Day 04 - Sibha

Day 04 - Sibha One

One of the most feared things for humans is uncertainty. We seem to naturally retreat to counting numbers as a coping mechanism since they represent certainty, right? 1+1 will always be 2, but your exam results will not always be the same. In fact, a sizable subset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by an obsession with numbers. People with counting OCD may count to feel "correct" and escape the anxiety that comes with anything feeling "wrong."Sibha tends to take advantage of that by stimulating the intrinsic calming mechanism of counting numbers!

The Sibha is a string prayer used by Muslims to keep track of counting, perhaps originating from the widespread garments of religious bracelets (Rosary'- japamala-malas). The sibha is a string of beads worn by Muslims. Some have 33 beads, while others have 99. The talisman's number represents the 99 names of Allah. Muslims use it to recite the Islamic names for God (Tasbeeh) following the completion of their daily prayers. The sibha is never referenced in any holy scripture, yet it is nevertheless considered sacrosanct even though Muslims can practice tasbeeh with their hands. How such a basic product has existed for so long is truly remarkable. Beyond its primary use of counting, Sibha often serves as a cultural symbol, a fashion statement, or both. They are made of wood or precious stone. It can also be made of olive seed, ivory, pearls.

The natural swiping motion of beads provides a breathing room to observe your prayer words. While electronic sibha had their heyday, it didn't stay long since they made it purely mechanical.
