Why is Sikhism a better religion ? Im not converting or anythin but one of my close buddies an muslim and we always have debates on whats right and wrong in religions! Can you guys give me some valid points on why sikhism is better thanks in advance !

SIKHISM IS A RELIGION WHICH HAS LOVE OF GOD AS FOUNDATION FOR HUMAN BEINGS UNLIKE ISLAM WHICH START WITH FEAR OF GOD. MUSLIM PEOPLE BELIEVE MOHD. WILL TESTIFY FOR HIS FOLLOWERS ON JUDGEMENT DAY IN FRONT OF GOD(IF EVEN MOHD. DIDN'T KNEW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN). IN 1699 WHEN GURU GOBIND JI CREATED KHALSA HE CALLED WAHEGURU KA KHALSA NOT HIS OWN KHALSA AND GURU JI GOT AMRIT FROM HIS OWN FOLLOWERS. SIKH GURU'S HAVE GIVEN A PATH A WAY OF LIFE WHICH SAYS"MANAS KI JAAT EK PECHANBO" NOT LIKE MOHD. WHO DOESN'T FOLLOW ISLAM JUST KILL HIM OR TAX HIM WITH JAZIYA.

This kind of question as posed by the OP is a very low-level way of looking at things. Not that I'm saying I've ascended to the higher echelons of contemplation ( :lol2: ) but when you've spent even a considerably meagre amount of time trying to gain an understanding of God (through naam simran, truthful living, etc) the aim for the individual is always to: a) connect to God, b) to remain connected and not break that link, then trying to reel of a list of positives and negatives as if trying to decide what car to buy simply doesn't work when attempting to describe the feeling obtained from following a spiritual path.

Sikhi is not a list of bulletpoints that can be followed which then results in the objective being reached. You must consume yourself in "the way" in complete totality. There must be no room for umming and ahhring. Then let the doubt-creators and the rabble-rousers fight amongst themselves about who is top dog.

The best reply to someone such as a Muslim trying to ascertain why Sikhi is being followed should be the look on your face. If he sees peace, contentment, and a big heart then he knows he's onto a losing battle from the outset. If he sees doubt and insecurity he has a foothold and he can begin his shenanigans.

Go read the history of Taksal thread. If that doesn't fill your heart with the desire to kick-on and devote yourself to Sikhi then I don't know what will. You'll feel inadequate and a total failure when reading but keep going on.

Both you and your muslim friend are naive to think you both know your religion so well that you can stop to judge anothers. How about you concentrate on your life, following Sikhi and tell your muslim friend to concentrate on his. Its not about which is better or worse. And how can any man be a judge of that? Only Maharaaj himself can be the judge of that. And its not the religion that will be question or judged when you die but it will be you as an individual. So whether you follow Sikhi or Islam, they are both guides for you as an individual to gain salvation.
Why argue/debate over such little crappy <banned word filter activated>? Channel your energy into something better like errm say Simran?

And Gurdeep Singh, what bakwaas are you going on about paji?! Instead of telling the kid to not to debating about such meaningless potentially damaging arguements, you publically post more bakwaas. The actions of a people can not be held to determine the teachings of the prophet Mohammed or Islam.
Also Dasam Pita says "Manas ke jaat sabe eke pehchaanbo".

Spread peace and love. Lifes too short to be creating hatred.

Sikhism does not need to be compared to islam or hinduism.

It is a 'Way of life' that is better than both.

The whole idea was that it took us away from all the faults and empty ritual practices in other religions.

Like I say, It is a way of life.

We have dumbly gone and classed it as a religion because we have a look and a book like the others.

But we don't have no book, it is the Shabad Guru- The actual words of Lord Guru given to us over the space of a few hundred years.

    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
    • Anyone know how to tie this turban? My Nani's dad tied it, it was starched but i can't work out whether the pooni was kenyan orpunjabi (like folded or an actual pooni). This was very common before partition, and uses a single dastar (not double stitched). Is it js Kenyan pagg with a higher larr?
    • It doesn't matter. What the nihangs did 100 years ago has no relevance today. Because people fight differently now. As a karate black belt, 90% of what we learn is useless, cos it revolves around how people fought 100 years ago. Today, most teenage boys likely to cause fights (at least in the uk) do boxing. But when boxing was really popular, people used to throw punches, hence why the "man to man fist fight" image was there. But now that UFC is popular, people do all sorts like grappling, knees and all (even with no training).  And also, I highly doubt anyone ever attacked a nihang Singh unarmed back then, just by seeing their saroop with shastaraan. What they did do, however, was Loh Mushti but that was more of a sport than a combat system. They definitely would have trained in basic fighting like wrestling and strikes but not a system. Because any good fighter knows that trying to find a "code" to fight by is stupid. But in terms of unarmed fighting, it was rare and probably revolved around disarming an armed attacker (do NOT even attemp to learn that, you will get killed and there's no point even trying to learn).   If you're interested for historical/ preservation purposed then great, but if you want to learn it for self defense or fighting tactics then pls don't, because what worked then won't work now and Nihangs were probably quite limited in hand to hand combat training cos they're armed to the teeth, deterring any unarmed attacker and killing one if they tried to fight
