Sikhs believe in one God who guides and protects them. They believe everyone is equal before God. Sikhs believe that your actions are important and you should lead a good life. Sikhism is a monotheistic religion. This means that Sikhs believe there is one God. One of the most important names for God in Sikhism is Waheguru (Wonderful God or Lord). Sikhs learn about God through the teachings of Guru Nanak and the nine Sikh Gurus who came after him. Sikhs are not Hindus, they have differences in scriptures, social status, worship, religious appearance, and so on. Sikhs do not cut their hair, as a religious observance. The turban protects the hair and keeps it clean. When he institutionalised the turban as a part of the Sikh identity, Guru Gobind Singh said, “My Sikh will be recognised among millions”.

It is a collection of nearly 6,000 hymns of the Sikh Gurus (religious leaders) and various early and medieval saints of different religions and castes.
