Chris Woodrich: Tasbih (Arabic: تسبيح‎) is a form of dhikr that involves the repetitive utterances of short sentences glorifying Allah, in Islam. Thsi picture is showing an item using wich Tasbih is done. This item is called Prayer beads. Mhhossein (talk) 17:59, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In Arabic, that is correct. In Persian (and in Indonesian; I wouldn't go to a religious items store here and ask to buy a misbaha; people wouldn't know what I was talking about, similar to how when I first arrived I had to refer to the veil as jilbab and not hijab because the latter word sounded too much like ijab kabul) the item itself is also known as a tasbih. Hence why I said "a product shot of a tasbih/misbahah", in recognition of the various names for the object. As for "This image should be in the tasbih article proper", obviously a picture of the act of tasbih would have good EV in an article on the act itself. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Chris Woodrich: Yeah, we call it Tasbih. Mhhossein (talk) 04:42, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I usually avoid opposing pictures but this one I should. Over contrast, level high, not at all reaching the genuineness of the situation but as Chris said, in artistic sense, its a good job but not for FP. SORRY! : DreamSparrow Chat 17:14, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
