heyyo Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hey y'all. I'm in a religions 100 class. My prof is a muslim and when he was discussing Sikhism, it appeared that he was trying his hardest to make it and Islam out to be very similar. SO newayz, i've decided to research this in my essay, so i was wondering if anybody could provide some really good links or pieces of writing comparing the two, and proving that they ARE different, cuz my prof is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllly annoying me . It would be greatly appreciated if you guys could throw in your own two cents too, if you want ofcourse. Thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjj Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Suleman tape is a good one ! 1)A core-teaching of sikhi is that you need to meet God and that is only done by Guru's -Grace or you need to have a True Guru. This is there in the mool mantra as "Gur Parsaad". Islam recognises this as kafir-ism, plus we got a concept of re-incarnation and karma, they dont. i will post here later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Similarities: Preach monotheism Emphasis on God's will Theory of creation by God's will Giving alms to the poor and needy Condemning the practice of asceticism and idol worship Concept of Holy War, but for Sikhism it is only to fight injustice Differences: Doesn't believe one Holy book to have precedence over any religion, nor any religions prophet is the final messenger of God. Sikhism believes anyone of different religions can attain salvation while still following their own religion. The love of God has a great emphasis in Sikhism as opposed to fear of God. Belief that God has infinite names, not just the ones given by the Holy Book Non-Sikhs are allowed to visit and enter the most sacred shrines, even the Golden Temple Belief In Reincarnation and Cycle Of Life & Death Belief that everyone can obtain salvation, no idea of Kafir'ism Women are allowed to lead congregations Belief that women don't need to wear a veil Doesn't believe in fasting or pilgrimage Doesn't believe in circumcision Rejects the idea of killing animals by evoking prayers or slow death, thus Halal meat is prohibited by the Sikhs. anyone else please add anything that i may have missed out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew this question would be raised... please follow the link below of a Muslim discussion forum and find it out for yourself... itz a wierd forum... the funny thing is they are themselves badly confused to find the right answers from Quoran... there is one person who is repeatedly saying Inshallah..... makes a funny reading... you would enjoy your stay there... There is also one thread like "Sikhism on Islam" it makes a very interesting reading too... http://www.gawaher.com/i2/index.php?act=ST&f=53&t=2034& 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagan Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 this site is a good site where u can get comparisons of Sikhi with other main religions, i.e. Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Budhdism n Naturalisms. The site is: http://www.sikhspirit.com/ Just scroll down, and look on the left hand side, where it says Comparative Religion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
