A very nice and interesting article, with lots of Information. I just have one question. It is said that Muslim prayer beads have 99 beads plus the big one, but on the Picture of the Muslim prayer beads there are not 99 beads, but something around 32 or 33... Is there an Explanation about this number of beads? Just curious, thanks
I believe that the 33 is used the same as the 99, though one has to go three times around to get to the 99.
Thanks Hillary, what a simple conclusion! How could I not think of it! Thank you!
