Rahma (Mandaeism)

In Mandaeism, a rahma (Classical Mandaic: ࡓࡀࡄࡌࡀ; plural form: rahmia ࡓࡀࡄࡌࡉࡀ) is a daily devotional prayer that is recited during a specific time of the day or specific day of the week.[1] There is a total of approximately 60 rahma prayers, which together make up the Eniania ḏ-Rahmia (modern Mandaic: Enyāni d-Rahmi[2]), a section of the Qulasta that follows the Asut Malkia prayer.[3]
