Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Sikhism is explicitly monotheistic: its opening phrase “Ik Onkar” (There is One God) and teachings of the Gurū Granth Sāhib emphasize a single, formless, eternal God who is the creator and sustainer. This is the key doctrinal point that distinguishes Sikh theology.

Relevant knowledge points and concepts:
1. Sikhism: monotheism (Ik Onkar; emphasis on one omnipresent, formless God).
2. Hinduism: historically and practically encompasses polytheism (many deities worshipped), though it also contains monistic and henotheistic traditions—so describing it as polytheistic is commonly correct in broad summary.
3. Jainism: rejects a creator God; teaches an eternal universe governed by natural laws, with emphasis on individual souls (jīvas), karma, and the moral law rather than a creator deity. Jain cosmology explains motion and change in terms of karma and cyclical time rather than divine creation.

Step-by-step reasoning:
1. Identify Sikhism’s stance: Sikh scriptures and tenets affirm one God → monotheism.
2. Identify Hinduism’s stance: traditional Hindu practice includes numerous deities (Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, etc.) and temple worship → commonly characterized as polytheistic (while noting internal diversity).
3. Identify Jainism’s stance: canonical Jain texts deny an omnipotent creator; the universe (loka) is eternal and runs according to dharma/karma and natural principles; thus Jainism does not posit a creator God and focuses on the motion/condition of souls within the cosmos.

Why the correct option is correct:
- It correctly pairs Sikhism with monotheism, Hinduism with polytheism (in general practice), and Jainism with the absence of a creator God, instead emphasizing the eternal motion/order of the universe and karmic processes.

Why the other options are incorrect:
- Option 1 (Sikhism and Hinduism polytheistic; Jainism monotheistic): incorrect because Sikhism is not polytheistic and Jainism does not posit a single creator God.
- Option 3 (Hinduism and Jainism polytheistic; Sikhism doesn't believe in God): incorrect because Sikhism affirms God, and Jainism is not polytheistic in the sense of worshipping creator gods.

Conclusion: The correct statement is “Sikhism believes in monotheism, Hinduism believes in polytheism, and Jainism doesn't believe in the concept of God but instead motion of the universe,” which matches the provided answer.
