STATEMENT: I'm not promoting my religion before i get scolded, it's a genuine request!
I was always curious about his opinion on sikhism though i always knew he would reject Sikhism but i always wanted to know the area in sikhism which he would choose to attack. so while searcing for his opinion this is the ONLY website i've found (which is another example of his decieving people by his skill) in his analysis of Sikhism the "concept of God in major religions" where he wrote very briefly about Sikhism and made grave mistakes in order to mislead people by writing like guru Nanak Ji was influenced by Shiekh Kabir Ji, and has nowhere mentioned the qualities of Guru Granth Sahib?
The thing is he cant pick whats wrong about Sikhism because its full of common sense, all he can say is Guru ji was influenced By Kabir Ji, which was nonsense. - Now i only ask because he's compared all other religions and refutes them, but not Sikhism, Why is the question i'm asking? Does anybody have any clips from youtube or other sources because i can't find a thing, only this one link?

Ėk Gusā Alhu Mėrā
The One Lord, the Lord of the World, is my God Allah.
Dhan Guru Arjan Dev Mahraaj Ji!
Kal Meh Bėḏ Atharbaṇ Hū Nā Kẖuḏā Alhu Bẖa.
In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Atharva Veda became prominent; Allah became the Name of God.
To my knowlege, there is nothing on his views about sikhism. A friend once inqured IRF about sikhism, but all they said was we focus on the larger world religions more, but we can if you wish give you links to other websites about sikhism.
Make Dua for your Brothers and the Angels will make Dua for You!
Happy moments, Praise Allah
Difficult moments, Seek Allah
Quiet moments, Worship Allah
Painful moments, Trust Allah
Every moment, Thank Allah
If Allah brings you to it, He will bring you through it
The thing is he cant pick whats wrong about Sikhism because its full of common sense, all he can say is Guru ji was influenced By Kabir Ji, which was nonsense.
I dont think he knows enough about Sikhism to "refute" it. Also, his study concentrates primarily on Christianity and Hinduism.
The topic should not be diverted into Insulting Dr Zakir Naik, this can easily fall into backbiting. I'll let this topic slide and give people the opportunity to discuss it further. However, no off-topics and no ad hominem attack regardless of your personal opinions about Dr Zakir Naik.
Please people try and keep to the topic and be aware of what you say.
I personally don'y know anything about sikhism as I know about other religions. Maybe becuase it's a very young religion and it's related to other religions as Islam, Christianity and Judism are.
Tell me a little about your religion in your own words so I can form an opinion for myself.
thanks

Kabir developed his ideas in more or less the same context as that of Guru Nanak. Seems this particular time point in Punjabi history represents a stronger focus on asceticism and a new understanding of God within a milieu of Muslims, Hindus, Jains. Sikhism is a newer understanding that emerged in these communities during the time. It was also a response to the sectarian "wars" in Islam, Hinduism and Jainism. It surely picked on some characteristics of asceticism from Hinduism and the concept of one God from Islam.
But today, even Sikhs have divided into their understanding of the relationship between God and Guru Nanak. Some believe he was God-incarnate, just like how Krishna is God-incarnate. Others stick to a more monotheistic transcendental understanding of Om Kara.
Dr. Naik might not be an expert on Sikhism, but he has enough understanding of it to speak about it. If he makes a mistake, not a big deal, everyone does.

This is true, however the real understanding from the Sikh scripture should be is that Guru Nanak was considered One with God. He had lost all individuality from the material world and had replaced it with the source of it all, God.
I agree, Sikhism is a 'newer' religion thats why it is not compared alot and like someone said Islam links with the other big religions which are most of the population. Sikhism isn't explained or talked about enough in my opinion. I'd like to know about it more to be honest

intereting pics. They also have women/men section separate. Very much like Muslims in Pakistan. And that music scene, also similar to Barelwi Muslims in pakistan.
