Brother, why not end your post as above? You rebutted the other forummer's arguments with some solid answers that - to my knowledge - cannot be disputed.

When you go off on one of your Aisha & Mohammed cut-and-paste sprees it puts people off from reading the decent stuff you reply with. You're doing yourself a huge disservice. Just a suggestion.

I agree with you, he goes to much into one detail anyone mentions Muhammad, when he could post more relevant and important stuff.

He is just as enthusiastic. As is nearly every poster here. Gurbani is a vast ocean of knowledge, it isn't restricted to just a few key rivers that we should explore. There isn't an Islamic forum around which would let what we discuss here go by. They would ban it instantly. There are a large variety of topics that correspond to Gurbani.

Our Ancestors fought the Mughals so we could sit here today and talk about these kinds of topics. So we can enrich our own Knowledge of Sikhi and understand why everything happened or is happening. Gurbani is universal and timeless.

The Islamic topic discussed here is presenting Muhammed is a negative light, Almost all Muslim would be unhappy such a discussion is taking place as they perceive him to be perfect.

It is dissection of one of the many facets of his ideology. When Muslims are confronted with it they back away in fear least the perceptions which they have held for life are shattered; especially that sense of elitism that they will be saved from some mythic hellfire.

Yes so we are presenting him in a negative light something Sikhi tells us not to do!?

Read Batchar Natak by Guru Gobind singh Ji. Everything I said about Muhammed is what is there.

Is it true that our 10th Guru ji said we were not to trust them even if they did many thousands of kasams? Something about put your arm in a sack of seasme seeds and how many stick to it thats how many kasams are not to be trusted.

Not to trust the Muslims? I highly doubt that. During the battle of Chamkaur he did warn his Sikhs that we shouldn't trust the words of the invaders as their words were worth nothing. His words proved right when they attacked them as they left Anandpur. However there were Muslims that did aid Guru Sahib as well, such as a muslim ruler (Rai Kalha) I believe whom the Guru Sahib gifted a sword in exchange for his hospitality. Not all Muslims were bad.

Again this is what I know, if someone who's far better at history than me can offer to shed some more light, it would be much appreciated. Our Guru Sahib never went to war against the Muslims. They went to war against the Establishment which was tyrannical and hell-bent on forcing Islam on all. That's why Guru Sahib is referred to as the protector of the helpless. That's why Guru Tegh Bahadur lay down his head to protect those who weren't even a part of his faith, So everyone was free to follow their own path.

It is dissection of one of the many facets of his ideology. When Muslims are confronted with it they back away in fear least the perceptions which they have held for life are shattered; especially that sense of elitism that they will be saved from some mythic hellfire.

I always found the islamic perception of god to be one akin to a naughty child and a father. The naughty child is promised heaven as a means to pacify them into behaving.

strange thoughts on god for me at-least.

Ok now we are on the matter and you have responded in such an calm and respectful way. Clear something up for me once and once for all.

Is it true that our 10th Guru ji said we were not to trust them even if they did many thousands of kasams? Something about put your arm in a sack of seasme seeds and how many stick to it thats how many kasams are not to be trusted.

Was it not them who said leave anadpur and we will leave you alone? Obviously my Sikhi Knowledge is not as vast as others on this "Sikh" forum.

That is found in the Sri Gur Panth Prakash and Giani Gian Singh's Naveen. Both mention Gurbilas Patshahi 10 and Bhatt Vahis being their original source for the quote. The Guru was right because, Qur'an (3:28) - This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to "guard themselves" against danger, meaning that there are times when a Muslim may appear friendly to non-Muslims, though they should not feel that way..

Bukhari (52:269) - "The Prophet said, 'War is deceit.'" The context, though historical, still stands valid for many (Sunni) Muslims today as it is per the Hadith they try to resolve the confusion in the Koran.

I know that muslims can be pretty messed up ppl (belive me i had to deap with these ppl for years growing up) but i cant help but have a grudging respect for tge prophet i mean this is a man who lived in a society where different tribes were constantly warring with eachother. The prophet was able to unite these peoples under one banner and his message is now observed in every continent

lol I can relate. I met some really 2 faced muslims in my time. But I did meet some pretty decent and down to earth ones too. Like it or not but muhammad did achieve a massive amount, I mean he built a cult which I dare say is almost akin to stalin's cult personality.

All cults have an ideological pitfall or pitfalls.

Nothing more than realpolitik. These were tribes starved for profit, rapine and luxury. Something the desert or Arabia could not offer them in large sums. Thus Muhammad played to their sensibilities and formed an ideological alternative; without doubt he would have been well aware of the riches of other lands.

This ideology is very dangerous and hinders human progression. I'll admit that it creeps me out knowing that these guys are gonna be the majority sooner or later. When the clash of civilizations does happen what do you think will happen? What stance will we Sikhs take? Im pretty sure this conflict is inevitable look at the modern history of Lebanon, look at Israel and look at India.

if you were only as enthusiastic in supporting everything else that is mentioned in "guru ki bani" as you are in defending the discussion of this topic!! is it any wonder why Sikhi is going the way it is?! So islam cannot be discussed on a islamic forum so lets allow it on a SIkh forum.

To think that our great grandfathers fought the moguals.

Yet another mole no doubt!!

Have you ever actually read any of my other posts, particularly those that have to do with Muhammad?

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
