Sikh view of Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, etc.?

[Egyptian Phoenix]

Just wondering, do Sikhs have a specific outlook on teachers prior to Guru Nanak? Specifically Muhammad, Jesus, etc.? Do they view them all as having taught the same message?

[sdad]

The Sikh outlook on teachers prior to Guru Nanak is simple as defined by Guru Nanak: "All paths lead ultimately to god”, but more so he preached being in the presence of saints (any religion), in fact his message effectively said if you are Christian be a good one if you are a Buddhist be a good one etc,
Ultimately the message of Sikhism as I understand it, is down to the individual level, in fact all the Sikh guru's ultimately preached that the Sikhs were to listen to sprit above all else, and that is the same regardless of religion practised. Hope this answers your question....

Welcome Sdad and thanks for your reply


Hi Yosef ,

i feel ,Sikh view of Jesus , Mohammad ....... is unlike the view of their followers .

this difference is due to difference in view of Guru ( Dharmic )AND Prophet ( Abrahmic) , Guru is One With Supereme Lord , my Signature .
Sikh s have no problem in accepting Jesus ,Mohamad as One with BIG ONE as Guru Nanak sahib SAYS in Japji sahib

Hiya Yosef the Heretic ...

Sikhism has no such issues with the existence of Hazrath Muhammad(SAW) or Hazrath Jesus(AS)...infact there are a few verses of praise towards them in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib...

Below is a verse which praises Hazrath Muhammad(SAW) in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib:

I hope this might help ...
