We are in the process of insha'Allaah completing our latest article titled: Was Guru Nanak a Muslim?
In this regard, we have put up a survey on our site that we were hoping the brothers and sisters could participate in. This will provide an idea of the trends among Muslims on this issue.
Please be kind enough to take part and tell as many people as you know to insha'Allaah take part. Jazakumullaahu khair:

No. Guru Nanak was not a Muslim. I really like that initiative of Da3wah to Sikhs.
 
JazakAllaahu khairan for your reply and vote.

This may seem like a rhetorical question to some, but you'll be surprised to know that there are some Muslims who harbour this idea that Guru Nanak was either a Muslim, before his followers transformed him into a Hindu, or a Muslim who, for one reason or another, hid his Islaam.
We have received a number of questions from Muslims over the years asking us to cover this issue.

Anyway, we need for you to take part in this survey insha'Allaah and pass this on to as many people as you know so that some statistics can be put together for future reference.

May Allaah reward you all with good.

Wa salaam
 
Jazakumullaahu khairan to all those brothers and sisters who have voted so far.
In a day we have the following stats collated to the question: Do you believe Guru Nanak was a Muslim?

Yes = 13%
No = 71%
Maybe = 14%
I don't know = 2%

BUT, we need to get more people voting.
REMEMBER: This could be the first statistical analysis attempted on this subject, so it will be a good precedence to set, insha'Allaah. Please let everyone know and get them to vote, if not for anything else then at least on this point.

wa salaam
 
The 'I don't know' button on the website isn't working. That might explain why there are only 2 votes for it.

The problem is that I found this out by pressing some of the other buttons which might have messed up the votes a little bit. :embarrass
 
:sl:

I was told he was but now I'm even more confused than ever lol. So at this point I'd probably say "I don't know."

Yea that I don't know option doesn't work..
 
Apologies.

External interference it seems! We're sorting that out now. Insha'Allaah it should be back up soon.

JazakAllaahu khairan for the heads up.

wa salaam
 
i was told he was a very crafty fella who took bits of Hinduism and bits of Islam to come up with Sikhism

Allah knows best
 
The poll is back up alhamdulilaah.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Please go ahead and vote.

Jazakumullaah khairan

wa salaam

It doesn't really make a difference if Guru Nanak was a Muslim or not. It doesn't prove anything.

Who said the brother is doing the survey to prove anything? He is doing the survey to see how much misconceptions are present regarding Guru Nanak among people.

Surely there is point behind doing such things. I mean I see no point in that survey, what exactly is the brother trying to get at.

you dont see any point because maybe you are blind? Such excuses do not strengthen your argument.
 
Asalaamu 'alaikum,

Moabubaker, firstly, the obvious point of this survey (as is the case with any survey conducted) is to acquire a rough understanding of what people in the world hold to in terms of ideas, perceptions, prejudices, leanings, judgements, etc.
In regards to the question, it has been thrown out there, so to speak, in order to gauge people's perceptions vis-a-vis Guru Nanak's alleged Muslim identity.
Why are we doing this you might ask? Since the inception of our website in 2006, we have received almost a dozen emails from MUSLIMS sincerely inquiring into whether Guru Nanak was a Muslim (and asking us to clarify this to them). Moreover, our own research has shown that there are Muslims who hold that Guru Nanak was, in some respect, a Muslim.
Thus far, what the survey points to is a trend which suggests that the majority do not consider Nanak a Muslim. And yet there seems to be a combined percentage that seem unconvinced that Nanak was not a Muslim.

Wa salaam

Neither does yours, maybe you could've put together a constructive answer instead of just calling be 'blind'. I don't see how you reached to that conclusion.
 
mad_scientist... U've got to chill bro.. Can't go out there calling someone 'blind'...

But anyway, back at the topic...


Is it true that Nanak was at Saudi Arabia (Mecca) at one point in his lifetime?

Because you yourself that "you dont see the point." When someone does not see something, it could be:
1- His eyes are closed and is blind
2- There is nothing to see.

You have to prove that its not 1 in order to strengthen your contention that 2 is the case here with brother Islam-sikhism.

I appreciate your sincerity. But he cannot go around calling people's polls "pointless." can he? Especially when its such an amazing dawah project. I love this project because I can relate to it. My ancestors were Sikh and some of them were guided to Islam by Allah (swt), way back in time. Thats why I would not like irrational insults hurled at the project.

To realize the importance of this initiative, watch this video how a Sikh man is spreading lies about Allah (swt) and calling us Muhammadi.
