وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ * وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ * وَشَـهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ * قُتِلَ أَصْحَـبُ الأُخْدُودِ * النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ * إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ |

| By the Sky (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs; * By the promised Day (of Judgment); * By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness― * Woe to the makers of the pit (of Fire), * Fire supplied (abundantly) with Fuel: * Behold! they sat over against the (fire), | |||
Stages of Discussion
- Why was Surah Burooj (ch.85) revealed? And what massacre took place that Allah (SWT) mentions even though it is a massacre of a group of Christians?
- How did the prophet warn Imam Ali about the early ISIS?
- Who are the two most influential thinkers who ISIS follows until today?
- How did Muhammad bin Abdulwahab make an agreement with the Saudi Royal Family to make sure that ISIS and the likes of ISIS had a backbone today?
- Is the Khilafa (caliphate) something which we really should want back? And for those who say: “the khilafa was when a human being can choose their leader,” How is that loads of nonsense?
- What is our role when it comes to speaking out against ISIS?
- For how many years have they tried to massacre the followers of Ahlulbayt? And which man, whenever we remember him, is a source of pride telling us never to fear death when death comes towards you?
