      <title>Experts confirm viral image of Ghilaf-e-Kaaba is fake</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330452304/experts-confirm-viral-image-of-ghilaf-e-kaaba-is-fake</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A picture circulating on social media claiming to show the Ghilaf-e-Kaaba, ‘Kiswah,’ laid on the ground has been confirmed as not authentic by experts, sparking discussions among Muslims about verifying information before sharing it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Ghilaf-e-Kaaba holds deep religious significance, and Islam encourages followers to control emotions and verify information before dissemination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Holy Quran’s teachings caution against spreading news without research, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade speaking without verification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Inside the Haramain team reviewed the viral image and consulted experts who have full knowledge of the Kiswah and its specifications.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--left  media--embed  media--uneven media--tweet' data-original-src='https://x.com/insharifain/status/2020838042278486096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2020838042278486096%7Ctwgr%5Ec1cd695a5f0903d4a8dfbcc36e3096493868cca5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aaj.tv%2Fnews%2F30499542'&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After careful analysis, experts concluded that the picture does not depict the real Ghilaf-e-Kaaba&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Experts noted that the cloth in the image differs in size, weight, and texture from the actual Kiswah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the real shroud’s panels require seven to eight people to move, the viral image shows a smaller cloth handled by three or four people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The texture and thickness of the real Kiswah also differ from the lightweight cloth seen in the image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additional discrepancies were observed in the patterns, borders, and medallions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The contrast and outlines in the viral image do not match those of the original Kiswah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Experts said the placement of decorative elements in the image clearly indicates it is not authentic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside the Haramain team emphasised that no claims about sacred objects should be made without verification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The organisation said definitive conclusions about the image’s authenticity can only be drawn with clear evidence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Experts concluded by praying for truth, patience, and caution, and urged people not to spread unverified information.&lt;/p&gt;
