Creation of the Universe

Religious Studies: KS3, topic 2.4.6

In Sikhi, God created the universe through divine will. God simply willed the universe to exist.
There was no single creation event. There is no mythological story to explain creation.
Everything in the universe simply came into being when God chose it to happen.
This creative power is called Hukam (“God’s command” or “divine order”).

Creation is continuous. It is not something that only happened in the past.
God’s presence sustains and renews life at every moment.
God is always active in creation, keeping the universe in harmony and balance.
Because creation is ongoing, life and the universe are sacred. The world and all beings in it are interconnected.
Sikhs show respect for the environment and all forms of life. Harming nature or people is harming the divine presence within them.
