BRIDGING BELIEFS, BUILDING PEACE

Celebrating the spirit of interfaith harmony

- 

Gurudwara Guru Nanak Darbar Dubai, the first official Sikh temple in the Gulf region and a beacon of peace, tolerance, and harmony, is celebrating the 556th birth anniversary (Gurpurab) of Guru Nanak Dev Ji — the founder of Sikhism and the eternal messenger of peace and brotherhood — with devotion and grandeur on Wednesday, November 5, and Sunday, November 9, 2025. The occasion will feature continuous kirtan and paath, with Guru Ka Langar (community meal) served throughout the day — a sacred expression of gratitude and unity welcoming devotees and visitors from all faiths and nationalities.

A spiritual and architectural landmark in the UAE, the Gurudwara stands as a living symbol of interfaith respect and selfless service. Its open doors and inclusive spirit reflect the timeless message of Guru Nanak Dev Ji— “Recognise all of humanity as one.”

The celebrations will begin at dawn with Nitnem, followed by Asa ki Vaar and Sukhmani Sahib Paath, setting a serene spiritual tone for the day. The entire day will be devoted to kirtans and prayers inspired by the divine teachings of Guru Nanak.

Later in the month, on Tuesday, November 25, and Sunday, November 30, 2025, Gurudwara Guru Nanak Darbar Dubai will observe the 350th Shaheedi Diwas of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, the ninth Sikh Guru — revered as both the Hind di Chadar (Protector of India) and “The Universal Protector.” His supreme sacrifice was not for one faith alone but for the spiritual freedom of all humanity.
