existence of God. Unlike Islam, Sikhism does not order killing of
such persons but does advise to avoid their company. 316 “Shun the
company of sakat, keep him at an arm’s length”(GGS p. 1371). 317
12. According to Islam association of Muslims with non-Muslims
is not desirable. “Let not the believers take disbelievers for their
friends in preference to believers” (HQ 3:28,118.60:13,4:140)
The Sikhs are advised to avoid the company (sangat) of evil people
who intentionally set out to mislead and take one away from the path
of righteous living. Otherwise they are expected to mix with
everybody irrespective of caste, creed, country or way of life and to
respect all religions.
13. The tribes of Uraina and Ukl had their hands and legs cut off,
their eyes gouged out and no water was given to them. They died a
slow and painful death. (SB 577)
Whatever the extent of enmity, Sikhism does not sanction such
treatment. Guru Gobind Singh blessed Bhai Kanhaya when the latter
offered water and assistance to the fallen enemy in the battlefield.
The Guru also instructed him to treat the wounds of the enemies
from then onwards.
“The True Guru has no anger or vengeance and preaches the same.
He looks upon son and enemy alike. He helps in removing faults and
mistakes and thus purifies the human body”(GGS 960) 318
14. “One should not pray (a) When the sun is rising (b) When the
sun is setting, (c) When the sun is at its Zenith, (d) After Asr prayer
till the sun sets (e) After Fajr prayer till the sun rises” (The Muslim
Prayer Book by B.A. Rafiq page 28). The reason is that the sun rises
between the two sides of the head of the Devil (or Satan) (SB 494
V.4 B.54)
316 Killing of Kafirs is mentioned many times in the Holy Quran (see sura Tauba 1:5, Sura
Tehrim and Sura Anfal) “Slay them wherever you find them”(HQ2: 191). In his book
‘Understanding Islam Maulana Moududi writes ‘where there’s no Imam, there is no Islam.
Where there’s no Islam, there is Kufr” (Page 20). Kafirs will burn in fire for ever (HQ3:117)
317 Kabir sakat sang na keechaee doorah jaeeay bhag” (GGS Page 1371)
