The students of Akal Academy Bilga remembered the contributions of Muslim Sufi Saints on the occasion of Eid. After the Shabad Ceremony, short speech was delivered by a student Gurpreet Kaur (XI Science) telling about importance of Eid and contribution of Sufi Saints in Sikhism.
After this an enlightening speech was delivered by Principal Madam on the role of Muslim saints in the Sikh history & their contribution in Guru Granth Sahib Ji mentioning about Sai Mian Meer ji, Pir Buddhu Shah ji, and also 5 Sufi saints whose bani have been incorporated in Guru Granth Sahib , Bhagat Farid ji, Bhagat Kabir ji, Rababi Balwand Ji, Rababi Satta ji, Bhagat Bhikhan ji.
When a Sikh devotee bows in reverence before Guru Granth Sahib, he bows to the divine hymns of not only the Sikh Gurus but also to these saints, who initially followed their own spiritual path whether Hindu, Muslim or any other faith.
The students were motivated to welcome all faiths wholeheartedly as all religious faiths tread us towards the path of one God. They are taught to pay respect to the Holy Scripture which itself is inter-faith in itself and thus has a universal message for the entire humanity.
The students were told that In Guru Granth Sahib, Allah, the Divine Name recited by the Muslims have been incorporated 46 times.
At the end Karah parshad was distributed among all the students & staff members.
