Correction: I'm sorry but the above answer is misleading and one-sided. In Sikhism, Sikhs do not take human beings as god, just as the Prophets, the Sikhs had gurus which were also messengers like the prophets but never claimed themselves as being god and weren't gods.

The Sikhs believe in one god , no matter what religion it be, they believe we will end up to one deity whos the deity of all. Many paths leading to the same destination.

They are different in ten ways as quoted below:

1. Origin:

• Sikhism originated with the birth of Guru Nanak in Punjab circa 1469 and is based on on the guru's writings and teachings.

• Islam; per Quran; originated in 610 A.D. through Quran revelation by Allah (God in English and same God worshiped in Chritianity and Judaism) to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) through the angel Gabriel (or Jibril).

2. Deity:

• Sikhs believe in Ik Onkar, one creator who is present in all of creation. Sikhs refer to God as Waheguru.
• Muslims profess belief in Allah and his prophet Mohammad.

3. Scripture:

• Sikhs accept the scripture of Siri Guru Granth Sahib as the living word of their Guru or Enlighter. The Guru Granth offers instruction and guidance on how to achieve humility and overcome egoism to illuminate and liberate the soul from the bondage of spiritual darkness.
• Muslims follow the scripture of the Quran believing it to be the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Mohammad by the Angel Gabriel.

4. Fundamental Principles:

5. Worship:

• Sikhs worship in the gurdwara. Services include langar free food from the guru's kitchen. Sikhs begin the day with meditation and recite daily prayers in the morning, evening and at bedtime.
• Muslims worship in the mosque (or any other clean dry place) and practice prayers (Salats) five times daily.

6. Conversion:

• Sikhism does not practice proselytism, nor seek to convert, but accepts anyone who chooses to be initiated regardless of background. Sikhism believes in defending the oppressed against tyranny of forced conversion, by peaceful means, or taking up arms should negotiations fail.
• Islam teaches that no compulsion in religion

7. Appearance:

• Sikhism Keshdhari devotees and Armitdhari initiates do not cut or remove hair from the body face or scalp. Devout Sikh men and some women wear religiously mandated turbans in a variety of styles to cover and protect unshorn hair.
• Muslim male devotees may wear a turban, or fez, and grow a beard, but generally do not keep hair intact on the scalp or body. Women devotees are required per Islam teachings to wear loose cloth (that don't describe the sensitive sexual figure) and that cloth should cover the whole body including hair, head, and neck but not covering face and hands.

8. Circumcision:

• Sikhism is against ritual mutilation of the genitals. Sikhs do not practice circumcision for either male or females.
• Islam requires circumcision for male but not females

9. Marriage and Status of Females:

• Sikhism code of conduct outlines marriage as a monogamous relationship teaching that bride and groom are fused by the Anand Karaj ceremony with the divine sharing one light in two bodies. Dowry is discouraged.
• Islamic scripture of the Quran allows a man to take up to four wives (subject to restrictions and conditions). Ilsamic law requires Muslim couples to sign a Nikah contract stipulating bride gift, and is followed by Walima, a public ceremony.

10. Dietary Law & Fasting:

• Sikhism does not permit the eating of animal slaughtered ritually according to Muslim law halal. Sikhism does not believe in ritual fasting as a means to spiritual enlightenment.
• Islam dietary law requires that animals eaten for food be slaughtered according to halal ritual reading of prayer while the live animal is bled to death. Islam observes Ramadan, a month long fast during which no food or drink may be consumed during daylight hours. Fasting deprivation is thought to purify the soul.
