Worship
The Qibirad traditionally have 2 types of regular prayer to the Qibirad gods, the Uτẽnamu (𐤰𐤴𐤶𐤫𐤠𐤪𐤰) literally translating to "the prescribed and sanctified love" which is conducted on Fridays in which they first utter 2 prayers for each of the 3 living Ciwas facing the holy city of each Ciwš then then it is customary to say 2 more prayers to each of the 4 cardinal directions which each represents a faciwš or "god upon/high god".
The second primary regular prayer of the Qibirad is the Aslailas (𐤠𐤮𐤩𐤠𐤦𐤩𐤠𐤮) literally translated as "act of sovereign conveyance". This prayer is only said by the anointed priests in the Qibirad on behalf of their community and is said once each Wednesday. The contents of the Aslailas ceremony is secret with its rituals only known to the priests of the Qibirad.
Funeral Rites
To a follower of the Qibirad the most important thing in death would be the liberation of one's spirit from the body to either protect their family or to ascend into the stars. The Qibirad religion traditionally cremates their dead with the exception of the so called Afariakta burials where one would instead place their dead at the top of small stone towers so that local carrion birds may feast on the deceased's body so that their physical form may return to nature feeding the animals while their spirit would ascend having done a great act of charity.
