In Sikhism, 'Akal Purakh,' meaning the Timeless One or God who is beyond time; used to refer to the divine or sacred in Sikh philosophy.
From Punjabi 'akal' (beyond time), from Sanskrit 'a-' (not) + 'kāla' (time). The term was central to Guru Nanak's theology and remains foundational in Sikhism.
Sikhs use 'Akal' as both a name for God and a way of describing eternity itself—when they say 'Akal Sahai' (God is the help/support), they're invoking timelessness as a source of protection, merging philosophy with devotion.
