Many businesses begin with investors and detailed plans. But mypraisebeads began with a mother, three children, and a simple idea during lockdown.
This was her motto:
“If we want to teach our children business, let’s build one together.”
— Mother of the mypraisebeads team
What started as a homeschool lesson is now a growing tasbih brand known for handcrafted semi-precious stone prayer beads - designed, assembled, photographed, and managed by teens.
During lockdown in 2020, Karishma, a home-schooling mum of five, wanted her children to learn entrepreneurship in a practical way. Instead of worksheets and theory, she believed the best teacher would be experience.
The turning point came while she was searching for an Eid gift for her husband. She wanted a Lapis Lazuli tasbih, something meaningful, something well-designed, and reasonably priced. But she couldn’t find one that felt right.
So the family decided to make one themselves.
They bought beads to create a gift.
Then they made more.
And somewhere between matching stones and tying knots, they discovered something unexpected. That simple Eid gift became mypraisebeads. Five years later, the business is still growing.
What makes mypraisebeads special are the teenagers behind them. This is not a “help mum sometimes” type of project. The kids are deeply involved in every part of the business.
a. The 18-year-old developed and currently manages the website, photography, and accounting. He also does quality checks and finishes each tasbih off with its unique stone or pendant.
b. The 16-year-old communicates with customers, manages social media and marketing and handcrafts the tasbihs.
c. The 13-year-old is the chief designer and the creative mind behind the mypraisebeads creations and handcrafts the tasbihs.
Each child has taken ownership of specific roles based on their strengths. Through this, they’ve learned responsibility, time management, customer service, and consistency.
It’s not always easy. Motivation dips. Orders can feel overwhelming. The living room often fills with beads and packaging. But the goal remains clear: build something meaningful and teach lifelong skills along the way.
There are many tasbih brands available. So why choose mypraisebeads?
The teen’s creativity shapes each collection. They experiment with colour combinations, stone textures, and pendant styles. Their ideas give the brand a distinctive look that feels fresh but is still respectful of tradition.
All tasbihs are made using semi-precious natural stones. Decorative beads may be added in some designs, but quality remains central.
The smooth 6mm beads are carefully selected to ensure a comfortable grip, balanced weight, and easy movement during dhikr.
Every tasbih is strung on 0.8mm strength-tested cord. Durability matters because a tasbih is something people use daily, especially during Ramadan.
The spacing between beads is carefully measured so they move smoothly under the fingers. This detail may seem small, but it makes a real difference during long sessions of dhikr.
Each 99-bead tasbih comes packaged in a luxury pouch and a gift box. This makes them immediately suitable for gifting, no extra wrapping needed!
