All happens as God Almighty wills it to happen. Guru Sahib told them, “I bear no enemies or ill-will against any one. When this came to my ears and I clearly understood his folly, I ordered them to produce him and handed over his houses, dwelling-places, and children to Murtaza Khan, and having confiscated his property commanded that he should be put to death.”Ĭhandu, the officer of Jahangeer, was in charge of torturing Guru Sahib.
He behaved to Khusro in certain special ways, and made on his forehead a finger-mark in saffron, which the Indians (Hindus) call qashqa (Tilak) and is considered propitious. Khusro happened to halt at the place where he was, and he came out and did homage to him. Many times it occurred to me to put a stop to this vain affair or to bring him into the assembly of the people of Islam.Īt last when Khusro passed along this road this insignificant fellow proposed to wait upon him. For three or four generations (of spiritual successors) they had kept this shop warm. They called him Guru, and from all sides stupid people crowded to worship and manifest complete faith in him. “In Gobindwal, which is on the river Biyah (Beas), there was a Hindu named Arjun, in the garments of sainthood and sanctity, so much so that he had captured many of the simple-hearted of the Hindus, and even of the ignorant and foolish followers of Islam, by his ways and manners, and they had loudly sounded the drum of his holiness. In “Tuzuk-i-Jahagiri” (“Memoirs of Jahangeer”), Jahangeer wrote: Through all these circumstances Guru Arjan Sahib Jee fell a victim to the bigotry and inhumanity of Jahangeer. The compilation of Sri Aad Granth jee (the early version of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee) was considered a serious blow to the monopolies and social oppression maintained by so-called men of religion. Along with these circumstances, Guru Sahib’s increasing influence on large numbers of Hindus and Muslims to adopt Gurmat, created a stir in the minds of the Brahmin Pandits (Hindu priests) and the Qazis (Muslim priests). These men with jealousies in their hearts, concocted the real story of Guru Sahib sheltering the rebellious Khusro, Jahangeer’s son, who had fled a battle with his father and was a fugitive, to rouse the rage of Emperor Jahangeer which added fuel to the blazing fire. He held animosity over his daughter’s non-alliance with the Guru Sahib’s son, which is considered the main fuel for his vendetta.Naqshbandi, Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi and Sheikh Fareed Bukhari, (Murtaza Khan), Governor of Punjab were zealous Muslims who were jealous of the growing popularity of Sikhi and considered Guru Arjan Dev jee and the Sikhs a threat to the growth of Islam.Mahesh Daas Bhatt (known as Birbal) was an anti-Sikh Hindu Brahmin, who considered Guru Arjan Dev jee a threat to Brahmanism. Chandu Shah was the Brahman advisor and officer of Jahangeer.
