| - In Islam, Muhammad is the last and final prophet of God. Islam views Jews, Christians and Muslims as "People of the Book" as all three major faiths are part of the Abrahams. Muslims also believe Adam (Bible), Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus were prophets. However, Muslims do not consider any Sikh or Gurus as prophets. Sikhism is part of the Dharmic religions, the others being Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Many Islam ruled parts of the Indian subcontinent starting from the 12th century. The prominent ones include the Delhi Sultanate (1206–1526) and the Mughal Empire (1526–1857), with which the Sikh gurus frequently came into direct confrontation, however these empires helped in the spread of Islam in South Asia, but by the mid-18th century, the British Empire had ended the Mughal dynasty. Sikhism arose in a climate that was heavily influenced by the Bhaktism and Sufism. Nanak was its founder; although born a Hindu, he was thoroughly conversant with both Hindu and Islamic texts. The Guru contains the teachings of Sikhs Gurus along with the teachings, philosophies and beliefs of Eleven Hindu Saintsand four Sufi saints including Kabir. Sikh religious philosophy accepts some aspects of Sufism, and rejects most of them.
