What is Hukam

Hukamnama in the Sikh context is considered the Guru's words of wisdom for the day. Sri Guru Granth Sahib is opened randomly to any page and the shabad on that page becomes the day's Hukam (command). This practice dates back to the time when Sri Guru Granth Sahib was first installed in the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in 1604. For details see: Reference from Sikh Rehat Maryada (The Sikh Code of Conduct).
