A video through a post is being widely shared on social media claiming that a miracle had happened at Kaaba, where the door of Kaaba was opened and the prayers were performed by some unknown entities. Let us fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video of Miracle in Kaaba where the door was opened, and prayers were performed by unseen figures.
Fact: The video is from Ramadan when the door of Kaaba was opened for a Muslim leader visiting the Haram. The video shows workers preparing the entrance (opening the door) to the Kaaba for a political delegation during prayers. The door of Kaaba is usually opened for leaders, influential personalities from all around the world, to perform ‘Umrah’. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When reverse image search is done on the screenshots of the video, a Facebook post with similar image of people holding cameras near Kaaba was found. The Facebook post by a Facebook group named, ‘Will of Allah’ said, ‘video circulating on social media regarding ‘paranormal activities’ in the Kaaba are false.’ It says that the video was from Ramadan when the door of Kaaba was opened for a Muslim leader visiting the Haram.
A media outlet from Saudi Arabia had fact-checked the same video that was going viral on social media and confirmed that the claim was false. The video was captured during Ramadan. The video shows workers preparing the entrance (opening the door) to the Kaaba for a political delegation during Tahajjud (night) prayers. The door of Kaaba is usually opened for leaders, influential personalities from all around the world, to perform ‘Umrah’.
To sum it up, visuals of Kaaba door opened for a Muslim leader is falsely shared as a miracle.
