Guru Granth Sahib is the sacred scripture of which religion?

• A. Sikhism
• B. Buddhism
• C. Judaism
• D. Christianity

Answer: (A)

Guru Granth Sahib is the sacred scripture of Sikhism. In Sikhism, this collection is treated as the eternal living Guru, guiding how Sikhs worship, what they believe about God, and how they live with others. It was compiled by Guru Arjan and later honored by Guru Gobind Singh as the final guru for all time, so worship and recitation in gurdwaras center on its hymns. The text speaks of one God, Waheguru, and stresses truthful living, equality, and service to others. This is distinct from the holy books of Buddhism, Judaism, or Christianity, which have their own texts—the Tripitaka or Pali Canon in Buddhism, the Tanakh in Judaism, and the Bible in Christianity. The Guru Granth Sahib stands uniquely for Sikh beliefs and practice.
