 Q:
Does Satan exist or is he made up? The 3 other faiths testify to his existence and
tell the story of how he was rejected. Where is Satan now?
A:
Sikhism regards the existence of a parallel and evil power to Akaal as being
blasphemous. Akaal Purakh is all powerful and all pervading. There can be no power
opposed to his. All are his creations are under his will. Does it make sense that a
being such as Satan could exist to oppose God? Sikhism does not believe that human
are deceived by Satan. Human are deceived by Maya i.e. the creation of Akaal, when
they take it to be true and forget who has created it. When the human is entangled
in the net of Maya, he falls in love with falsehood and material creations, and forgets
the source of all love and happiness, Akaal. So Sikhism does indeed reject the
existence of some parallel power, "Satan", which opposes God.
