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.

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.
