Core Sikh Beliefs

  • Sikhi recognizes a single Creator who sustains all people of all faiths.

  • Everyone has equal status before God. All positions of authority in Sikh religious and political life are open to both men and women.

  • Sikhi considers no place, day or time more auspicious than another. Only time and Place where God is remembered is sacred.

  • Sikhidoes not have a clergy. With God’s grace, all human beings are capable of realizing God.

  • Everyone has the sacred duty to make a contribution towards the welfare of humanity. The more fortunate have an obligation to help the less fortunate. All Sikhs must donate ten percent of their income and time to some humanitarian cause.

  • Sikhi denounces polytheism, idolatry, superstitions and blind rituals.

  • Sikhi emphasizes living in the present as the human life is a precious opportunity to realize the divine.

  • Sikhi encourages literacy, individual growth hard work, family life and honest living.

  • Sikhi seeks to create a world society where all human beings may live as equals without any form of coercion. It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
