AR
Rahman,
who
after
doing
India
proud
with
his
double
victory
at
both
the
Oscars
and
the
Grammies,
is
set
to
promote
love
and
unity
through
his
music
because
it
his
belief
that
Islam
has
been
hijacked
by
extremists.
Allah
Rakha
(AR)
Rahman,
who
was
earlier
called
Dileep
Kumar,
expressed
that
Islam
had
a
rich
musical
tradition.
He
reveals
that
Islam
appealed
to
him
because
it
was
a
religion
based
on
unconditional
love
and
a
belief
in
one
God
and
one
love.
He
admits
to
being
specifically
drawn
to
Sufism.
The
44-year-old
musician
clarified
that
Islam
doesn"t
forbid
music,
as
contrary
to
what
fundamentalists
popularize.
He
states
that
he
never
skips
prayers
as
it
is
his
reprieve
from
tension
and
it
gives
him
hope
that
God
is
with
him.
He
wants
to
work
to
create
music
that
will
bring
people
together.
Some
of
his
best-known
works
like
the
soundtrack
from
Slumdog
Millionaire,
Elizabeth:
the
Golden
Age,
the
hit
musical
Bollywood
Dreams,
and
