Who  is a Sikh:

A  Sikh is any person whose faith consists of belief in One God, the ten Sikh  Gurus, the Guru Granth Sahib and other scriptures and teachings of the Sikh  Gurus. Additionally, he or she must believe in the necessity and importance of ‘Amrit’, the Sikh baptism.

God  and the Sikhs:

According  to the Sikh belief, God is all omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. The sun, moon/s, wind, fire, water, vegetation and all other things which exist are His  witnesses. A Sikh must worship only the abstract form of God. The worship of images or any other object is strictly forbidden.

God  is both the creator and the destroyer. He is beyond birth and death. He is both merciful and compassionate. He is beyond fear and enmity. He is self illuminated. He is the Master of all the treasures. All our possessions are a  result of His grace.

The  Sikhs call God as Waheguru, meaning the most wonderful Master.

The  belief of the Sikhs in Waheguru is similar to that of Judaism, Christianity and  Islam i.e., God is the greatest power, He is supreme, He is the king of kings,  He pervades everywhere, He knows the inner thoughts of everyone, He is the  giver, He existed before the start of the time, He existed when the time was started, He exists now and He will exist forever.
