Sorry, its proberly just the wording.

The Jews, Chrisitans and the Hindus all actually believe in the EXISTENCE of the one, exact and same God i.e. Allah - the one true God who has no partners, rivals etc.

However, Islamically this belief in his existence ALONE does not make one a Muslim as one must believe that He (Allah) is the ONLY one to be worshipped and the crux of that is to worship Allah AS HE PRESCRIBED. After all we humans who are prone to errors could not devise error-free ways to worship God properly. Worship would become nonsensical over time.

So the worship God has prescribed for mankind MUST be adhered to strictly and hence the fundamental belief in the Qur'an, The Last Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) etc. Without these beliefs and followings one is not a Muslim.

Yes, my wording wasn't the best selected. Just had to answer as many post ASAP or I would have hyperventilated (sp)

Sikhs are not Muslims, we have never claimed to be (it's muslims who say we are etc) Hindus say we are hindus (again were are not)

What the purpose of Sikhi was, that as it's the last relgion to have been introduced to the world. The Gurus were ordered by Allah to reveal the name of God once more. As those that have come previously, have either distorted the message or have swayed off the path. Allah is one, and we do not follow Mohammed but he is respcted just like all the other Prophets of ohter faiths.

The Shri Guru Granth Sahib is the divin word for us which has been written by the Sikh Prophets and no other. (Unlike the Bible Quran Vedas etc) This to us seals that message. God sends down the Prophets and then ASKS them to write the message THEMSELVES. Left to any tom dick or harry, well it's prone to distortion you'll find!
