Sikhism

Guru Nanak was not decietful. He was wearing the garbs that are thought by muslims to be of the kind muslims wear. So perhaps that is why he was 'allowed' in. BTW - Do people stand their looking at passports to allow entry into Makka - The fact remains he entered Makkah and created the miracle of the revolving Makkah!

Just because we respect a person does not make it wrong to question what he practices and what he preaches, especially if it's contradicting!

So in the case of Mohammed it's 'Do as i say not as i do'
:sl:
So he just happened to go somewhere where he wasn't allowed, whilst looking and acting like the people who were allowed?

I think in the case of Muhammad it's 'Do as Allah tells you to do, not as he allows me specifically to do'. If a shop worker told a customer not to go in the room behind the counter, despite the fact that he went in there himself, does that mean that he is a hypocrite? No.

:sl: bro

We do like to sing praises of allah, but we also like bringing people to the true path of Allah in our eyes. You obviously dont think this is true so fair enough, but since this is an islamic forum, and we want to spread the teachings of islam to others, and since these other sikh bros came onto this forum, they are bound to be given da'wah

What dawah? Is this to bring us into the fold? Well it's not going to happen, as i follow my true relgion! :)

How was he not allowed if it's noted he was lying with his feet towards the Kabba!

Fact is the Kuran speaks of many messengers to have come before Mohammed and many more to come after. It's the Kuran that states this not me. If you don't believe what the Kuran says then you're not following Islam!

People can distort Sikhism anyway they feel, but it shall remain as pure as the day God started it via Guru Nanak Dev Ji! :)

Pointing your feet towards the Kaaba can be considered disrespectful in some Middle-Eastern countries.

what I mean is, he got in without permission. If you got into somewhere without permission, knowing full well that you were breaking the rules, is that not dishonest?

If you do not give evidence for this claim, and provide it with verse numbers and the number of the Surah, then you are acting suspiciously. If you do provide a quote, along with a surah number and a verse number, and it's not in the translation of the Quran that is sitting on the desk in front of me, then you are either a liar or deluded enough not to check your facts. And about the last comment about not following Islam, congratulations! If you don't provide any proof, you are now in my hall of shame, for falsely accusing almost every Muslim of commiting kufr! And unlike yoke, who didn't know much about Islam, you will stay there a lot longer.

How am I distorting Sikhism? I'm only using the facts that you and other Sikh sources gave me. If my arguments are wrong, that's not my fault, and I am human and make mistakes. But I am not trying to lie or distort anything, as that is not the Islamic thing (or the right thing in any circumstance) to do.

Haha, you think we are distorting sikhism, and you're the one claiming that there will be messengers after Muhammad (upon him be peace).

Good job.
 
:sl:
Since Muhammad (pbuh) was infallible, he was allowed to have more than four wives, because he definitely wouldn't have abused them. The rest of us are not infallible prophets, so we are only allowed less than four wives as a compromise.
As for the prostitutes, Muhammad was helping them out, by taking them out of their horrible profession and putting them into a good, happy household, where they wouldn't need to sell themselves anymore.

And if you respect Muhammad (pbuh), then why are you acusing him of being a hypocrite? And the issue of how Guru Nanak got into Makkah still isn't solved. But, as I said before, we can solve it logically:

Problem: was Guru Nanak a true prophet?
Fact 1. Guru Nanak was not a Muslim, and never considered himself one.
Fact 2. Entry to Makkah has been illegal for Non-Muslims ever since Muhammad took the city.
Fact 3. Guru Nanak entered Makkah.
Because it was illegal for non-Muslims to get into Makkah, then Guru Nanak must have done something deciteful to enter.
Fact 4. Sikhs consider a true prophet to be sinless.
Fact 5. Decite is a sin in Sikhism.
Fact 6. Guru Nanak comitted decite when he entered Makkah.
from this we can conclude that Guru Nanak was not a true prophet, because he did something which is deciteful, and decite is a sin in Sikhism.

Just so all of you know, there is a difference between an insult and an argument. If I were to say 'Guru Nanak was a false prophet', that would be an insult. But if I were to say 'Guru Nanak was a false prophet because of such-and-such', that is not an insult, it's an argument. If I were to make something up completely, like the Christians do with the 'Allah-Moon God' thing, that would be an insult. But I am just using what I have learnt from you, which I assume is true, unless you are lying to me, which is not likely.
:w:


also bro that verse came after he had his wives, but Allah instructed him not to divorce his, as it wouldnt be fair!

Same with the verses that condemn wine and gambling. The muslims used to drink all the time, and Allah waited until their hearts were filled with Islam before banning all alcoholic drinks.

If you scan through this thread ALL quotes/verses surah etc etc are provided you just have to read through it as i have no intention of repeating myself!

This was directed at you. I meant people in general try to distort Sikhi as it's a threat to their own beliefs, your teachers site for example and many more can be found on the net!
 
Define 'believe in Prophet Muhammad'? We respect him but no way aknowldege him to be the last of the messengers! To Sikhs other prophets are of no relevance to us. We respect them but do not follow them!

