Legendary music composter A R Rahman claims that his decision of composing the music for the film 'Muhammad: The Messenger of God' is in good faith and that he is not intent on offending any religious group.

Rahman openly expressed his feelings through a letter on his facebook page and said, "This 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. I live in the western and eastern worlds and try to love all people for what they are, without judging them. I didn’t direct or produce the movie 'Muhammad (PBUH), Messenger Of God.'. I just did the music. My spiritual experiences of working on the film are very personal and I would prefer not to share these."

Reportedly, a fatwa was issued against Rahman and Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi for their involvement in the film which is based on the life of Prophet Muhammad.

Reacting to this, Rahman said, "My decision to compose the music for this film was made in good faith with no intentions of causing offence."
