[QUOTE="Rajs, post: 2196, member: 327"] Re: "Na koi hindu na koi mussalman" - Guru Nanak Dear etinder, “He was to remind them that all the messengers and the prophets in history came only to lead people to the right path. These messengers never considered themselves belonging to one group. They were for all. It were the people who created a new group. Guru Nanak really did the right thing when he declared that he was neither a Hindu nor a Mussalman. Certainly that was not a denial of Islam or Hinduism. That was only a declaration that even those who called themselves Muslims were not really Muslims judged by the standards of their own religion. Nor was there a Hindu found in the world as he ought to be.” - Mushirul Haq Mr. Haq’s explanation on Guru Nanak’s statement concludes that, a Hindu is not following Hinduism as he/she should; and a Musalman is not following Islam as he/she should. Furthermore, he implies that Guru Nanak did not “create a new group" (i.e., Sikhism) but people did! Here are few other explanations rendered by various sources advocating Sikhism: "There is no Hindu and no Musalman." This meant that there was no difference between man and man. (But some interpret that both Hindus and Muslims had forgotten the precepts of their religions). ([URL='http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/']www.allaboutsikhs.com[/URL]) Guru Nanak Dev further said, "There is no Hindu, no Musalman", implying that the dividing lines between the creeds are unreal and false. So men must come under a sole universal creed, wherein lies no scope for the sectarian discord. ([URL='http://www.sikh.net/']www.sikh.net[/URL]) "There is no Hindu, no Musalman", meaning thereby that man is spiritually one. He cannot be divided on the basis of religion. ([URL='http://www.sikhstudies.org/']www.sikhstudies.org[/URL]) The first message of Guru Nanak, “There is no Hindu, no Musalman; we are equal humans and are all loved by God,” ([URL='http://www.sikhism.com/']www.sikhism.com[/URL]) From the above quotes, we can deduce that Mr. Haq’s explanation is a personal opinion and does not quite agree with the explanation rendered by quoted sources, which seem to imply that Guru Nanak did not identify people with their religious belief. It is often stated that Guru Nanak started a “universal” religion, Sikhism, which is tolerant of other faiths; and considers all faiths to be equal, i.e., many paths leading to same destination. But, if Guru Nanak DID NOT agree with categorizing people according to religious belief then how can he be the founder of a new religious belief - Sikhism? Regards Rajs [/QUOTE]
