The clash between Muslims and Sikhs started with Jahangir at the time of Guru Arjan Dev ji. The Muslim religious fanatics were jealous and felt in competition with the growing popularity of the court of Guru Arjan Dev ji. They tried to 'check' or stop this popularity by using the politics of the time against the Sikhs. You can read about this in any History book that deals with the history of India and the history of the Sikhs.
God bless you,
