Leading Pakistani ulema have condemned an AI-generated video showing Islamabad’s Faisal Mosque as the target of a drone attack.
The video has been circulating on social media and has been attributed to Indian-sponsored Fitna al-Khwarij. The scholars strongly rejected the depiction and condemned the content.
Among those condemning the video were Pir Naqib-ur-Rehman, Dr Raghib Hussain Naeemi, Mufti Abdul Rahim and Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi.
Syed Ziaullah Shah Bukhari, Irfan Wasifi, Allama Asif Mir and Maulana Muhammad Hussain Akbar also condemned the video.
Mufti Karim Khan, Mufti Ramzan Sialvi, Maulana Zahid Mansoor and Maulana Tayyab Qureshi were among the other scholars who denounced the content.
Ulema Reject Depiction of Faisal Mosque Attack
The scholars said Faisal Mosque represents faith, worship and spiritual devotion for Muslims in Pakistan.
They said portraying the sacred site as a drone attack target insults the mosque’s sanctity. They further argued that such imagery attempts to associate fear, chaos and bloodshed with religion.
The ulema stressed that attacking mosques, worshippers and innocent people cannot be described as jihad or Islam.
“This is open misguidance, chaos, and terrorism. Islam is a religion of peace and human dignity, and the desecration of Islam’s sanctities is unacceptable under any circumstances,” they said.
They added that the depiction of Faisal Mosque as a target exposes what they described as the true nature of Fitna al-Khwarij.
According to the scholars, any group considering attacks on mosques has no connection with Islamic teachings.
Scholars Warn Against AI Propaganda
The ulema described the video as evidence of what they called an anti-Islam, anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan mindset.
They said the content seeks to portray mosques, worshippers, civilians and national symbols as potential targets in the name of Islam and jihad.
The scholars further alleged that Fitna al-Khwarij seeks to defame Islam, kill Muslims and destabilise Pakistan.
They said the AI-generated video reflects what they described as the group’s “abominable and criminal mind.”
The scholars maintained that ulema from different schools of thought have repeatedly rejected the group’s narrative.
They said its interpretation of Islam is false, misleading and contrary to Islamic teachings.
Public Urged Not to Spread AI-Generated Content
The scholars urged the public not to become intimidated by what they described as terrorist propaganda.
They called on people to avoid sharing such content across social media platforms. They also urged national unity against terrorism and support for state institutions and law-enforcement agencies.
The ulema said attempts to target mosques and Pakistani citizens would be confronted through law and national unity.
Their comments came as the AI-generated video continued circulating online, highlighting concerns over the use of artificial imagery to depict attacks on sensitive religious and national sites.
