In the Sikh faith, is God a man? | Ask SikhRI

2024/01/24

In Sikh ideals, preference is not to use the term "God" as it often carries gendered imagery. Instead, we embrace ੴ pronounced as IkOankar, the genderless and transcendent Being. IkOankar is not just gender-neutral; it transcends gender. "Ik" signifies the 1, "Oankar" represents the creative and pervasive Force – so it’s the 1Force.

"I think it matters because what is our indigenous term? And what is the term which those who were studying us in the last hundred years started calling us? Our native term is Sikhi.
