Allah Rakha Rahman (A. R. Rahman)

Indian composer Dileep Kumar was born into a Hindu family. During his father's illness and later family experiences, the family encountered Islamic Sufism and embraced Islam in the late 1980s; he took the name Allah Rakha Rahman. He became one of the world's best-known composers and spoke in interviews about the effect of faith and remembrance of God on his life. His statements and professional biography confirm the conversion.
