Muslims around the world consider their beliefs as sacred. Regardless of which country or ethnicity they are, to Muslims, the piety of their religion is as important as life itself.
Only a day after the Denmark Holy Quran burning incident, Muslims around the globe are uniting in rage against famous singer Rihanna.
Rihanna, who has won numerous Grammy awards and runs her own brand called Fenty, has come under fire for a using song with Quranic hadiths.
Rihanna, who was collaborating her brand Fenty with Savage, is now being asked to publicly apologize to the Muslim world. A lingerie (innerwear) shoot organized by Savage X Fenty, showcased a song that has hurt Muslim feelings.
Using Islamic Hadith as a Background Music is Highly Discourteous. Rihanna and All Others who were Involved in this Shit can Fuck Off. And to All the Islamophobes, It's Abhorrent not Aesthetic. You don't Know Anything about Our Religion, so Stay Out of it.pic.twitter.com/jW3mZiLlKF

The song, basically, featured Quranic Hadiths. Doom by Coucou, a song that has been on the internet for a while, was chosen for this show.
The song holds words from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s sayings, narrated by Hazrat Abu Huraira, from Sahi Bukhari.
The shoot has become more disrespectful for Muslims because the models were showcasing the brand’s lingerie collection. Since the word got out, people have been calling for #CancelRihanna.
Surely, the organizers of the show, including Rihanna’s team must have known what the song was about. For them to still use it, is true, another pinch towards Muslim feelings.
This is how Muslims are reacting to Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Lingerie show
Rihanna better get cancelled for this like how disrespectful can someone be to use a religious Hadith as a song for a lingerie show and have people dance to it, it’s just so wrong and disgusting. pic.twitter.com/CrtaGTowfI

The fact that you have to sit there and find an excuse for the music producer and Rihanna herself makes me sick. Whether the song was produced by Rihanna or not, lets not forget that Rihanna agreed to play this "song" at her lingerie show. Focus on defending our religion. https://t.co/sBgECfOvJ0

It can clearly be seen that Muslims are extremely offended by this notion. Some have been speaking in favor of Rihanna, but mostly, people have questioned her ignorance.
This was a huge show for her brand Fenty, which has certainly got the attention, but not in the way Rihanna would have wanted. Moreover, incidents like these need to be chalked out so they do not repeat in the future.
The cancel culture is surely targeting Rihanna now, and with Muslim sentiments hurt to the extreme, the only way for Rihanna to work this out is by apologizing.
