I feel its more like a Dharmic religion. Its not really a missionary faith, doesn't believe in hell, and I hear Sikhs believe in rebirth.

As it arose almost exclusively from a Hindu cultural background, it is essentially Dharmic in origin. But in terms of the conception of God, it does look very much like Abrahamic religions in style.

Sikhi is a unique religion. It can be describe as a bridge between various religions. For Guru Nanak, only that can be said as religious person who treats everyone equal. It is absent in Hindus, Muslims and Christians. Sikhs also share some commonality with Buddhism and Jainism. Sikhs believe in Karma and reincarnation is also unique. Sikhism ridicules begging and practice of celibacy. Sikhs also ridicule concepts of angels coming and delivering message and God as father of any individual child. It does share concept of charity with Christianity. In Sikh prayer Sikhs pray for goodness of humanity not only their own people. Sikhism rejects the creation of parallel god in the form of statues.
