A Guy Came N Aksd Me A Question...

I've also had Muslims try to come and confuse me about my Sikhi. They always bring up is arguments of "logic" to try and confuse you. When you tell them it's your faith, they argue that you should question your faith and don't follow it blindly. Try to ignore these Muslims - they are only after conversion. But if they do persist, respond to them by saying that the reason why you cannot persuade them as to the correctness of your faith is because your Kamayee or understanding of Guru Jee is not strong enough. After all, the weakness is in us, not in the Guru.

The ironic thing is that whenever you question them as to the "logic" of their religion, they always again respond that it's their faith, and they try and change the topic.

Faith is such a thing that it cannot be "proved". It's needs Pyaar and Shardha to be experienced. Those that argue over religion are often filled with Ego to "prove" their point to others.

As regards to the Nail and Hair thing (this is the exact arguments that the Muslims tried to use against me), a scientifically-in-the-know Gursikh told me that nails are dead protein cells, which in normal everyday activity, would fall off. However, Hair is still living, except those that fall off when combing.

sangat great posts, especialy sher punjabi and $T33L-G. its plain and simple. your guru told you to grow your hair, so you do without argument. the guru never said anything about nails.

also, one of my friends said that the guru said "cleansiness is close too godlyness"

we get this ALL THE TIME .. at our university (waterloo).

We had a world religion conference not so while ago and there were more muslims there than any other religion. We were outnumbered .. (also keeping in mind that the program was run by muslim organization).. we had nothing against anyone but some specific muslims were sent out (you can as a set mission) to go around to every different faith and argue wit them about their religion, confuse them and question them...

We played a cool though.. ... but seriously its very funny watching these guys try to do this .. i mean come on .. we do have the blood of our shaheeds from the past :nihungsmile: ...

waheguroooo

Basically because thats what Guruji wants, and guruji doesnt say dont cut nails and we follow guru ji's hukum.

Will take the easiest question...

Why do Sikhs wear a turban...well, if it is a Muslim brother asking that, the response should be why aren't you? Muhammed Sahib is quoted in the Hadiths saying that his community would not falter as long as it wore a turban on its head.

Biblical references:

http://www.searchsikhism.com/turban.html

You will have to do a search for the word "turban" in the following pages:

Citation of Prophet Muhammed being seen with a Turban:

http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/hadith/had07.htm

Citation of the dress of the Irham period. The dress prescribed is different from the normal dress, which is not worn during the time:

http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/hadith/had21.htm

Citation of the Prophet Muhammed with a Turban:

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/h...t.html#002.0531

Prophet Muhammed makes a command in reference to the turban and is seen himself wearing a turban:

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/h...t.html#001.0147

Prophet Muhammed putting on a turban AND tying the turban on his followers:

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/h...t.html#032.4009

I was not able to find the links to the Hadiths referenced in the Dastaar Article referenced first, but the others referenced here should provide enough proof that the Prphet Muhammed himself wore a turban and caused his followers to do so as well.

Today one of them was telling me he knows 2 "former Sikhs" who are now Muslims. All I had to say was that there are enough goray in western countries who have become Sikhs, and did give an impression that I was holding my laugh at all that he was saying.

He then started talking about Punjabi songs
