Subsequent to His epiphany, Nanak became silent, he gave up his worldly job, and distributed all of his belongings to the poor. When he finally broke his silence he uttered "There is no Hindu, no Muslim". At that juncture, an angry Muslim said to Nanak, "Perhaps the Hindus were no longer Hindus but the Muslims remain devout to their faith."
Guru Nanak replied, "Let God's grace be the mosque, and devotion the prayer mat. Let the Quran be the good conduct. Let modesty be compassion, good manners fasting, you should be a Muslim the like of this. Let good deeds be your Kaaba and truth be your mentor. Your Kalma be your creed and prayer, God would then vindicate your honour." (Majh)* satnam
