Choheili (2026) Salem Choheili () recites a different shorter version of the Malka ḏ-Kulhun Malkia prayer. This version is also recited by Salah Choheili at Ganzibra Dakhil Mandi in Liverpool, New South Wales, Australia; during communal brakha prayers performed before sermons, Salah Choheili recites an extended version of the sahduta, parts of the beginning and conclusion of the Asut Malkia (but not the main litany itself), rahmia prayers 110, 111, and 112, the Qulasta's prelude, and finally the King of Kings prayer (prayer 176).
