The Foundation of The Golden Temple in Amritsar, was laid down by a Muslim Saint. Just Fantastic & so heart warming to know !!
Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru in 1588 planned to build a temple in the centre of Amritsar, which would be open to people of all castes. He invited his friend and great Contemporary Mystic, Mir Mohammed Muayyinul Islam, popularly known as Mian Mir, to lay the foundation stone of the temple.

The tension between Hindus and Muslims in the 11 th century was evident and the Sikh Prophets desired to level down these barriers, with a view to discover and to provide a common spiritual ground for the two, “Hinduism and Islam” !!!
The present Govt., which is systematically creating “Avoidable Social Divide” should really learn from this. This is called “Magnanimity”. This is called “Generosity”. This is called “Statesmanship” !!!
