    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    If there is only ONE Almighty then surely similarity or unity is the best, if not the fastest possible way to get there? Why choose difference if the Almighty chooses otherwise?

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    lalihayer writes: "You can't keep you[r] feet in two boats. It has to be Gurmat or Quran." Is this statement not another example of the presention of a false dichotomy as an inevitable choice? Clearly, in the teachings of both the Quran and Gurmat there is mention of other faiths and God's...

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    Dear Dalsingh, Thank you for the last post. You have asked a number of additional questions that are not directly related to the theme of Sikh-Muslim Marriages. I suggest that you start a new thread in another section (maybe one that is related to interfaith dialogue) where I will be happy to...

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    Dear Kds1980 & Dalsingh, Many Thanks for the postings. In his last posting kds1980 writes: " religious texts could be interpreted in many ways". I agree. If you identify "religious texts" with revealed Scripture like the Quran then the extraction of meanings are diverse and not dependent on...

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    Dear kds1980, Thank you for the Quranic references. As you can see for yourself in plain English, the Quran expressly stipulates that the marriage to "unbelievers" is prohibited. As the Sikhs are not among the Mushrikin or "polytheists" (Sikh Dharma strictly rejecting polytheism) this verse is...

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    Dr. Khalsa, Thank you for your kind comment : "I think Dalsingh is refering to Shariah Law when he was making statement and not Holy Quran." But if you re-read Dalsingh's posting he does mention the Quran and not the Shariah in relation to Sikh-Muslim marriages [ He writes :"Please take some...

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    Dear Dalsingh Ji, Sat Sri Akal, Your last comment [above] was: `Please take some time to explain why a Muslim women marrying a Sikh is forbidden by the Quran? Also why Islamic law sanctions murder for Islamic people who have converted to other faiths Nadeem' Before answering your question...

    Islam Equality Of The Sexes

    Dear aad0002, You last comment is as follows: "The path to satgur is felt not analyzed, and happens in the heart not the head" The true path to Satgur is indeed through the heart and not the head but the heart is a deep ocean that contains every form and all symbols. The symbolism of veiling...

    Love As The Greatest Unifier

    Guru Nanak was the Apostle of Love:- "Realise your unity with all. Love God. Love God in man. Sing the love of God. Repeat God’s Name. Sing His glory. Love God as the lotus loves water, as the bird Chatak loves rain, as the wife loves her husband. Make divine love thy pen and thy heart...

    Unification And Naam Japna

    What is the highest remembrance? Not this or that 'thing' - not even the safeguarding of religion. The highest remembrance belongs to God. In times of stress or religious antagonism, hatred for others or hatred from others - only one Name can save us and that is the Name of God. 'Bhaj mann mere...

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    “There is no lustral water like unto knowledge.” Bhagavad Gîtâ The purity of knowledge destroys all ignorance at its root. Sikh-Muslim marriages, like Sikh-Hindu marriages or Muslim-Hindu marriages are 'anathema' to some members of each religion. Some Muslims do not approve of them, some Hindus...

    Is Sikh Philosophy Only For Sikhs?

    kaur-1 claims that upon reading my various postings "there is NO sign of learning or asking question in relation to learning about Gur Sikhi". I am wondering if Kaur-ji really believes this statement or if she actually thinks a non-Sikh can really attempt to understand Sikhism while they are...

    Islam Sikh-Muslim Marriages

    The way I see it is that each community has built a protective wall around itself so that members of "other communities" are always perceived as "outsiders". Each community wants to be the "Best" offering the "only true path". Any genuine respect and love for communities "other than our own" is...
