      No, Sikh only believes in one creator that is ੧ਓ – Akaal Purakh.
      ਤੂ ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਸਿਰਿ ਕਾਲਾ।।
      ਤੂ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਅਲੇਖ ਅਗੰਮ ਨਿਰਾਲਾ।।(1038)
      Meaning that the Parmaatma is the deathless primal being and is the unseen inaccessible.
      ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਏਕੋ ਹੈ।।(350)
      Akaal Purakh /Creator is ONE

      SGGS begins with numerical 1 and enjoined us to the one and only one creator . It categorically refrains us from being influnced by , or into getting of worshipping of of absolutely any other entity , object , etc.

      ਹਰਿ ਇਕੋ ਦਾਤਾ ਸੇਵੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਇਕੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ॥
      har iko dhaataa seveeaai har ik dhiaaieeaai ||
      हरि इको दाता सेवीऐ हरि इकु धिआईऐ ॥
      Serve the One Lord, the Great Giver; meditate on the One Lord.

      ਹਰਿ ਇਕੋ ਦਾਤਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਮਨ ਚਿੰਦਿਆ ਪਾਈਐ ॥
      har iko dhaataa ma(n)geeaai man chi(n)dhiaa paieeaai ||
      हरि इको दाता मंगीऐ मन चिंदिआ पाईऐ ॥
      Beg from the One Lord, the Great Giver, and you shall obtain your heart’s desires.

      ਜੇ ਦੂਜੇ ਪਾਸਹੁ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਤਾ ਲਾਜ ਮਰਾਈਐ ॥
      je dhooje paasahu ma(n)geeaai taa laaj maraieeaai ||
      जे दूजे पासहु मंगीऐ ता लाज मराईऐ ॥
      But if you beg from another, then you shall be shamed and destroyed.

      OR

      ਆਪੇ ਪਟੀ ਕਲਮ ਆਪਿ ਉਪਰਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਭਿ ਤੂੰ ॥
      aape paTee kalam aap upar lekh bh too(n) ||
      आपे पटी कलम आपि उपरि लेखु भि तूँ ॥
      You Yourself are the writing tablet, and You Yourself are the pen. You are also what is written on it.

      ਏਕੋ ਕਹੀਐ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਦੂਜਾ ਕਾਹੇ ਕੂ ॥੨॥
      eko kaheeaai naanakaa dhoojaa kaahe koo ||2||
      एको कहीऐ नानका दूजा काहे कू ॥२॥
      Speak of the One Lord, O Nanak; how could there be any other? ||2||

      OR

      ਏਕੋ ਹੈ ਭਾਈ ਏਕੋ ਹੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
      eko hai bhaiee eko hai ||1|| rahaau ||
      एको है भाई एको है ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
      He is the One and Only; O Siblings of Destiny, He is the One alone. ||1||Pause||

      In contrast , when asked @ the Devi and Deva , the answer is

      ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇਵਾ ਮੂਲੁ ਹੈ ਮਾਇਆ ॥
      dhevee dhevaa mool hai maiaa ||
      देवी देवा मूलु है माइआ ॥
      The source, the root, of the gods and goddesses is Maya.

      ਸਿੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ ਜਿੰਨਿ ਉਪਾਇਆ ॥
      si(n)mirat saasat ji(n)n upaiaa ||
      सिंमृति सासत जिंनि उपाइआ ॥
      For them, the Simritees and the Shaastras were composed.

      The status of Durga as compared to the all mighty lord can be comprehended in the below verse of SGGS

      ਦੁਰਗਾ ਕੋਟਿ ਜਾ ਕੈ ਮਰਦਨੁ ਕਰੈ ॥
      dhuragaa koT jaa kai maradhan karai ||
      दुरगा कोटि जा कै मरदनु करै ॥
      Millions of Durga goddesses massage His Feet.

      OR
      ਦੇਵੀ ਦੇਵਾ ਪੂਜੀਐ ਭਾਈ ਕਿਆ ਮਾਗਉ ਕਿਆ ਦੇਹਿ ॥
      dhevee dhevaa poojeeaai bhaiee kiaa maagau kiaa dheh ||
      देवी देवा पूजीऐ भाई किआ मागउ किआ देहि ॥
      Why worship gods and goddesses, O Siblings of Destiny? What can we ask of them? What can they give us?
      ਪਾਹਣੁ ਨੀਰਿ ਪਖਾਲੀਐ ਭਾਈ ਜਲ ਮਹਿ ਬੂਡਹਿ ਤੇਹਿ ॥੬॥
      paahan neer pakhaaleeaai bhaiee jal meh booddeh teh ||6||
      पाहणु नीरि पखालीऐ भाई जल महि बूडहि तेहि ॥६॥
      The stone gods are washed with water, O Siblings of Destiny, but they just sink in the water. ||6||

      As Sikhs of SGGS , we should have to enjoin with none other than the All Might God who as defined by Gurbani is Formless, imperishable,
      Omnipotent.

      One more aspect…. in the whole of SGGS , nowhere has God been addressed by a female gender
