Mother earth gave birth to many noble souls, but some half baked beans without any knowledge of earth and its birth years, declared himself as messenger of god messengers of god, And asked his followers to preach the world that he alone can see god, and all the people of the world have to accept its preachings, Before he was born in Saudi, the Egyptian civilization was born. Saudi was an empty barren land and mostly lust,sex and wine was Saudi culture. But Egypt was highly superior to Saudi, He Ordered the prosecution of Egypt. Today Egypt falls in the feet of Saudi, Egyptians do not pray their ancestors, Iran was highly superior in culture and its religion Zoroastrianism, But the saudis invaded iran and asked the people of iran to convert to islam else, they were killed. The iranians came to india seeking shelter, India thus saved Iran, its life zorastrianism, The ancestors of iran live in india not in iran, Iran is today a slave under saudi kuran. Just as a women is being himiliated by disrobing her and make her run infront of the world. Mohammad the prophet and muslim army with the help of Kuran invaded every country in the world and stripped the country of its religion. He ordered that all human should not keep their ancestors names, but his name and those who kept their ancestors name where treated as infidels. Day by day he started molesting women and converted people to islam. He used the sword to ask his followers to convert into his theory. He pulled down the places of worship and built mosques. He looted money and taxed people of other religion to build mosques. Mother earth was humiliated by him, It is said that GOD is powerful than allah.
It was the time for the god to take birth. From day one God was born again and again only in one place, and that was India. Thus gurunanak was born, he gave a befitting reply to mohammad the prophet and his kuran theory. He taught allah a lesson.
And thus saved the mother earth and many religions. THat is why SIKH religion is the world highest religion after parsi religion
Even today also one can find that traitors to one's motherland are muslims(Not all muslims) but majority. THe reason is due to this only. Each and every muslim was converted by molestation or by knife point. When a person prays in mosque, which was built by looting the wealth of a country or by destroying the some other religious worship, he is bound to get only evil thinking
What is inside the kuran nobody sees, but the output it gave to earth for the past 1000 years is humiliation to human beings
loving_human has no idea about Sikhism .
There is nothing to confuse about.
Guru Granth Sahib has clearly stated that Sikhism is a religion on its own , not sect of any other religion.
Tell me , Do Hindus keep uncut hair , do they wear 5 K's of Sikhism ?
Do Hindus read Guru Granth Sahib and believe in Sikh code of conduct ? no .
The fifth Sikh guru has clearly stated on page no 1136 of Guru Granth Sahib :
Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
I do not keep fasts, nor do I observe the month of Ramadaan.
I serve only the One, who will protect me in the end. ||1||
The One Lord, the Lord of the World, is my God Allah.
He administers justice to both Hindus and Muslims. ||1||Pause||
I do not make pilgrimages to Mecca, nor do I worship at Hindu sacred shrines.
I serve the One Lord, and not any other. ||2||
I do not perform Hindu worship services, nor do I offer the Muslim prayers.
I have taken the One Formless Lord into my heart; I humbly worship Him there. ||3||
" I am not a Hindu, nor am I a Muslim. "
My body and breath of life belong to Allah - to Raam - the God of both. ||4||
Says Kabeer, this is what I say:
meeting with the Guru, my Spiritual Teacher, I realize God, my Lord and Master. ||5||3||
This paragraph is by Saint Kabeer , but improved by Guru Arjan ( 5th Sikh guru ) which clearly states that Sikh is neither hindu nor muslim .
what I find weird is that this people say "we love sikh gurus as ours" , but then give thumbs down to answer which contain Gurbani . hypocrisy !
@ scrappy Coco :
Guru Nanak is for all humanity , not for sikhs alone . Harmandar saheb is temple of hari ( god ) . Thats why it has 4 doors . so that anyone from any religion or caste can enter and enjoy the essence of god's name.
Sikhism is like a rose . Rose is never safe without thorns . anyways thanks.
Correction - People fail to understand that Japji starts with "ek onkar" and they are saying ek omkar .
Sikhism is carrying the Hindu "Vedanta"(many Hindu can't understand that) philosophy perfectly and Gurus of this religion sacrifice their life for India more than one times.this religion tolerate many attacks up on India.
