Abstract
This article will look into the unexplored area of relations between Shi'ism and Sikhism. The author first establishes the historical links between both traditions especially during the formative first two centuries of the Sikh tradition. One realises very quickly that the relations between these two traditions have been quite intense. The second part will deal with parallelisms regarding different theological and mystical concepts whilst the third part will deal with sacred chivalry in both traditions. Based on primary and secondary sources this article will focus on pre-reformist Sikhism and mystical Shi'ism. It will help highlight less known aspects of the Sikh tradition and challenge established perceptions about the links between early Sikhism and Shi'a Islam.
