Mumbai, Sep 14: Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman said on Monday that his \"decision\" to compose the music for the movie \"Muhammad: The Messenger of God\", \"was in good faithâ€ with no intentions to offend any religious group.

Reacting to fatwa being issued against him over the film the musician refrained from sharing his â€œspiritual experiencesâ€ of working on the film as it\'s something â€œpersonalâ€ to him.

â€œThis letter is for all those people, who have been aware of the recent events concerning me. I\'m not a scholar of Islam. I follow the middle path and am part of traditionalist and part rationalist.

â€œI live in the western and eastern worlds and try to love all people for what they are, without judging them. I didnâ€™t direct or produce the movie \'Muhammad (PBUH), Messenger Of God.\'. I just did the music.

â€œMy spiritual experiences of working on the film are very personal and I would prefer not to share these,â€ Rahman shared through a letter posted on his official Facebook account.

According to reports, a fatwa was issued against Rahman and well-known Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi for their involvement on the movie on the life Prophet Muhammed. A Mumbai-based Raza Academy issued a diktat asking Muslims to reject the film.

As per a news report, the group\'s general secretary Mohammed Saeed Noori said: â€œWe are against the title. People may use it in a bad manner if they donâ€™t like the film, which will mean an insult to the Prophet.â€

The musician, who is known as the \'Mozart of Madras\', also noted that his decision to make music for the film was in good faith.

â€œMy decision to compose the music for this film was made in good faith with no intentions of causing offence,â€ he shared.

Rahman, who has hit the right notes with each of his compositions with examples like â€œO rey chhoriâ€ and â€œTum takâ€, went on to add that the conflict should be solved with grace and dignity, rather than resorting to violent methods.

â€œWe are indeed fortunate and blessed to live in a country like India where religious freedom is practiced and where the aim of all communities is to live in peace and harmony sans confusion and violence.

â€œLet us set a precedent in clearing conflict with grace and dignity and not trigger violence in words or actions,â€ he added.

It was also speculated that an event, which was schedule to be held in Delhi on Sunday, was cancelled due to the fatwa fallout.
