ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੀ ਇਨਸਾਨੀਅਤ ਅਤੇ ਧਰਮ ਸਿਖਿਆ ਦੀ ਹੋਈ ਸ਼ਲਾਘਾਂ । The praise of the humanity and religious teachings of the Sikhs

Indian poet and journalist, Pritish Nandy, on Twitter


Bertrand Russel was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950 and said the following about Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji & Sikhi: 

“If some lucky men survive the onslaught of the third world war of atomic and hydrogen bombs, the Sikh religion will be the only means of guiding them... the splendid doctrines of their religion, which has come into existence for the benefit of entire mankind.”


Message of Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 1299:
ਕਾਨੜਾ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
kaanaRaa mahallaa panjvaa ||
Kaanraa, revealed through the Fifth Nanak:

ਬਿਸਰਿ ਗਈ ਸਭ ਤਾਤਿ ਪਰਾਈ ॥
bisar gayee sabh taat paraayee ||
My burning jealousy of others (enjoying peace and happiness) has been totally forgotten,

ਜਬ ਤੇ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮੋਹਿ ਪਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jab te saadh-sangat mohi paayee ||1|| rahaau ||
since I found the Sangat (company) of the Holy-Guru. ||1||Pause||

ਨਾ ਕੋ ਬੈਰੀ ਨਹੀ ਬਿਗਾਨਾ ਸਗਲ ਸੰਗਿ ਹਮ ਕਉ ਬਨਿ ਆਈ ॥੧॥
naa ko bairee nehee bigaanaa sagal sang ham kau ban aayee ||1||
(Now,) I see no one as my enemy, and no one is a stranger. I lovingly get along with everyone. ||1||

ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀਨੋ ਸੋ ਭਲ ਮਾਨਿਓ ਏਹ ਸੁਮਤਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਤੇ ਪਾਈ ॥੨॥
jo prabh keeno so bhal maaniyo eh sumat saadhoo te paayee ||2||
(Now,) I accept whatever God does (for all beings) as good. I have learnt this beautiful wisdom from the Holy-Guru. ||2||

ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਰਵਿ ਰਹਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਏਕੈ ਪੇਖਿ ਪੇਖਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਗਸਾਈ ॥੩॥੮॥
sabh mehi rav rehiaa prabh ekai pekh pekh naanak bigsaaee ||3||8||
O Nanak! (Say- since meeting the Holy Company, I now see) the presence of One God is pervading in all; and for this reason I get happy looking and seeing everybody. ||3||8||

The answer to this sister's question is our Guru. The Gurbani given to us by our Gurus and the example set by the lives of the Gurus, is the foundation for the high ideals and humanity shown by the faithful followers of Guru Nanak Sahib Ji.

Below are some of the many stories of Sikhs defending, sheltering and feeding Muslims during anti-Muslim violence in Delhi, putting into practice the teachings of Great Sikh Gurus:
