In 1604, Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru, completed the compilation of the Adi Granth, which is now revered as the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism. This monumental work brought together hymns and teachings from the Sikh Gurus as well as contributions from Hindu and Muslim saints, establishing a comprehensive spiritual text for the Sikh community. The Adi Granth not only solidified the identity of Sikhism but also promoted a message of unity and inclusivity among different faiths.

The compilation of the Adi Granth in 1604, following the death of Guru Arjan Dev, established a diverse anthology of poetry that included works by Kabir and other saints. This multi-faith scripture influenced poetic traditions across cultures, promoting themes of unity and spiritual inquiry.
