Difference Between Islam and Sikhism


Islam and Sikhism are two religions practiced in different parts of the world. They are different in almost everything like customs and practices.

When Holy Quran is the holy book in Islam, it is Guru Granth Sahib in Sikhism. In Islam, it is believed that Gabriel, the angel, was the mediator of God who had revealed Quran to Mohammed. Ten gurus compiled the Guru Granth Sahib, which included passages from Sufis and Hindus.

When there are five pillars in Islam, Sikhism has three pillars. The Five pillars are the duties a believer has to practice in life. They are Salat, Sahada, Zakat, Sawm, and Hajj pilgrimage. The three pillars in Sikhism are Naam Japna, Kirat koro and Vachakko.



Unlike Islam, Sikhism has Five K’s. The Five K’s are Kesh (uncut clean hair), Kangha (wooden comb), Kachera (clean white shorts), Kara (steel/iron bracelet) and Kirpan (long sharp sword).

The teachers in Islam are known as Rasools or Nabis whereas the teachers in Sikhism are called Gurus.

Another difference that can be seen between the two religions is in the observation of pilgrimage. Sikhism does not believe in pilgrimage. On the other hand, people following Islam take out Hajj Pilgrimage.

Another difference that can be seen between Islam and Sikhism is in the funeral. A dead Muslim is buried whereas a dead Sikh is cremated.

When Mecca is the sacred place for Islams, Amritsar is the sacred place for Sikhs. In Sikhism, Gurpurabs are considered auspicious days whereas Eid is an auspicious day in Islam.

Summary
