Answer:
Sikhism (/ˈsɪkɪzəm/); Punjabi: ਸਿੱਖੀ or Sikhi (Sikkhī, [ˈsɪkːʰiː], from ਸਿੱਖ, Sikh, 'disciple', 'seeker', or 'learner'),[i] is a monotheistic religion that originated in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent[ii] around the end of the 15th century CE.[1][2][3][4][5][6] One of the youngest of the major religions and the world's fifth-largest organized religion,[7] it comprises about 25 million Sikhs as of the early-21st century.[8]
Guru Nanak (15 April 1469 – 22 September 1539), founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus
Sikhism developed from the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak, the first Guru (1469–1539),[9] and of the nine Sikh Gurus who succeeded him. The tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh (1676-1708), named the Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib as his successor, bringing to a close the line of human Gurus and establishing the scripture as the eternal, religious spiritual guide for Sikhs.[10][11][12] Guru Nanak taught that living an "active, creative, and practical life" of "truthfulness, fidelity, self-control and purity" is above the metaphysical truth, and that the ideal man "establishes union with God, knows His Will, and carries out that Will".[13] Guru Hargobind, the sixth Sikh Guru (1606-1644), established the concept of the mutual co-existence of the miri (political/temporal) and piri (spiritual) realms.[14]
The Sikh scripture opens with the Mul Mantar (ਮੂਲ ਮੰਤਰ), fundamental prayer about ik onkar (ੴ, 'One God').[15][16] The core beliefs of Sikhism, articulated in the Guru Granth Sahib, include faith and meditation on the name of the one creator; divine unity and equality of all humankind; engaging in seva ('selfless service'); striving for justice for the benefit and prosperity of all; and honest conduct and livelihood while living a householder's life.[17][18][19] Following this standard, Sikhism rejects claims that any particular religious tradition has a monopoly on Absolute Truth.[iii][20]
Sikhism emphasizes simran (ਸਿਮਰਨ, meditation and remembrance of the words of God),[21] which can be expressed musically through kirtan, or internally through naam japna ('meditation on His name') as a means to feel God's presence. It teaches followers to transform the "Five Thieves" (i.e. lust, rage, greed, attachment, and ego).[22]
The religion developed and evolved in times of religious persecution, gaining converts from both Hinduism and Islam.[23] Mughal rulers of India tortured and executed two of the Sikh gurus—Guru Arjan (1563–1605) and Guru Tegh Bahadur (1621–1675)—after they refused to convert to Islam.[24][25][26][27][28] The persecution of Sikhs triggered the founding of the Khalsa - by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 - as an order to protect the freedom of conscience and religion,[24][29] with members expressing the qualities of a Sant-Sipāhī—a 'saint-soldier'.
