Khuda Kay Liye (Urdu: خدا کے لیے, also released as In the Name of God in international markets)[4] is a 2007 Pakistani drama film[5] directed by Shoaib Mansoor, produced by Brigadier Syed Mujtaba Tirmizi from ISPR and stars Shaan Shahid, Fawad Khan and Iman Ali in pivotal roles, with a cameo appearance by Naseeruddin Shah.

The film follows Mansoor and Sarmad (played by Shaan and Khan), two singers whose lives changed after the 9/11 attacks in America and the misinterpretation of Jihad.

Khuda Kay Liye was released on 20 July 2007 in Pakistan and on 4 April 2008 in India, as well as screenings at various international film festivals.

However, shortly after 9/11, Mansoor gets arrested by the FBI due to his Islamic background and is detained and tortured for a year in Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

Wali (Naseeruddin Shah), a Maulana, then explains to the court how Islam is being misused in the name of war and hatred, bringing the religion forward believably and peacefully.

Meanwhile, Mansoor is still in FBI custody after a year of torment; the last torture session having inflicted permanent brain damage.

The way America and the West are dealing with the problem is very wrong — they are just trying to kill and suppress those Muslims who are being labeled as terrorists.

Shoaib Mansoor, the film's director, developed the idea after the misconceptions about Pakistan in the Pakistani diaspora and India.
