Daily prayer in Mandaeism consists of set prayers that are recited three times per day. Mandaeans stand facing north while reciting daily prayers. Unlike in Islam and Coptic Orthodox Christianity, prostration is not practiced. Daily prayer in Mandaeism is called brakha.
Mandaean priests recite rahma prayers three times every day, while laypeople also recite the Rushma (signing prayer) and Asiet Malkia ("Healing of Kings") daily.
Prayer times
The three prayer times in Mandaeism are:
- dawn (sunrise) (corresponding to the Fajr prayer in Islam)
- noontime (the "seventh hour") (corresponding to the Zuhr prayer in Islam)
- evening (sunset) (corresponding to the Maghrib prayer in Islam)
