No, It was to eradicate the oppression by Muslim rulers of that time.

Asalaamu 'alaikum,

It was not started to eradicate the belief of the Muslims per se, but to eradicate the belief of the Muslims AND Hindus. Guru Nanak rejected the religious systems of both religions and wanted to replace it with his idea of universal brotherhood and equality for all under his notion of religion and practice. To achieve this, he spent around 25 years preaching his message throughout Hindustan and to places as far wide as Tibet and the Middle East (11 years). However, as we shall show in our forthcoming article - insha'Allaah on the militant side adopted by the Sikhs - that this could only really be achieved through the use of force.

As to your second question, then, as far as we know, that is totally fictitious and has no basis in their belief, Allaahu 'alam.

As a closure to this thread, we've published the article for this survey: Was Guru Nanak a Muslim?

Again, jazakumullaahu khairan to all those who participated in the poll.

Wa salaam
