The [[prayer beads|beaded prayer]]s were composed by the Tenth Sikh Guru, [[Guru Gobind Singh]] and is found at the start of the Sikh scripture [[Dasam Granth]].<ref name=singha110/> This [[Gurbani|Bani]] is an important Sikh prayer, and is recited by the ''[[Panj Pyare]]'' while preparing ''[[Amrit]]'' on the occasion of ''[[Amrit Sanchar]]'' (initiation), a ceremony held to Amrit initiates into the [[Khalsa]] and it is a part of a Sikh's ''[[Nitnem]]'' (daily meditation). The ''Jaap Sahib'' is reminiscent of ''[[Japji Sahib]]'' composed by Guru Nanak, and both praise God.<ref name=singha110/>
