Thank you for asking a very pertinent question.
The answer is a resounding yes.
ਨਾ ਕੋ ਬੈਰੀ ਨਹੀ ਬਿਗਾਨਾ ਸਗਲ ਸੰਗਿ ਹਮ ਕਉ ਬਨਿ ਆਈ ॥੧॥ (ਮ:੫, ਪੰ:੧੨੯੯)
Guru Sahibs atates, there no enemy and none is outsider, I am friends with everyone.
Unlike other faiths, Sikhi accepts that people can have different faith and still be good people deserving of all Creator’s blessings. Sikhi accepts humanity as one family, no distinction on any basis including religion, gender, national origin, color, cast, creed, or any such thing.
Thank you very much for the Answer. I appreciate this informative response.
Nankean Philosophy or Sikhi teaches us to live on our planet Earth in peaceful coexistence with the creation of the Nature.
Also it teaches us to always be prepared to fight till death against injustice, especially when the downtrodden are being exploited.
Unlike the Crusades, Jehad and persecution by most other religions, you would never find any example of Sikhs ever trying to convert people of other faiths.
Sikhism is based on the principle of living according to the system of Akal Purkh and laws of nature (Hukam)
ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ Jap – 1
All the living beings are living according to the system of Akal Purkh since generations in a peaceful manner. Another example, Our all the body parts are functioning in perfect coordination to maintain our body system.
ਇਹੁ ਸਰੀਰੁ ਸਭੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਸਚੇ ਕੀ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੋਤਿ ॥ – 309
Hence, if we adopt Sikhism based on Guru Granth Sahib, then all of us, I.e whole world can live in a peaceful manner.
