Re: Was Guru Nanak a Prophet ?
Let's analyze According to Bible is Guru Nanak a prophet or not.
A) In John chapter 14 verse 16: Jesus says"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever." this means Jesus will pray to Father & tell him to give u Another Comforter another means who is the first one that itself is Jesus & the another should also be like hi i.e.Human Being.
B) In Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:Jesus say's "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me." testify means bear witness of Jesus's prophecy.
C) In Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7: Jesus say's "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". it means the comforter only after Jesus goes away.
D) Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:Jesus say's I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall hespeak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me". the spirit that will come he will guide you,not speak of himself * also tell the things to come & glorify Jesus.
The conditions to be met for the prophet are 1.Should be like Jesus i.e. Human being 2. Testify Jesus 3. Should come after Jesus has gone 4. Glorify Jesus,tell new things,shall not speak of himself but say what he hear.
Looking at the conditions above of the Bible Guru Nanak doesn't fit into this prophecy.
According to Quran, Quran says in Al-Ahzab, Chapter 33, Verse-40)
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets. And Allah is Ever All-Aware of everything.
So according to Quran Guru Nanak cannot be an prophet because Sikhism was an Religion founded ny Guru Nanak at the end of 15 century so he came after Muhmmad.
The above all Interpretation was according to the 2 religions as asked by u.Others can have different interpretations
