It is regarded as the last Sikh guru following the ten human gurus in Sikhism. It was compiled during the early seventeenth century, from 1603 to 1604. On 29 August 1604, its compilation was completed.
The bulk of the scripture was composed of the first six Sikh Gurus. The last human Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh edited the scripture to add 115 more hymns by Guru Teg Bahadur, the ninth Sikh guru and one by him. This edited version of the Adi Granth Sahib is known as the Guru Granth Sahib. The holy scripture has 1430 angs and 5894 sabads and is written in Gurmukhi script.
