Dear Javed Sheikh.
Hadees:
There will be thirty liars in my Ummah, each of them claiming to be a Prophet, but I am the Khatam-un-Nabiyeen, there is no Prophet after me. (Sunan Abu Daud, Kitab al-Fitan)
The above mentioned Hadees clearly states that there is no prophet after Muhammad (peace be upon him). As Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the messenger for the whole mankind and the whole universe as Quran says:
And We have sent you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): not but as a mercy for the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
( سورة الأنبياء , Al-Anbiya, Chapter #21, Verse #107)
As Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a mercy for the whole mankind similarly He was sent as a messenger of Allah for the whole mankind. That is why the whole mankind is recognized as Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Now if you read the aforementioned Hadees you would be better able to understand that there would be no prophet after Muhammad (peace be upon him) irrespective of place or people or for believers of any religion.
So neither the Guru Nanak was a prophet of Allah nor the Sikhs following a God sent religion at all. What the Guru Nanak presumably did, combined the Islam and Hinduism which resulted in a totally sketchy code of life e.g. not cutting the hairs of the body as they grow naturally and one should not change the nature, now even the Science considers it unhygienic.
Every religion whether true or false has developed a way or a code of life same is the case with Sikhism. They have also developed a system of worship which is much similar to Hinduism. As Sikhism was a by product of Hinduism.
