Guru Granth Sahib & Islam




"Let mercy be your mosque, faith be your prayer-mat, and honest living your Quran"

So says the Guru Granth Sahib, and I was just delighted to find that out.
I'm yet to discover the origins of this translation, but if it is truly verbatim.. Go Gurus!
My preliminary google searching yielded various petty debates on whether the Sikh Gurus were muslim to have written this. I'm really hoping people stop being so insular.
Anyway, the picture above is of a mosques in Sharjah at, what is called, The Corniche. Woke up at 5 in the morning for this - dad was happy for the early-rising, but I don't think I'll be repeating that anytime soon :)
