Question

How was Guru Granth Sahib compiled?

✓

Answer

Gum Angad compiled the compositions of Gum Nanak to which he added his own in a new script known as Gurmukhi.

The three successors of Gum Angad also wrote under the name of 'Nanak'.
All of their compositions were compiled by Gum Aijan in 1604.
The writings of other figures like Shaikh Farid, Saint Kabir, Bhagat Namdev and Gum Tegh Bahadur were added to his compilation.
In 1706 this compilation was authenticated by his son and successor, Gum Gobind Singh.
It is now known as Gum Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of the Sikhs.
