Mohammed’s acquaintance with Islam is closely related to his personal experiences, spiritual journey and encounters with divine revelations. He was born in 570 CE in Mecca and grew up among people who practiced polytheism, tribalism and inequalities. Nevertheless, Muhammad’s search for truth and spiritual fulfillment would ultimately lead him to the last messenger of Islam. This narrative explores the different stages of revelation that shaped Muhammad’s understanding of Islam, beginning from his early childhood until the time he received divine revelations.

Early Life and Influences:The Quraysh tribe belonged to Mecca where they had been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing worship at Kaaba, a holy shrine that housed idols worshipped by pre-Islamic Arabs. Though orphaned at an early age Muhammad lived with his grandfather first then uncle Abu Talib. As a young boy he earned a reputation for honesty, trustworthy and deep thought, which earned him the name “Al-Amin”.

Since his growing years, Muhammad had been exposed to different religious and cultural influences present in Meccan society. The polytheistic belief of the pagans was practiced alongside diluted versions of monotheistic faith inherited from Abraham and Ishmael that were corrupted by idolatry and superstitions. These contrasting world views with which Muhammad grew up would lead him into a path of introspection and spiritual questioning.

The Sikh religion, with its rich history and profound teachings, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of its followers. Rooted in the Indian subcontinent, Sikhism has evolved over centuries, shaped by the visionary leadership of its Gurus and the collective experiences of its community. From its humble beginnings to its emergence as a global faith, the history of Sikhism is a fascinating narrative of resilience, spiritual enlightenment, and social transformation.

Origins and Founding

Sikhism traces its origins to the 15th century in the Punjab region of South Asia, a land known for its cultural diversity and spiritual heritage. The foundation of Sikhism was laid by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, born in 1469 in the village of Talwandi (now known as Nankana Sahib in present-day Pakistan). Guru Nanaks teachings emphasized the oneness of God, equality of all humanity, and the importance of living a life of compassion and righteousness.

The Era of the Gurus

Following Guru Nanak, a lineage of nine successive Gurus guided the Sikh community, each contributing to the development and dissemination of Sikh philosophy and principles. Notable among them were Guru Angad Dev Ji, who formalized the Gurmukhi script and introduced the practice of langar (community kitchen); Guru Amar Das Ji, who institutionalized the concept of equality by establishing the institution of Manji system and Piri-Miri; and Guru Ram Das Ji, who laid the foundation of the holy city of Amritsar and initiated the construction of the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple).

The fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, made significant contributions to Sikh scripture by compiling the Adi Granth, the sacred scripture of Sikhism, and constructing the Harmandir Sahib, which became the spiritual and cultural center of Sikhism. However, his unwavering commitment to truth and equality led to his martyrdom at the hands of Mughal Emperor Jahangir in 1606.

Challenges and Resilience

The early Sikh community faced persecution and oppression under the Mughal rulers due to their refusal to conform to the prevailing religious orthodoxy. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, the sixth Guru, responded by militarizing the Sikh community and establishing the Akal Takht, a symbol of temporal authority and spiritual sovereignty. This marked the beginning of the Sikh tradition of the warrior-saint, embodying the principles of self-defense and righteous resistance against tyranny.

The era of the ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, witnessed further persecution under the reign of Aurangzeb, who sought to forcibly convert non-Muslims to Islam. In a defining moment of courage and sacrifice, Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji laid down his life to protect the religious freedom of Hindus in Kashmir, becoming a martyr for the cause of human rights and religious tolerance.
