Chris Willman Music WriterRihanna has apologized to the Muslim community after an uproar over an appearance on an Amazon Prime-streamed lingerie show that included a song containing excerpts from sacred Islamic texts, calling its inclusion an “honest yet careless mistake.”“The use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible!” the singer admitted in a written statement that appeared in her Instagram Stories, adding that she would “make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.”Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty show included a section in which lingerie models danced to the song “Doom” by Coucou Chloe.

The 2017 track includes a passage from the Hadith, a sacred text to Muslims that is revered as a record of the Prophet Mohammed’s.
