A murid (a person who's not a alim just the every day normal guy, earning bread & butter for living e.g busy man) will be asked to read three books of Hazrat Thanvi R.A 1 Talim ud Din 2 Hayat ul Muslimeen 3 Shariat o Tariqat Attend Sunday sermons at Khanqa, there used to be a zikr e jahr after the bayan, Which Hazrat R.A lead and the attendees would repeat (ALLAH HO, ALLAH HO ALLAH ,,,, etc) then dua, you would stay in touch with hazrat and any problems (Wordly/Deeni/Personal)you discuss, anecdotes will be advised accordingly. I hope this answers your questions brother.
