There is no rival power to God as in Islam's Satan. How can there be any power opposed to God? Sikhi doesn’t believe that Waheguru created some “evil force” (Satan) that misled Adam and Eve to eat an apple and then took over hell. This is pure nonsense as it implies that Satan (created by Waheguru) could not be controlled or destroyed and became so powerful that Waheguru Himself was unable to liberate His creation (hell) from Satan.

What was creation created from? All that existed was God so what is the source of creation? It has to be God. God Himself is in His creation and that is why it functions. It is God’s power and his presence in creation that is the source of the miracle of the Universe where everything is in such order.

What is pure and what impure? To God nothing is pure and nothing is impure. Animal excreta are used for burning when dried, and as manure it is spread over fields, which is absorbed by the plants whose fruits and crops we eat. Once we eat this, we excrete this back out. So God’s cycle is the nitrogen cycle as you read in science. We breathe nitrogen, excrete nitrogen, and that nitrogen goes into the soil, which goes into the plants and those plants we eat again. So what is excrement and what is impure? If you think excreta are impure then you shouldn’t eat crops, fruits or even drink water, which is full of animals and organisms’ excreta. For a Sikh the source is God and everything merges back in God.

The muslim buries his dead. What happens to the body? It decomposes and returns to the soil whence it came from. That soil is used by the animals and plants to soak up the nutrients to make them grow tall and strong. It is the same goat or chicken that the muslim so readily sacrifices infront of God and eats with relish, so where is the purity and where is the impurity?

God is all pervading, He is the fisherman and He is the fish. A very difficult concept to understand but once understood then all barriers come down then there is no us and them, there is no believer and non-believer, there is no faithful and kafir, we are all the same, all Gods children , we need to love one another for we all have the same divine light within us.

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Siree Raag, First Mehla, Third House:
Among Yogis, You are the Yogi;
among pleasure seekers, You are the Pleasure Seeker.
Your limits are not known to any of the beings in the heavens, in this world, or in the nether regions of the underworld. ||1||
I am devoted, dedicated, a sacrifice to Your Name. ||1||Pause||
You created the world,
and assigned tasks to one and all.
You watch over Your Creation, and through Your All-powerful Creative Potency, You cast the dice. ||2||
You are manifest in the Expanse of Your Workshop.
Everyone longs for Your Name, but without the Guru, no one finds You.All are enticed and trapped by Maya. ||3||

If Allah created earth then did he not create everything that exists in the earth including excreta, alcohol and wine? Why is it that that which is considered haram on Earth is given as a reward in paradise? Wine is not allowed on Earth yet in islam paradise it is given as reward.

Sikhism is given a clear "Theo-democratic" system of law. For example Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the Tenth Master, in his farsightedness knew that not all crimes are the same and thus no one punishment can be given for them all: does the thief who steals bread due to hunger receive the same punishment as one who steals a car due to greed? No! Thus Guru Ji said:

"The Khalsa is my true form, I abide within the Khalsa"

Guru Ji gave power to decide these things to the Khalsa in the form of the Panj Piaaray (5 initiated selected Sikhs). The Panj Piaaray look at each case and then give a case-by-case decision. There are no blanket amputations for everyone as some religions may prescribe. There are rehitnaamas and tankhahnamas (edicts and codes of conduct) dictated by Guru Gobind Singh Ji that clearly outline what is right and what is wrong.

For example, adultery is a 'bujjar kurehat', a cardinal sin, for which a Sikh is excommunicated from the Panth (community) and if they wish to become a member of the Panth again, they must then present themselves before the Panj Piaaray to be re-initiated and given corrective measures. Even beyond the rehitnaamas and tankhaahnamas, there is the concept of Miri-Piri: temporal and spiritual aspects to Gurmat, i.e. a theo-political system.

Guru Hargobind Sahib ji gave us the Sikh parliament of Sri Akaal Takhat. The Sarbat Khalsa (entire Khalsa) is the parliament and the motions passed are called "Gurmattas". A system of passing gurmattas is carried out by consulting Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji and then voting on each motion. The Five Takhats are the Centers of Sikh power with the main headquarter being Sri Akaal Takhat. The Five Jathehdars (representatives) are the "cabinet" of the Panth and organise the Panth's movement. The Jathehdaar of Sri Akaal Takhat (Amritsar) has power as spokesperson of the Panth. Akali Baba Phoola Singh, for example, was Jathehdaar during Maharaja Ranjit Singh's time and gave him punishment of a fine and a caning due to his adultery. Thus it is clear that Sikhism does have a law in Rehitnaamas and tankhahnamas along with the Rehit (code of discipline), which is given during Amrit Sanchaar (initiation ceremonies). Local decisions are to be taken by Panj Piaaray, which can be appealed to the Takhats, and Sri Akaal Takhat takes final decisions. The collective Sikh parliament is Sarbat Khalsa and motions are called Gurmattas.

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions by some muslims.

• How much tax should I pay in a Sikh State, as a Non-Sikh?

Sikhs do not believe in a Jaiziya system like the Muslims where non-Sikhs must pay to ensure their protection. This question therefore is moot. Sikhs regard all people as equal so the need to tax a certain section of people just because they follow a different path does not arise. The taxation system in a Sikh state is the same for non-Sikhs and Sikhs.

• What is the ruling in Sikhism regarding testimony in a court?

A Sikh is to always speak the truth. Unlike in Islam where the testimony of one man is equal to a testimony of four women, also look up the phrase al-Taqiyaa which gives Muslims a blanket cover to lie, a man’s testimony is equal to a woman’s testimony

• What is the ruling in Sikhism regarding the sentence for stealing?

Depends on the nature of the crime and how it was committed and why. The answer is given by the Panj Pyaaray based on each case. This is a stark contrast to default amputations of limbs.

• What is the ruling in Sikhism regarding the age of maturity?

Each person matures at a different rate. If there is a need to determine this, the question is brought to the Panj Pyaaray.

• What is the ruling in Sikhism regarding my relations with my neighbour?

Sikhism teaches to treat all humans with kindness and compassion be they your neighbour or anyone else. There is no unbeliever, there is no unfaithful, there is no kafir, we all children of the one Almighty so respect should be given to all.

• What is the ruling in Sikhism regarding how I should treat an animal?

Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee teaches,

“Show kindness and mercy to all life and realize that the Lord is pervading everywhere; this is the way of life of the enlightened soul, the supreme swan. ||7||” (Ang 508)

• What is the ruling in Sikhism regarding lawful earnings?

Sikhs are taught to earn their living through honesty without infringing on the rights of anyone else. One of the fundamental principles of Sikhism is “kirat karo” or to earn an honest living. Eating food earned through cheating is equal to eating the carcass of a dead animal (Ang 15). Furthermore, earnings should be shared with others and the Sikh system of Dasvandh or 10% of all income being donated is mandatory on all believers.

“Through hard work make your earnings and eat, and also give something to others from your hand. Such a person has found the true path” (Ang 1245).

• What is the ruling in Sikhism regarding riding a horse?

What need would there be for a “ruling” on such a trivial issue? Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is concerned with the salvation of the soul and light of God. God has blessed humans with common sense and intellect. Riding horses etc. are mundane issues that simple human intellect can resolve.

• What is the ruling in Sikhism if I use a nuclear weapon?

What is the Islamic ruling? This is a plainly foolish question.

As you can see, Sikhism is a complete and rational way of life. Each situation is judged on its merits as opposed to blanket amputations for some crimes.
