A video is going viral on social media with a claim that women in Dubai were singing ‘Ram Bhajans’ in a mosque.
“मोदी है तो मुमकिन है, जय श्री राम दुबई में मुस्लिम ओरतो ने नई पहल करते हुए मस्ज़िद में राम भजन प्रस्तुत किया और उनके शेख पतियों ने ताली बजाकर लय बद्ध उनका साथ दिया, हिन्दुस्तान में होता तो इस्लाम खतरे में आ जाता। शेयर किजिये और 125 करोड लोगो तक पहुचाये,” the post read.
(Translation: If Modi is there then it is possible, Jai Shri Ram, Muslim women in Dubai performed Ram Bhajan in the mosque while taking a new initiative and their Sheikh husbands clapped and supported them. If it was in India, Islam would have been in danger. Share and reach 125 crore people)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found the claim to be false.
We extracted keyframes of the video and ran them through Reverse Image Search along with some keywords and found that the same video was uploaded by ‘Sri Sathya Sai Official‘ YouTube channel in 2012.
The description of the video read: A “Prashanthi” pilgrimage by the Region 94 of the Sai Organisation comprising the countries from Middle East and Gulf has enveloped Prasanthi Nilayam with Islamic Fervor. Devotees from Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey and United Arab Emirates, provided an Arabic flavour in Prasanthi Nilayam.
Based on this, we ran another search and found that Prasanthi Nilayam is the main ashram of Sathya Sai Baba located in Puttaparthi in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
We also found a virtual tour video of the ashram on the Sri Sathya Sai Official YouTube channel.
On the official Facebook page of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, we also found pictures of the Sai Kulwant hall.
On comparing the above picture with a screengrab of the viral video, it is clear that the location is the same.
Hence, from the above information, it is clear that it is an old video which was filmed in Andhra Pradesh in India and not Dubai as is being claimed in the viral post.
