Why did Guru Nanak create Sikhism?

Well, The Kangha is a wooden comb used by Sikh's only twice a day to keep the hair clean and tidy. The Kangha is part of the five signs of a Sikh. It is one of the 5 k's which include the Kangha, Kirpan, Kaccha, Kesh and the Kara. Being clean is a huge thing to Sikh's and was emphasised by a Guru named Gobind Singh when he formed the Khalsa. Sikh's hair being clean and knot free is so big to them because they view it as it should represent their life, tidy and organized. Sikh's wash their hair very early every morning, then right after they comb it, and then is put into a topknot. After the hair is put into a topknot, they put the Kangha into the topknot then cover it with a turban. If the Sikh's are not using the comb, it must always be in their hair. The dimensions of a modern comb that they were is usually that it is 7.5cm tall, the width is 5cm and the depth is 0.9 cm.

How many adherents does Sikhism have?
Sikhism has on average 23 or 24 million followers in total worldwide
Sikhism was started by the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. His most famous saying being:Higher the Tryth is Truthful Living
He was then suceeded by 9 other living Guru's. The collective teachings of these Guru's (and other Saints) have been written in the Sikh Holy Book, The Guru Granth Sahib.
What is the sixth book of Sikhism?
There is only one Holy Book of Sikhs, Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Other than Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Bhai Gurdas Ji's vaars and Hymns of Bhai Nand Lal Goya are allowed to be read and sang in the Gurudwara.
Dasam Granth which is generally credited to be the work Guru Gobind Singh Ji, can be read if a Sikh wants too but as such don't hold any authority.Nor does it was in anyway allowed to be read in the Gurudwara like the other 3 scriptures as mentioned above.
These are the only 4 scriptures Sikhs have.

There is no leader of Sikhism currently. But Sikhs call their leaders "Guru". The first Guru who formed Sikhism was called Guru Nanak
Why do Sikh's believe their holy book is important?
Guru Granth Sahib Ji (the Sikhs holy book) contains the actual spoken words by the Sikh Gurus and thus those Words themselves are now the Guru of Sikhs. Furthermore, Sikhs consider Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the Living Embodiment of Guru for the same reason. Sikhs don't treat Guru Granth Sahib Ji as Holy Book but as a Living Guru. Also, the 10th Guru, Guru Gobing Singh Ji, announced himself that out final guru would be the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
Why did guru Nanak decide not to follow Islam or Hinduism?
All religions in themselves are adequate and self sufficient in helping anyone to get salvation. But if the followers of the religions develop their own rituals and practices due to their own understanding and superstitions, then people lose the sight of religion and therefore religion becomes more of a ritualistic practice surrounded with certain beliefs based on superstition. So was the case of Hinduism which has long history of dividing the society into caste and rituals. Not that Hinduism as a religion is dividing the people into caste but as mentioned above it is the understanding and superstition of people because of their egocentric nature that made extremely difficult for many people to gain sight of religion, same can be applied to Islam. Being a ruling religion at that time of Guru Nanak, Muslims were busy having their own merry making and extending empire thus losing sight of religion. In this atmosphere and environment came Guru Nanak who from the beginning had interest in religion and was looking things in depth.At age 30, as per Sikh tradition, he disappeared from the stream where he used to go to bath every morning and appeared back after three days. When the local people posed him question, he answered the same to every question:'There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim. So whose path shall I follow, I shall follow God's path" and thus Sikhism was founded.
Hope that answer your question.
