You keep repeating the same thing yet you provide no evidence for anything you say. Right. Continue to flaunt hot air, if Labels were so bad then why does Bhai Gurdas Ji use them, why does Gurbani use them. "systematically undermine it" Don't make me laugh. You tried to assert Farid Ji wasn't a Sikh and that went badly. Now you have evidence that you were talking about the wrong Farid Ji so you decide to just ignore it and say "i can undermine it" 

ok then kiddo.

Please show me where I should look in the source you have provided.. 

you know there is something called an Index? Page 89. The same is mentioned in Bhai Mani Singh Ji's JanamSakhis, so will you now argue that Bhai Mani Singh Ji didn't know what he was talking about?

I didn't say he wasn't a Sikh! I just don't believe in your narrow definition of the term

My definition is the one laid out by Guru Sahib. Cry all you want but you're fallible, Guru Sahib isn't.

LOL now please just let me remind you of your last few posts.. You first threw into the mix bhai gurdas ji //, then randomly referred to Bilija ji then refer to a document by bhai vir Singh from the 19th century only to go back in time to bhai mani and to boot also throw in for credibility meharban sakhis.. 

Finally you some how say you're definition is laid out by guru sahib.. So let's cut to the chase.. Where does SGGS ji lay it out as you would have me believe?

So let me get this straight. You wanted evidence so I gave you it but suddenly its all too much? I've just presented you with evidence from multiple sources, one of whom comes from a Sikh of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. All of whom just said that Farid Ji met Guru Nanak Dev Ji and he ISN'T the same one as the on residing in the 12th Century.  At-least have the balls to admit you were wrong.

 

eh have you ever bothered reading Anand Sahib? There's an entire pauri there devoted to the topic of listening to the Guru, and the Guru made every sikh drink Amrit. So tell me again how my definition of Sikh is wrong when its the very one that Guru Gobind Singh Ji followed.

 

This whole "definition of a Sikh" is getting off topic. The point of this thread was to point out Farid Ji was a Sikh. If you wish to discuss this then make a new thread. I have exams so I won't be answering anymore, however the Sangat here share my views so I'm sure they'll answer you just fine.

Why are you bothering with whether Sheikh Farid ji was a Sufi at some point or another?

I've explicitly ceded ground that Sheikh ji may have been a Sunni, Shia, or whatever at some point in his life. The debate question is whether  in the end Sheikh ji was a Muslim.

I agree with you. The question is whether sheikh farid was a Muslim in the end.. And I would assert that he was.. But for me being a sikh and a true Muslim is not mutually exclusive

The only way to know whether Baba Farid was a Muslim or not would be to spot any sayings of his that would be considered heretical in accordance to Islamic practice.

So for those who are well versed with the bani of Baba Farid, did he say anything heretical?

I do recall him acknowledging the Guru, but can that be considered heretical considering Muslims revere Saints?

Know who else they think was a Muslim?

Guru Nanak Dev ji Maharaj.

So does the infamous Dr. Zakir Naik.

of course empty vessels will try to claim paragons of true divinity as their own because they hope it will make up for their lack.. it doesn't Farid ji was castigated by his muslim peers because he would sing and dance in Akal Purakh's praises

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
