Sibha al-Fuqara (Prayer Beads)

Presenting Sibha Al- Fuqara, following months of research of woods, threads, and colours amongst the Awliya and Fuqara of Morocco. 

The amalgamation of both Jujuba (An-Nabi) and Oud Salib (Peony) woods has created this unique sibha for the Fuqara, comprising of multitudes of secrets for the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual state. 

In the spiritual world, Jujuba is revered as amongst the most sacred woods, primarily for dispelling evil spirits and malevolent energies and bringing auspiciousness and fortune. 

Jujuba holds significance in personal cultivation and enhancing spiritual practices and abilities. Those performing dhikr on the sibha will notice an acceleration in their recital as the wood absorbs the spiritual energy which is transmitted to its user. Users of Jujuba sibhas are often left spiritually charged. Jujuba is considered as one of the supreme secret tools of people of spirituality  

Other secrets of Jujuba include dispelling nightmares, enhancing optimum vibrational frequencies and eliminating illnesses. The wood darkens the more it is used and becomes almost black through regular usage. 

Jujuba is often kept alongside Oud Salib by people of spirituality across Morocco. The primary function of Oud Salib is to absorb ayn- the evil eye and this manifests in the form of black markings on the wood. Amongst many of its medical benefits, Oud Salib is renowned for anti-inflammatory, gastro-intestinal issues and pains associated with menstruation. 

Sibha Al- Fuqara comprises of prayer beads made from An-Nabi and the dividers and head of the sibha made from Oud Salib. The green string is an integral feature of the sibha, and its green head represents the Green Dome of the Masjid un Nabwi Sharif as the supreme ‘crown’ for all sibhas. 

Sibha Al-Fuqara is available in two ranges at the moment; Sibha Al- Fuqara- Tijani and Sibha Al- Fuqara- Haqqani. The beads on the sibha equate to the wirds of each tariqa. The sibhas have been handmade in varying sized beads to suit different hand sizes.
