Sayf Udeen

Hey all; Just a quick post to say thank you for sharing knowledge with me. I am very appreciative. I am seriously here to learn. Please take what I say on facevalue and not question my intentions. I'm off to bed guys. Good night.

I'm guessing people like this are an exception? (I am aware on average human hair gets to a maximum of 90cm) Thank you for the info. So regarding the Turban, does one tuck his hair under it in a certain way?

Hey!! You just joined and you're already picking on her. You're learning fast!! Oh and Live to Love, things are going to change around here now that I am back. I try.

Thank you Peacemaker. Why is that?

Wow. Good concept. Thank you for sharing that with me SonyNeech. Yes, my brother in humanity. But Muslims believe Muhammad (Sulallahu alayhi wasalam) was the last of 124,000 Prophets and 300+ Messengers. The difference between a Prophet and a Messenger is that a Messenger is still a Prophet, but one that bougth forth law to humanity. Hey, is it true or false that Sikh males must have long hair?

*Puts a fork in ♥Live~to~Love♥'s eye* Better? :D Hehehe.

I tend to write that on forums when I'm embarrassed.

There is. Whilst it may not be followed as it should be in some cases it is certainly there though, this goes for any way of life. True, I have assumed someone saying "Salamu alaikum" is Muslim based on that. Maybe Hello is a better option. Oh Thank you for this. Best city on Earth, am I right?

So you do have beliefs on the origins of the universe but they are not to be dwelled on and there is more of an emphasis on bettering what we have been blessed with? The Big Bang theory is also mentioned and noted in the Qur'an. Understood. So while some people choose to leave the religion a lot of things they liked they'll keep thus where culture and religion cross over. Making the culture influenced by the religion rather than the religion influenced by the culture? Good.

Hello Tera and thank you for your answer. So would it be permissable for me to use one to a Sikh I see? Or would that be disrespectful? (Just wondering cos I don't want to do something stupid hehe) Would he/she assume I to am a Sikh? Agreed there is no race but the human race. My apologies. I had no idea what to call it and had read a news article about it earlier in the year in which it was refered to as such. I will refrain from the word "dagger" in future. So you don't change positions during the prayer? Also what does the text on this emoticon mean? :vaheguru: Just incase I wanna use it in my time here.

So Sikhism is heavily cultural? What is the difference between a baptised Sikh and a non-baptised Sikh? Must a practising Sikh be baptised? How is a Sikh baptised? "those working towards it"...is to say there are pre-requisites for baptism? What are they? Same with Prophets on that they were sent to guide mankid where we had gone astray. Thus our [Muslims] beliefs of the unchanged revelations to God's (Subhana wa ta'ala) final messanger the Prophet Muhammad [sulallahu alayhi wasalam), Thanks for the breifing on Guru Nanak Dev Ji. You mean those who do not obtain being one with God are born again here? I'll do that. Thank you. We also Bath before prayers or touching the Qur'an (our holy text). High five for similarities amongst our differences. :D Similar to our du'a. Thank you. From what I know so far Sikhism seems like a very open minded, loving, religion. Whilst our beliefs are miles apart I do respect your faith and thank you all for sharing what you have thus far. Truly learning about all we can in this world will make us better people insha'Allah (God willing).

Oh. *Hides from you*

Thank you for that Sony. Is that how one greets non-Sikhs, though?

Did the Lakers wind up winning?

Thank you for the welcome. I can assume you're female based on "Kaur" in your username? "Veheguroo ji ka khalsa vaheguroo ki ki fateh" is how Sikhs greet each other? What's that mean in English? Thank you in advance. So are there times you must pray? Do you pray outloud? What you have posted. Is this what you say at times of prayer? I'm confused by the intro...is Satriakal for non-Sikhs?

So it's like Muslims greating each other with "Salamu alaikum" (which we don't say to non-Muslims, but acknowledge when they say it to us). Is it permissable for you to say "Satriakal" to non-Sikhs? What is the answer to "Satriakal"? Could I say "Satriakal" to a Sikh I see in the city? Is it all based on personal preference what size Kirpan someone carries? Or is there more to it? (Age, for instance?) Logical thoughts. Islam agrees. Would it be offensive upon meeting a Sikh to ask to see it? Is Sikhism an Abrahamic religion? Do you have Prophets? What do you believe to be the fate of those who lived before Nanak? Do you believe in the hereafter? Do you believe there were Prophets? What is your holy scripture? Are there English translations I could read? Do you attend prayer congregationally or pray alone? When do you pray? How do you pray? (Or acknowlegde God) What is your story of creation? ~BeirutBoy.

Thank you. What is "Satsriakal"? Also my question was more on the significance of these two names. I love the meanings and I'm gathering that the significance of the female last name is to suggest their husbands should treat them as such? There's one thing I hate, and that is the atheist (Don't drill me any Atheists here - I'm not generalising, I just see it regularly. I'm not saying all Atheists think this way) claim that there is no gender equality in religion, when there clearly is. Islam is scutanised for the hijab [veil] blindly for example. So it is great to see an apparent reference to respect for women in Sikhism. Does the man being the lion refer to him being a protector of sorts? Also, is it true males carry daggers? Is this for self defense or as a monument? I saw a pic of the dagger while looking for a forum. It was curved. Thought it looked cool. Sorry if I'm coming off as ignorant, I am here to learn and broaden my horizons so it could be expected in ways. Any Aussie Sikhs here? ~BeirutBoy.

Hello all. So, I'm new. I come from Melbourne, Australia. I'm a proud Muslim, alhamdulillah. But open minded and wish to learn more about the beliefs of others. So the main reason I joined here is because I have a few questions about Sikhism...Mainly surrounding the Turban and the last names. I also wish to get to know Sikhs but am too shy to say Hi when I see them on the street! :umm: Do note, I'm not here to convert or be converted. I'm here to learn. ~BeirutBoy.
