[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 87706, member: 35"] Nam Jap ji I agree that the shabad is of relevance -- for example, [FONT=Tahoma]aval alah noor upaa-i-aa ku[U]d[/U]ra[U]t[/U] kay sa[U]bh[/U] ban[U]d[/U]ay. [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#000080]First, Allah created the Light; then, by His Creative Power, He made all mortal beings.[/COLOR][/FONT] And no In Gurbani, it is true that "alah" may used as the name of God, yet the concept of God in Guruji is different from that in Islam at the same time. Fareed is the bhagat of this shabad. Is Sheik Fareed saying 'alah" to invoke God's [B]name? [/B] Or is he invoking a God who is [B]not part of his creation[/B] along the lines of aku ji's eplanation of [B]name versus idea? [/B]I tend to think Fareed is saying God is in His Creation and that is why the shabad was/is included in the Adi Granth. But that is different from saying that Allah and Parabraham are the same in religious discourse, that Muslims and Sikhs mean the same thing by Allah and Parabraham. Another problem in my humble opinion is the problem of translation. This may be one of the outstanding examples of where English translations mislead understanding.
