Comments on: Is Da’wah Compulsory? http://www.shahkirit.com/2006/11/25/is-dawah-compulsory/ Explaining Islam Sun, 31 Jul 2011 05:56:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Shah http://www.shahkirit.com/2006/11/25/is-dawah-compulsory/#comment-22709 Shah Fri, 02 Jul 2010 11:28:10 +0000 http://www.shahkirit.com/?p=3#comment-22709 dear Gurveen, I agree that its not easy for a Sikh to convert into Islam, there is usually lots of obstacles from the family/relatives. Nevertheless many Sikhs have embraced Islam and the family members have eventually come to accept their decision. Need to be very patient... If you study the Sikh Holy scripture; Guru Grant Sahib, you will find that the concept of God is identical to that of Islam. Below are few examples; MULMANTRA - Guru Granth Sahib, volume 1 Japuji, the first verse: <strong>Ik Onkar, Sat Naam, Karta Purakh, Nirbhau Nirvair, Akal Murat, Ajuni, Saibham, Gurprasad </strong> "There exists but one God, who is called The True, The Creator, Free from fear and hate, Immortal, Not begotten, Self-Existent, Great and Compassionate." "The Formless Supreme Being abides in the Realm of Eternity" (Guru Nanak, Japji) "He neither has father, nor mother, nor sons nor brothers." (Guru Nanak, Maru) "Burnt be the mouth that asserts, the Lord takes birth. He is neither born nor dies; neither enters birth nor departs. All pervasive is Nanaks Lord." (Guru Arjan Dev, Raga Bhairon) dear Gurveen, I agree that its not easy for a Sikh to convert into Islam, there is usually lots of obstacles from the family/relatives.
