- 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,

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)]

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!

The Gift of Love” is the world’s first ever world interfaith anthem and was composed and performed by Sami Yusuf for UN World Interfaith Harmony Week.
The music video was filmed in Jordan across various locations including Petra (the seventh wonder of the world), the Baptism Site where Jesus Christ was officially baptized, Wadi Rum—which is home to some of the most extraordinary desert scenery you can see—and of course, at the Holy sites in Jerusalem.
