Jaap is the bani (set of hymns) uttered by Guru Gobind Singh ji, the Tenth Sikh Guru, the Tenth Nanak.
It is one of the Five Banis recited by most practising Sikhs each morning and the bani that the Panj Pyare recite while preparing Amrit on the occasion of Amrit Sanchaar (Sikh Initiation), a ceremony held to admit initiates into the Khalsa Brotherhood.
It is the second bani of the five in the daily morning prayer routine of a Sikh. This bani has the same place in the Dasam Granth as the Japji Sahib has in Guru Granth Sahib.
