The history between Islam and Sikhi is not that of friendship but of fight for existence . That ' s really oversimplifying things . There were a lot of Muslims who were friendly to the Sikhs and the Gurus . There are concrete examples of sufi saints some whose lineages continue to this day who aided the Gurus . Baba Mian Mir and Pir Buddu Shah are concrete examples . Pir Buddu Shah even sent his own family to fight alongside Guru Gobind Singh Ji and himself was eventually executed by the Mughals . The Guru ' s and the Khalsa fought against tyranny of a greedy , powerhungry and bigoted government . The fight was not against competing religion but against oppressors . The fact the the oppressive government was Muslim seems to confuse us these days into believing we were fighting Islam . Same thing can be said about the Pahari Rajas , the British and Indira Gandhi . Tyrants are the enemies of Sikhs not Hindus , Christians or Muslims .
