where you are in the round.

Feel the count, not just see it

One big, honest target fills the screen. Tap it and a bead turns, with a distinct haptic for each moment so a tasbih works even without looking down at your wrist:

• Each bead — a light tap.
• The 33rd bead — a firmer buzz as the count turns to the next dhikr.
• The 99th — the firmest buzz and a brief glow as the full round closes and the loop returns to SubhanAllah.

A progress ring around the bead shows how far the current set of 33 has climbed, its gap shrinking toward completion. A screen-reader also announces the dhikr and the count on every tap, and calls out when a round of 99 is complete.

Your place is kept

Leave the screen mid-round and NURA holds your place — the running bead survives a reload, stored on the device. The counting model is a tiny, pure state machine: it clamps the count to 1–33, wraps the phase 0 → 1 → 2 → 0, and never hands back a broken value even if the stored state is corrupt. A single Reset returns you to the very start whenever you want a fresh round.

Small, exact, and tested

None of this touches the network, the clock or a server. The bead math is deterministic, which is why it is covered directly by NURA's automated test suite (~1,327 tests) and behaves identically offline. There is no account and nothing to sign in to; your dhikr count is yours alone and never leaves the phone.

The tasbih is one of NURA's daily tools that sit alongside the morning and evening adhkar counters, the 99 Names of Allah (in the canonical Tirmidhi order, exactly 99), the Qur'an khatm progress tracker, and the everyday duas — a whole worship layer that works with no signal at all.
