Be a Blessing Day honors The Bible/Tanakh verse Genesis/Bereishit 12:3. This day is about orchestrating your life to be a blessing to others, breaking down barriers, and forging unity between all mankind.
This verse 12:3 explains a promise to Abram (Abraham/Ibrahim) from God for his obedience and faith. The three great religions of The Book originate from Abram: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jesus Christ and the Prophet Mohammed are both descendants of Abram. All three faiths and their followers include this scripture in their books. The differences occur in the telling. The Tanakh and Bible tend to narrate genealogy in this chapter, and the Qur'an tells a narrative, or Sura, from a religious rather than genealogical perspective:
Tanakh version—Bereishit 12:3: "And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you."
Bible version—Genesis 12:3: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
Qur'an version—Surah An-Nisa 4:125: "And whose way of life could be better than that of he who submits his whole being to Allah, does good, and follows exclusively the way of Abraham whom Allah took for a friend?."
