.....In the naqshbandi-mujaddadi silsila zikr majalis, the sheikh and the mureeds do approx 20 mins of Muraqaba/Zikr e Khafi apart from the bayan of tha sheikh (my observation)....what generally takes place in Chishti Zikr gatherings, you have pas anfas as one practice of the silsila, the bara tasbeeh as another, and habse dam (underwater) as the third form of zikr...what zikr does the sheikh conduct in out of Pas Anfas and Bara Tasbeeh.....

And what happens in Qadri Zikr Gatherings, they have that zikr after every farz salah...but what do they have for group zikr??...I am learning about different silsilas to choose one in the end

Chisti: Usually there is a talk on an Islahi topic and then if new brothers are there, the method of Zikr is explained. There are many shorter versions of Bara Thasbih. One of these is picked. Something like:

200 X Laa ilaaha Illallah
400 X Allahu Allah
100 X Allah

Some esal-e-sawab is read before Zikr for the Mashaikh of the Silsilah. Zikr is done with Jahr (high voice) and Darb (movement of the head) sometimes, sometimes not too heavy on Jahr and Darb. Depends on the Shaykh and the Silsilah. Following Zikr Jahri sometimes Pas Anfas is done, sometimes Muraqaba is done. There are many Muraqabas in the Chisti Tariqa.

I have never seen Habs-e-Dam done in a Majlis and you will not see many or anyone doing it under water nowadays. It is not done under water anyway. That is not habs-e-dam. That is called Sipaya (as I have heard it). Not done much nowadays.

About the Qadiri Majlis someone will explain insha Allah
