Hello, i am a muslim and i really respect your religion.
but reading about "sikh falling in love" there are many things i do not understand
First of all the message of GURU Nanak DEV JI was that there is ONLY ONE GOD. Sikh call it waheguru muslim call it allah and christian call it jesus. His message was simple and clear we all trying to get to one god whatever your belief is. And Guru Nanak best friend was a muslim Baba Fareed and there was a hindu aswell. And In the guru granth sahib there is not even one sentance that say marrying someone from another religion is a sin or wrong. So how come in todays world a sikh is not allowed to marry a muslim. there is nothing in the guru granth sahib that says that. many sikh take muslim at enemies. i dont blame them for this because of the history. but guru Nanak is one of the biggest guru and we have to follow him so how come today sikh go agaisnt it when some one want to marry a muslim..
WITH NO ARGUEMENT OR DISCRIMINATION I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER
WE ARE ALL EQUAL WHATEVER OUR CAST CULTURE RELIGION IS
WE ALL SHARE RED BLOOD
:yes:
thank you
i hope to hear some ones answer or debate soon
Rightaboutnow ji,
I have recived your message an am only too happy to give you my perception.
As has already been said the manadate for Sikhs to marry only Sikhs is contained in the document of the rehat maryarda, a document compiled by learned Sikhs and given credubility by Akaal Takhat. We must remember that Guru ji has told us that where ever 5 Gursikhs are there you will find Guru ji.
So I will admit that this is a hard one for me, and again perhaps not a popular stance amongst my fellow Sikhs, but personly I have met perhaps two Sikhs that I would be happy calling Gursikhs so the question must be how much should I take from this rehat?
I think that any such edict to not marry outside of our own relgioin is man made, that it's job is to ensure the continuation of the Sikh religion and the creation of lots of little Sikhs.
There are two main things that I wish to say about this. The first one being that there really are no Sikh children, nor for that matter are there any Muslim children, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Neo-Pagan children, or any other faith you care to mention.
Belife in God comes either from indoctrination, or from free choice. Indoctrination is NOT free choice, and so I find it unethical to do such a thing eascpecily to ones own children.
The second thing is that the survial of any relgion is just not important to me, I have my faith and I am well pleased with it and happy to be Sikh.
Before I became Sikh I had already been ,arreid for over 10 years, My wife is atheist, my oldest son is the same and my youngest (almost 14 now) has just declared himself agnostic.
At home we talk(that is my wife and myself) about all kinds of things with the children, I am happy to answer any questions on my faith or any other that my kids ask me. One day perhaps my kids will become Sikh, but that is not in my hands I'll leave that to their own free will and the will of God.
My wife shall always be athist I think. Again this is her choice.
So what is the point of any religoin? Simple to bring the individual closer to God, but only if that individual wants such a thing. I do, my wife does not. I will not gainsay her God given free chioce.
I think that we should all remember this, we are all free, this is garenteed by God, I do not have the right to tell otehrs what to belive or not, nor does any other have the rigth to do the same to me.
