A Critical and Analytical Study of the Denial of the Concept of Prophethood in Sikhism

Abstract

This research article sheds light on a critical and analytical examination of the Sikh perspective on the concept of prophethood within the context of Sikhism. Sikhism, a monotheistic and Dharmic religion, offers a unique theological stance that deviates from traditional Abrahamic views on prophethood. The Sikh faith is rooted in the teachings of Guru Nanak and the subsequent Sikh Gurus, with no recognition of prophets in the same sense as found in Islam, Christianity or Judaism. Through an in-depth analysis of Sikh scriptures, historical texts and theological writings, this study aims to explore the reasons behind the denial of prophethood in Sikhism. It investigates how Sikhism views the relationship between humanity and the God and how this impacts the role of prophets. The article also considers the historical and cultural context of the formation of Sikh beliefs and their impact on this theological stance. Furthermore, the research assesses the implications of this unique perspective on interfaith dialogue, particularly in a globalized world where diverse religious beliefs coexist. It raises questions about the compatibility of Sikhism with other religious traditions and highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of Sikh theology in contemporary discussions on religion and spirituality. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the distinct position of Sikhism regarding the concept of prophethood and contributes to a deeper understanding of Sikh beliefs in the broader religious landscape.
