Why does Muslim rosary beads have 99 beads?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerYou are talking about a rosary that is for one set of mysteries, the old habit rosaries had 169 beads. There is a bead for each prayer. Each decade (there are five decades in a set of mysteries) has an Our Father bead and ten Hail Mary beads, plus there is one Our Father and three Hail Mary's for the preparatory prayers before you begin the Mysteries, the total comes to 59 for five mysteries.

Answer 2

There are not, a typical rosary that people tend to carry only has one set of mysteries, which is 5 decades of 11 beads each, with four beads to begin it, thus the small hand rosaries have 59 beads, but certainly not all rosaries.
