“Guru Arjan was the fifth Sikh Guru and the first Sikh martyr: he gave up his life for the Sikh people.⠀
⠀
Contributions⠀
⠀
The Guru laid the foundation of the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) in Amritsar. He also designed the four doors in a Gurdwara, proclaiming that "My faith is for the people of all castes and all creeds from whichever direction they come and to whichever direction they bow."⠀
⠀
Guru Arjan laid the foundations of the Golden Temple. ⠀
⠀
He also declared that all Sikhs should donate a tenth of their earnings to charity.⠀
The greatest contribution he made to the Sikh faith was to compile all of the past Gurus' writings into one book, now the holy scripture: the Guru Granth Sahib. It was this holy book that made him a martyr.⠀
⠀
Guru Arjan Dev included the compositions of both Hindu and Muslim saints which he considered consistent with the teachings of Sikhism and the Gurus.⠀
⠀
In 1606, the Muslim Emperor Jahangir ordered that he be tortured and sentenced to death after he refused to remove all Islamic and Hindu references from the Holy book.⠀
⠀
He was made to sit on a burning hot sheet while boiling hot sand was poured over his burnt body. After enduring five days of unrelenting torture Guru Arjan Dev was taken for a bath in the river. As thousands watched he entered the river never to be seen again.”⠀
