Document transcribed from Dhives Akuru into Thaana script detailing ritual observances in Hukuru Miskiyy. It states that five imams are appointed to perorm solavaai every Friday at the time of congregational prayer. The first imam is to invite the sultan to appear, another recites the koalu solavaai, the third is responsible for sujjaadhu in the sultan's mussala, and the fourth recites sermon (khutba) and picks up the audha (sword). It also states that four of the imams go to receive the katheebu and give the solavaai text and feyli (traditional sarong) to the sultan, and that they recite surah Ya Sin every Friday near the ziyaaraiyy, and that they recite surah al-Ikhlas (112) three times a day. The text also stipulates contributes to the support of the Hukuru Miskiyy including 136 bama from the the lease of Thulusdhoo and Malé Machangoalhi, and the rasboli (cowrie shells taken from Rinboodhoo people) from Kunaameedhoo.
