Rahma (Mandaeism)
In Mandaeism, a rahma (; plural form: ''rahmia'' ) is a daily devotional prayer that is recited during a specific time of the day or specific day of the week. There is a total of approximately 60 rahma prayers, which together make up the '' Eniania ḏ-Rahmia'' ( modern Mandaic: ''Enyāni d-Rahmi''), a section of the Qulasta that follows the '' Asut Malkia'' prayer. Translations E. S. Drower's version of the Qulasta, the ''Canonical Prayerbook of the Mandaeans'', has 64 rahma prayers translated into English that are numbered from 106 to 169. In Drower's ordering, the rahma prayers directly follow the '' Asut Malkia'' prayer (''CP'' 105), while the '' Ṭabahatan'' prayer (''CP'' 170) comes after the rahma prayers. Part 1 of the Oxford Collection in Mark Lidzbarski's '' Mandäische Liturgien'' (1920) contains 60 rahma prayers translated into German that correspond to prayers 106–160 and 165–169 in Drower (1959).Lidzbarski, Mark. 1920.

Drower's version of the Qulasta, which was based on manuscript 53 of the Drower Collection (abbreviated DC 53). In Drower's ordering, the ''Asut Malkia'' prayer (''CP'' 105) follows the rushuma prayer, while the '' ʿniana'' ("response") prayers come before the rushuma.

Whereas the tamasha is a "self-immersion" in which devotees dip themselves into the water, during the masbuta, devotees need to be immersed into water by a priest, not by themselves ...

List Of Qulasta Prayers
The list below contains the 414 Mandaean prayers in E. S. Drower's 1959 ''Canonical Prayerbook'' (also known as the Qulasta), along with their ritual uses. Many of the prayers are identical or nearly identical duplicates of other prayers in the prayerbook, as listed in the "corresponding prayer" column in the below. Introduction Opening lines, which exclude frequently used formulas such as "In the name of Hayyi Rabbi", are included since the original scribal commentaries in the Qulasta manuscripts, as well as external priestly esoteric commentaries (e.g., ''Scroll of Exalted Kingship''), typically refer to each Qulasta prayer by its opening line rather than by an ordered number. The English translations of the opening lines are from Drower (1959), while the Mandaic transcriptions of the opening lines, when available, are from Mark Lidzbarski's ''Mandäische Liturgien'' (1920).Lidzbarski, Mark. 1920.
