Dissertation: Islam & Sikhi - I need a title! Help


Recommended Posts

Vaheguru ji ka khalsa, Vaheguru Ji ki fateh

I am studying BA Religious Studies in UK (2nd year).

I have to hand in a proposed (short and snappy) title and (100 words) outline of the topic for the dissertation which i am going to do by May 9th 2005.

I have chosen my Islam Lecturer as my proposed supervisor... so the topic for the dissertation will have to be something to do with Islam. I really want to do something on Sikhi.

So I thought of doing something on looking at Sufi Islam's similarities and differences with Sikhi.

Focusing on Gurbaani and comparing Bhagat Fareed Ji and Bhagat Bhikan Ji's Baani with the 6 Guru Sahibaans Baani in Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Ideas of Grace (Gur-prasaad) Vs. Effort (udam) to become one with Vaheguru.

Looking at concepts such as "Dargah", "sache paatshaah", "takhat" and "dastaar-bandi" which are concepts used in Sufi Islam which are also used in Sikhi.

Thats the idea i have at the moment.

Anyone else got any ideas? thoughts or suggestions? - i would appreciate it.

This Shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Jap on Pannaa 1

hukmI hovin Awkwr hukmu n kihAw jweI ]

hukamee hovan aakaar hukam n kehiaa jaaee ||

By His Command, bodies are created; His Command cannot be described.

hukmI hovin jIA hukim imlY vifAweI ]

hukamee hovan jeea hukam milai vaddiaaee ||

By His Command, souls come into being; by His Command, glory and greatness are obtained.

hukamee outham neech hukam likh dhukh sukh paaeeahi ||

By His Command, some are high and some are low; by His Written Command, pain and pleasure are obtained.

ieknw hukmI bKsIs ieik hukmI sdw BvweIAih ]

eikanaa hukamee bakhasees eik hukamee sadhaa bhavaaeeahi ||

Some, by His Command, are blessed and forgiven; others, by His Command, wander aimlessly forever.

hukmY AMdir sBu ko bwhir hukm n koie ]

hukamai a(n)dhar sabh ko baahar hukam n koe ||

Everyone is subject to His Command; no one is beyond His Command.

nwnk hukmY jy buJY q haumY khY n koie ]2]

naanak hukamai jae bujhai th houmai kehai n koe ||2||

O Nanak, one who understands His Command, does not speak in ego. ||2||

GuRFATEH!! :nihungsmile:
