"By his command souls come into being; by his command glory and greatness are obtained"(Guru Granth Sahib 1).…

Christianity and Islam both lend their religion to a single deity: the Christian God being the loving, redeeming, and just Creator of the Earth, and Islam’s Allah, the just, judgmental, and inspiring god which required His love to be earned by His followers. Both these religions entail prophets, great religious wars, and holy books. Both have spread far across the earth and both have experienced major persecution for their beliefs.

Sikhism is over five centuries old and is followed by over 20 million people worldwide—making it the fifth largest religion in the world. Despite this, it rarely gets any attention here in America, even though there is an estimated 78,000 Sikh adults living here, in America. Sikhism is often described as a mixture of Islam and Hinduism, because it shares many similar traits to both, but many things also make it unique to both religions. Sikhism began over five hundred years ago in present-day Pakistan, in the Punjab region, with Guru Nanak, the first of ten gurus who would teach their philosophy and fundamentals to millions. He lived during a time of great tension between Hindus and Muslims, both very strong religions.…

Islam is a monotheistic faith centered around belief in the one God (Allah). In this regard, it shares some beliefs with Judaism and Christianity by tracing its history back to the patriarch Abraham, and ultimately to the first prophet, Adam. All the prophets preached the same universal message of belief in one God and kindness to humanity. The last in the series of prophets, according to Muslims, was Muhammad. Muhammad was born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia around 570 CE.…
The Theology of Islam is Unitarian Theism is almost like the Christian theism,Unitarian Theism is the belief in one God in one person (Noebel,UTT 52).

A conventional question a stranger inquires about to better understand a newly met stranger is “What religion are you?” For me, I would instantly respond “Sikh”, and then exude a quick smirk staring at my querier who then, with a bewildered look, responds, “You're sick? Feel better, but what religion are you?” In an effort to save speech and time, I simply type in “Sikhism” onto Wikipedia’s homepage and have my newfound friend briskly glance over the first summary paragraph on the webpage. As he or she becomes more aware of Sikhism, I soon delve into explaining this unknown abyss further explaining some of Sikhism’s core philosophies and practices.…
I believe that the three religions should be grouped together as each seems to branch off from the previous religion. Judaism is the oldest of the three and provides a good foundation for the other two. Christianity came second as a branch of Judaism. There are talks of Jesus and Abraham in the Islam religion showing that it is also a branch off of Judaism, however it isn’t tied into Christianity as much. Each of the three religions are monotheistic, they each worship a single god, the same god so it seems.…
Sikhism is generally held to derive from the teaching of the first Guru, Nanak (1469-1539) who taught a doctrine of salvation through Divine Name. His oral versical messages in Punjabi attracted a larger section of people in India because simple Bhakti does not need any external arrangements for God worship.

On the way of Bhakti, Kabir, actually, showed the way of internal peace which is very important for building up an automatic atmosphere of peace processing in a society. During thirteenth to seventeenth century, an emotional and passionate ‘bhakti’ replaced the old approaches of sacrificial rites and monastic meditation.…
