A:Sikhism was founded by Guru Nanak in the sixteenth century and has approximately 20,000,000 adherents mainly located chiefly in the Punjab region of India. Nanak attempted to integrate the best in Hinduism and Islam into a new inclusive religion, so we can expect many similarities in the beliefs of Sikhism and Islam. Then, because there are many similarities between Islam and Christianity, we can also expect some similarities between Sikhism and Christianity.

Nanak taught a devotional monotheism, referring to God as The True Name, but also accepted the Hindu principle of reincarnation, the law of karma and the Hindu doctrine of Maya or illusion. Of course, Sikhism does not have the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity. Arguably the greatest practical difference between the two faiths is in Sikhism's emphasis on tolerance of other beliefs, whereas Christianity has always tended in some degree towards intolerance.

The scripture of Sikhism is the Granth (book) which is an anthology of many poems somewhat like the book of Psalms and wisdom literature of The Bible.

The key differences between the Jewish Ten Commandments and the Christian interpretation of them lie in the emphasis on the Sabbath day and the inclusion of graven images in the Christian version. Jewish tradition places a strong emphasis on observing the Sabbath as a day of rest and worship, while Christian interpretations often focus more on the prohibition of creating graven images as a form of idolatry.