Sikhism is a patriotic, universal,respectful,divine religion.
But some says, it is not very right to say it is Hinduism...(well,I think one reason for that, is Hinduism content thousands of ideologies and sect which are "seemingly" contradictions,but Shikh ideology is very sincere to avoid contradictions.)for them towards Guru every human are same,towards him no body is poor,no body is rich,no one is Hindu,none is Muslim,all are human, children of god.there are no difference among us.
It is tolerate like Hindu ideologies and also followers of this religion have the great power to carry it.(but some people wants to see Sikhism as a separate religion).
lastly we Hindu follow shaikh gurus just like a Sikh follow them.
@Asperient Sikh:Yes,you are very right. really its strange....
(that only thumbs up to your question, is from mine...)and also you have mention some preach of the great Guru to help interested persons.Now,really me also understand why shaikh has to be separate(or they never include them in Hindu religions).Long live Sikhism.
and answer of your questions:No, We do not follow those 5 rules. But we respect them as you guys do.and the Golden temple is a holy place for Hindus too.in my grandma's worship room,she keep Guru Nanak and some other Gurus picture. And we celebrate the "Guru Nanak Jayanti" very seriously.
Thank you, right more...
Why are you confused about Sikhism? Its a religion that originated from Hinduism... it has many rules similar to Hinduism... Its not just teachings of few saints.. but a religion in itself
I hope you are not confused now
Mr Naseer khan ."you really want the 100% true answer"?if yes THEN even the people who are thinking that "they are Sikhs even they can not answer this question"because they do not know what is religion and what is a (pa nth).that is why in 500 years they separated in to almost 50 groups.and they are fighting with each other. BUT it is a (pa nth) took some ideas of different religions. but mostly from Hindus and Islam etc.
Sikhism is presently a religion/pa nth known for Obedience of great Gurus/sacrifice/volunteering/ born from Hinduism. Sikh word means shush- devoted learner of Guru(master).
Pl see a spiritual song in Guru-Vani..and decide this philosophy is matching to Whom (Hinduism).
All the great Gurus had worked with a common person in society in their time and put the complex spiritual knowledge of Vedas/braggart in simplified common man's language. They had realized the God themselves and spread this knowledge/ realization for all sects of Hindu society, challenging
the highly learned Pandits sharing this knowledge in restricted manner.
From fifth Guru onwards, they were tortured by Muslim rulers for spreading their knowledge to the common people.
Kahe re van Khan Kai,
(why you go to forest to search God)
Arv novas Sada alepa, tohey sang samai,
.(God is omni present, above all but present in you)
.
pushap mahi jim bas basat hai
(like fragrance present in the flower)
mukur mahi jim chhayee,
.
.
taese hi hari base nirantar,
(similarily God is present continuously)
ghat mein khojo bhai,
(in the body, o brother to find out).
Andar bahr ekahu jano,
( know that inside and outside of the body same god is there)
yah guru gyan batai,
(this knowledge is given by the Guru, the true master)
Kaho nanak bin apa chinhey, mite na bhram ki kai
(Guru Nanak says that without knowing yourself, confusion/doubts can not be removed)
Guru is the person who guides us to God. That is why saint Kabir said if God and guru come together first prostrate to Guru as he is the reason why god has come to you. Following this principle Sikhs treat Guru as God and worship hm and his words. Followers of Guru Nanak were begin to be called as Sikh and in course of time it became rigid like any other religion.
Explaining about God in japji sahab- God is one, his form is Aum, his name is true, he is only doer in this world, he is beyond fear, have no enmity, beyond time, beyond birth, he will be known only by blessings of Guru, God was true in before beginning of universe, was true during milleniums, is true at present, will also be true in future.
Tenth Guru, Guru Govind Singh Jo created a separate pa nth/religion by inviting 5 persons who can sacrifice themselves for savior of the Hindu society against atrocities of the then Muslim ruler. Those five persons were then respected as Pan pare(five loving persons) beginner of Khalsa(means pure) pa nth, Guru GovindSingh Jo took Avrit from those five persons.
