The American singer Rihanna apologized to Muslims for using a song that includes words from an honorable prophetic hadith, which was shown last Friday, October 2, during the fashion show of her brand "SAVAGE X FENTY" for lingerie, which sparked a wave of anger and reactions Violent towards the singer to infringe on the sanctity of the Islamic religion.

While millions around the world awaited the annual presentation of the global Rihanna brand, which was met with much praise and admiration for the latest releases;

However, this hospitality was reversed after viewers discovered the use of words from a prophetic hadith in a song called "DOOM" by British singer Coco Chloe, in reference to "doomsday" (doomsday).

The singer Chloe released the song "Death" in 2016, and mixed in the song a sentence from a prophetic hadith about the Hour of Resurrection, and it was clear that the truncated sentence was intended;

Because - isolated from the rest of the hadith - it offends the Islamic religion, and reinforces the perception among some Westerners that it is a religion of violence and killing.

It came in the hadith of the Prophet narrated by Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari and authenticated by Ibn Majah that the Messenger of God said, “There is a frolic in the hands of the Hour

. Likewise, the

Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said not to kill the polytheists; rather, he kills each other until the man kills his neighbor, cousin, and kinship ... "to the end of the hadith.

Chloe extracted the sentence (

We are killing such-and-such idolaters in one year

), and combined it with the music of her song "Death" in a double offense to Islam and Muslims, the song that Rihanna used during the lingerie fashion show.

The pioneers of social networking sites expressed their deep dissatisfaction with what happened during the show, and some objected, saying, "My religion is not an aesthetic method for artists to use! Have some respect." .

Rihanna is messed up for using a song with a Hadith in it to play at her LINGERIE show.

What is up with artists using Islam as an aesthetic ??

Have some respect.

Not enough apology

After the wave of anger that spread on social media from Muslims and others who saw an unauthorized encroachment on Muslim beliefs, Coco Chloe posted an apology in a tweet on Twitter, saying I want to apologize deeply for the offense caused by my song "DOOM". I used samples of songs I found online, not knowing that these samples used text from an Islamic hadith.

I want to deeply apologize for the offense caused by the vocal samples used in my song 'DOOM'.

The song was created using samples from Baile Funk tracks I found online.

At the time, I was not aware that these samples used text from an Islamic Hadith.

And she continued in another tweet, "I bear full responsibility because I did not search these words properly, and I want to thank everyone who explained this to me, and we are urgently removing the song from all broadcasting platforms."

I take full responsibility for the fact I did not research these words properly and want to thank those of you who have taken the time to explain this to me.

We have been in the process of having the song urgently removed from all streaming platforms.

Despite Khloe's apology,

However, some did not consider that what happened was a lack of understanding, as she explained in her tweets, so one of the tweeters wrote what he believed that the one who wrote the song was aware of what he was doing, and he said that this (excerpt from) a very specific prophetic hadith, you must search until you stumble Therefore, it is not something non-Muslims would know unless they were looking for it, especially with mentioning the fact that the song is called “DOOM”, and the hadith revolves around the end of time.

With the campaign of anger continuing even after Chloe's apology, on Tuesday, October 6, Rihanna posted on her Instagram account an apology for what happened in the modeling, and said in her speech I would like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out what happened, which caused severe unintended abuse during Show "Savage X Fenty".

She added, "I would like to offer my sincere apologies for this mistake, and we understand the harm that we have caused to our Muslim brothers and sisters. I did not mean any kind of disrespect towards God or any religion. Therefore, using the lyrics of this song in our presentation was an absolutely irresponsible behavior. Now on, we will make sure nothing like this happens again, and thank you for your forgiveness and understanding. "

Reactions to Rihanna's apology were divided about those who accepted her apology, and considered it an unintended mistake as she explained, and that the mistake is not entirely her fault, but rather those who wrote the song had to investigate the words before using them, and some of them considered her apology unacceptable.

One of the accounts on Instagram posted a picture from a conversation with Rihanna's personal account, and the singer's response to what happened shows, "I hope people don't think I did it on purpose or that I was offensive or anything like that! I will never do it, just me." I feel bad because I caused people harm, but even though it was never my intention, the Muslim community is hurting me now, so that's the sad part. "

Rihanna responds to a fan regarding recent events:

“We're taking it out, I obviously had no clue.

Not the first time 

But considering that what happened was an unintended mistake according to Rihanna and the producer of the original song, the campaign of anger towards Rihanna was not only for this reason, she had previously, in 2013, published pictures of her in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, and appeared in the pictures in the mosque square in different positions. Decent, besides she did not get a permit.
