sath shri akal jee.
i am a bit confused about this topic.
My muslim friends say that the Quran is from God, and in the verses of the Quran, God is talking about himself using words as "I" "We" etc.(We is because he is talking about himself in plurioal, to raise himself, the way queens etc does)
for instance:
011.025
YUSUFALI: We sent Noah to his people (with a mission): "I have come to you with a Clear Warning:
006.089
YUSUFALI: These were the men to whom We gave the Book, and authority, and prophethood: if these (their descendants) reject them, Behold! We shall entrust their charge to a new people who reject them not.
etc.. God speaks to Mankind..
but in Sri Guru Granth Sahab, God is being talked ABOUT
Page 2, Line 15
ਜੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਨਦਰਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਤ ਵਾਤ ਨ ਪੁਛੈ ਕੇ ॥
जे तिसु नदरि न आवई त वात न पुछै के ॥
jay tis nadar na aavee ta vaat na puchhai kay.
still, if the Lord does not bless you with His Glance of Grace, then who cares? What is the use?
Guru Nanak Dev -
Page 7, Line 5
ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ਸਿਰਜਣਹਾਰੁ ॥
करि करि वेखै सिरजणहारु ॥
kar kar vaykhai sirjanhaar.
Having created the creation, the Creator Lord watches over it.
Guru Nanak Dev -
Page 7, Line 5
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਚੇ ਕੀ ਸਾਚੀ ਕਾਰ ॥
नानक सचे की साची कार ॥
naanak sachay kee saachee kaar.
O Nanak, True is the Creation of the True Lord.
Guru Nanak Dev -
etc..
so how can the holy Book be the Word of God, since it talks about God. is God Talkin about himself or is someone else?
does the SGGS even claim to be the word of God anywhere?
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
By The Way..the last verse says "O Nanak"..
what does this mean? is it Sri Guru Nanak that is being mentioned? i've read this "O Nanak" Several times before and got confused. i thought that none of the Guru's were names in the SGGS
