The Oscar award winning music composer A.R.Rahman has been issued a Fatwa call by a Muslim group, Raza Academy lead by Mr.Noori. The only thing that he did was composing tunes for the Iranian Islamic movie Muhammad:The Messenger of God. Rahman had responded to them in a polite manner explaining his point of view.
He stated that he did not script the movie or produce it rather only the divine music was composed by him. The feelings which he had when composing tunes for the movie on Prophet were spiritual and personal.
In fact his idea of looking at Islam religion were the same as Mr.Noori who had given a statement that Allah Himself will question them on why people allowed it from happening. But what if Allah question the talented Rahman of not composing music for a film of Him that is made to unite people. Those who did not understand the concept behind it has to broaden their view with the help of the media.
A.R.Rahman justifies that the movie was not aimed to cause offence. Also he pointed that we live in India which give us freedom for religion and misconceptions to create violence have to be avoided. Finally he concluded with a line to solve the issue by not inviting aggressiveness in words or action but with grace and dignity.
A.R.Rahman responds to Fatwa with a philosophical explanation
