The Guru Granth Sahib is the central religious scripture of Sikhism and is considered by Sikhs as the eternal Guru, a spiritual guide for the Sikh community. Composed of hymns and writings by Sikh Gurus and other holy figures from diverse backgrounds, it includes teachings on ethics, morality, and the oneness of God. Unlike other religious scriptures, the Guru Granth Sahib is unique because it serves not only as a text but also as a living Guru, providing spiritual guidance and forming the spiritual foundation, worship practices, and daily lives of Sikhs. In the GCSE Religious Studies course, understanding the Guru Granth Sahib offers insights into Sikh beliefs, traditions, and the broader influence of Sikh teachings on culture and interfaith harmony.