As for muslims respecting Guru Nanak ji, you'll have to ask the learned ones not the fundamentalist for their views.

Sikiwiki works fine...


You believe him to be a prophet, therefore you must believe the following

Fact One. He is honest, and never lied before given revelation, all the people in Mecca called him the Truthful One. So its logical to assume that after given prophethood he would be even more carefuil not to lie, so everything he said is 100% truth

Fact Two He says the Qur'an is the word of God. We have already estabilished he would not lie (See Fact One)

Fact Three Allah says in the Qur'an Muhammed PBUH, unlike the rest of us, has no free will, and does everything by the will of Allah, and doesn't even speak without his permission, so everything he says must be from God. It is now estabilished everything he spoke in normal conversation was divine, as it wasn't said without the permission of Allah, and the Qur'anic revelation were the words of Allah, i hope you are agreed so far AvarAllahNoor!

Fact Four Muhammed PBUH said he is the last of the prophets

Fact Five Allah SWT in the Qur'an says Muhammed is the seal of the prophets and no more Prophet/messenger will come

Fact Four and Five all prove Muhammed is the last Prophet PBUH. Of course these facts are all based on the assumption you believe Muhammed PBUh is a prophet. If you believe he is a Prophet, you should believe facts one to five, and acknowledge him as the last Prophet, if you don't beleive facts four or five, then surely you don't acknowlege him as a prophet

If you don't agree with facts four or five, and yet you still believe Muhammed PBUH to be a Prophet, then explain to me which of the 5 facts you disagree with
 
As for muslims respecting Guru Nanak ji, you'll have to ask the learned ones not the fundamentalist for their views.

...

Sorry, but you are extremely deluded if you think only us unscholarly muslims don't believe nanak to be a guru or prophet. Its nothing about us being fundamentalists, its about followuing our religion. the following have been answered by scholars


Some people claim that the Sikhs actually believe in Islam. Is this true?

Was Guru Nanak a Prophet of God?
 



Read my reply to Fishman

Where did he say that? He's referring to people who don't understand it!

I know my religion!



Unbreakable was replying to you if i'm not mistaken. He was telling me not to take your word for it or something, as you had been telling me incorrect information on Sikhism. Re-read his posts when he re-enetered the thread

But you more than respect him, you told me you think he is a prophet

Not once, this is an outrageous lie. Not once does it suggest another Prophet is to come after this. Proove it, and don't cop out of this one, i have been followng the whole thread and not once did you bring any apparent verses showing Allah said more Prophets are to come. I can't believe you have stooped to making such disgraceful lies. Bring me an ayyah that even suggests it, PLEASE!

All these links you've provided are based on a muslims point of view. It means nothing :)

:sl:
All of our posts are biased towards Islam, does that mean that they mean nothing? And all the sites you post are biased towards Sikhs, does that mean that they also mean nothing?

And you have not provided both a good answer to the thing about Makkah, nor a quote from the Quran that implies that there will be prophets after Muhammad (pbuh).

I'll try the Makkah thing again:

If secretly entering a place where you have no permission mean that you commit decite, and Guru Nanak entered a place where he had no permission to go, then he has commited decite. It's as logical as that, and you can only disprove it by proving that:
a) It's not deciteful to sneak into places where you have no permission to go;
or b) Guru Nanak didn't go to somewhere where he had no permission to go.
:w:
 
Here's another false claim...

Fact is Sikhism is the 73rd sect of Islam.As per prophecy which will be coming true soon only one 'muslims' with black turban will survive rest will die in a Great battle(Source from Sunni sects). So we are that one.

Can a Sunni explain this?

:sl:
I don't understand what this means, what is ''one 'muslims' with black turban will survive''? As far as I know, Muslims who wear black turbans are usually the descendants of the Prophet (pbuh).

Also, what was the source for this claim?

Nothing secret/deceptive/dishonest about it!

It is true that Guru Sahib Ji was dressed as a hajji and where ever he went they would have discourses with the local mullas and holy people and all were one in the opinion that Guru Maharaj Ji was an exceptional person of God. The Sheikhs and mullas were much impressed with Guru Sahib Jis knowledge and insite, so I do not see a problem with Guru Ji walking into Mecca unopposed. Guru Ji didn't decieve or tell lies.

Also,

The Kaaba is now closed off with a building that surrounds it, and you get in by some tunnel (where thousands of people annually suffocate or get trampled upon), in the olden days the whole area would have been open and access to the main kaaba area would be quite easy. So all Guru Sahib Ji had to do was just walk in. Muslims, revered him

“I have appeared in this age to indicate the way unto men. I reject all sects, and only know one God, whom I recognise in the earth, the heavens, and in all directions.”

Are you aware of ''Sheikh Bahlol Dana (the Wise) and of Sheikh Muhy-ud-din Abdul Qadir Jilani''? If not, i suggest you look it up and you'll see what Guru Nanak was percieved to be by muslims!
