Since i was young in high school i grew up watching my grand father collecting mesbahs (rosaries), after he passed away my father took over this hobby, and continued collecting and having his own collection. The bag contains some rare and very precious ones, collected from more than one country. He also, sometimes, buy his own rock and custom made his mesbah.
And now back to my beginning, since i was, at the time, in high school i couldn’t afford them coz the price range starts from KD 40 to KD 950 per mesbah so i decided to go with the plastice ones 😛 which only cost 500 fils 😛
So i started with the plastic ones hen with to the Netherlands’ ones (we call it holandy in Kuwait) this type got the second place in ranking, until i was able to buy the German ones which are the most expensive and the top of the line.
Just for the record all these pictures are from my fathers misbahs since he got around 90 misbah (mashalah) 🙂
I think that most people from my generation doesnt know/care about this collecting misbahs hobby. The one and only one I found who loved mesbahs as well was Tareq.. He’s a good collector by the way bs eshwaya na7eees 😛
These are the cases for storing the misbahs .. each case can hold up to 15 misbah.
and nowwwwww this is my ONLY case 🙁 My whole collection consist of ONLY 12 misbahs … walah 7araaam kel hal esneeen o bas 12 !!
Any way just want to thank my dad for letting me take some pics of his collections.
