Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! We offer a 30-day policy. Simply contact our customer support team and you will be in good hands. 
 
3. Will I pay customs?
We do all we can to clear customs before our work is shipped. Many countries allow us to pre-pay customs and we always do. That being said, there are times when customers may be charged customs, but this is very rare.

5. Will my Tasbih Break?
Our top priority is durability. We want your set to last a lifetime. It is with this vision that we source the most durable material, choose our designs, and most importantly select our string.  After years of experimentation and research, we have honed in the strongest strings available in the world market. We use highly abrasive resistant strings to last you a lifetime

7. What is covered in the lifetime guarantee?
Everything in life is temporary; it's just that some things are made to last longer than others. Even mountains wear away, eventually. Our warranty does not cover rough handling. Our beads are designed for devotion, not dramatic action stunts. We guarantee that you will own a functional set for the rest of your life. This comes down to the main string and the main beads. Our warranty does not cover the tassels, the counter beads, the abacus counter, or any other accessories.

13. Why do your Tasbih sell out so quickly?
Our craft is a very time-intensive one. It takes many days of diligent work to craft a quality Tasbih. This means that by definition all of our work is 'limited edition'. Some of our sets sell out within days of release, and although we do our best to meet this demand, the nature of our craft must be respected.
