Okay let me explain what Ghadat and Rateebul Ghadat is:

Ghadats are gatherings which the Malay muslims used as a tool to learn deen and make the Thikr of Allah way back in the days of slavery, it's was the Slaves who were brought over from Malaysia and Indonesia who first used this as a tool for keeping Islam alive.......

Todays format is as follows

Brothers and Sisters gather either in the Musjid or at someones home

They read Surah Yaseen 3 times
Tabarak; Alif La Meem and Lillahi and then the last three surahs
Then Different kinds of Athkaar are recited
Then dua
Then you eat

Variations include using a drum and sometimes singing the islamic praises

Rateepul Ghadat

I've only seen this twice or thrice. Basically the dancers go into a trans out of making thikr, they then stab themselves through the ears and stomachs, some bleed others dont.....

you make up your own mind
