In Mandaeism, a ʿniana or eniana (Classical Mandaic: ࡏࡍࡉࡀࡍࡀ, lit. 'response'; plural form: ʿniania ࡏࡍࡉࡀࡍࡉࡀ) prayer is recited during rituals such as the masiqta and priest initiation ceremonies. They form part of the Qulasta. The rahma prayers are often considered to be a subset of the eniana prayers.
ʿNiana literally means "response," since the prayers may have originally been recited in a call and response manner.
Jacques de Morgan's manuscript collection included a ʿniania manuscript dating back to 1833.
The prayers have been translated into English by E. S. Drower (1959). They have also been translated into German by Mark Lidzbarski (1920).
A printed, typesetted Mandaic version was published by Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki in 1999.
In Al-Mubaraki's Qulasta, the following prayers are included in Ktaba ḏ-Eniania ("Book of Responses").
The following prayers are also considered to be ʿniana prayers according to Buckley (2010). They are numbered from 78–103 in both Drower's and Lidzbarski's versions of the Qulasta. These prayers are also known as eniania ḏ-maṣbuta and eniania ḏ-masiqta. Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki includes them as part of the Sidra ḏ-Nišmata (Book of Souls).
Several of the eniana prayers are duplicated in Book 3 of the Left Ginza (GL 3):
