In Islam, you repeat specific phrases 33 times as part of dhikr (remembrance of God) after prayers. These phrases, known as tasbih, are:
- Subhanallah (سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّٰهِ) - Glory be to God
- Alhamdulillah (ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ) - Praise be to God
- Allahu Akbar (ٱللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ) - God is the greatest
The Practice of Tasbih
After completing the obligatory prayers (Salat), Muslims often engage in tasbih, which involves reciting these phrases a specific number of times. The reference highlights that after reciting "Subhanallah" 33 times, one then recites "Alhamdulillah" 33 times, followed by "Allahu Akbar" 33 times. The process culminates with a final recitation of "Allahu Akbar" to complete 100 recitations.
