Tracklist + Liner Notes

  1. The Gift of Love

    Diliges proximum tuum tamquam te ipsum
    [Translation: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’. (Mark 12:31)]

    Love to give!
    To give is love,
    And love the gift,
    The gift of love.

    No belief!
    Without the love,
    Believe in love!
    The belief of love.

    None of you truly believes until you love for your neighbour what you love for yourself.

    [A saying of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)]

    Love to give!
    The gift of love,
    Give the other,
    All your love.

    What a relief!
    To give my love,
    I am now you,

    And you are my love!

    Composed, arranged and performed by Sami Yusuf
    Written and composed by Ghazi bin Muhammad
    Mixed & Mastered by Vishnu Rajan @ Andante Studios
    All Choirs (including Gregorian) recorded at Futura Productions (Boston, USA) and conducted by Clayton Mathews.
