The Sikh Scriptures are unique among the religious "Holy Books" of the world in that they don't just offer spiritual guidance for the Sikhs alone but impart guidance and assistance for all the peoples and religions of the world.
Bhagat Kabir who is a prominent contributor to the Sri Guru Granth Sahib says on page 479:
Says Kabeer, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; I teach both Hindus and Muslims. ((4)(4)(13)) |
SGGS Page 479 |
It's clear that the SGGS gives directions to the various religious peoples of the world to point them in the correct path. The different religions ("paths to God") and their "Holy Books" are supported and are not directly criticized but the followers who do not follow these scriptures properly are reproached and admonished.
My body and breath of life belong to Allah - to Raam - the God of both. ((4)) |
SGGS Page 1136 |
The One Lord is within both Hindu and Muslim; Kabeer proclaims this out loud. ((3)(7)(29)) |
SGGS Page 483 |
Some bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage, and some make the pilgrimage to Mecca. Some perform devotional worship services, and some bow their heads in prayer. ((2)) |
SGGS Page 885 |
All belong to the One God
All are Yours, and You belong to all. You are the wealth of all. Everyone begs from You, and all offer prayers to You each day. |
SGGS Page 86 |
Who can estimate Your worth, God? You are kind and compassionate to all beings. |
SGGS Page 608 |
Don't worry - let the Creator take care of it. The Lord gives to all creatures in the water and on the land. |
SGGS Page 1070 |
O Lord and Master, You are inaccessible and merciful. Everyone meditates on You. All beings are Yours; You belong to all. You deliver all. ((4)) |
SGGS Page 301/2 |
Teachings for Hindus
The Muslims have lost their five times of daily prayer, and the Hindus have lost their worship as well. Without their sacred squares, how shall the Hindu women bathe and apply the frontal marks to their foreheads? |
SGGS Page 417 |
The Hindus have forgotten the Primal Lord; they are going the wrong way. As Naarad instructed them, they are worshipping idols. |
SGGS Page 556 |
Teaching for Muslims
There are five prayers and five times of day for prayer; the five have five names. Let the first be truthfulness, the second honest living, and the third charity in the Name of God. |
SGGS page 141 |
Your Holy Scriptures say that Allah is True, and that he is neither male nor female. But you gain nothing by reading and studying, O mad-man, if you do not gain the understanding in your heart. ((2)) |
SGGS Page 483 |
It is difficult to be called a Muslim; if one is truly a Muslim, then he may be called one. First, let him savor the religion of the Prophet as sweet; then, let his pride of his possessions be scraped away. |
SGGS page 141 |
Maaroo, Fifth Mehla: O slave of the inaccessible Lord God Allah, Let compassion be your Mecca, and the dust of the feet of the holy your fast. |
SGGS page 1084 |
