Guru Amar Das Sahib contributed the following to the people of the world:

A total of 907 revelatory hymns, that are incorporated in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Gift of the prayer Anand Sahib, which is one of the Five Banis recited daily by devout Sikhs.

All visitors (from any caste, creed, ranking, social status) to Gurdwaras were asked to first partake in Langar (a free communal meal) before seeing the Guru (First Pangat, then Sangat). When emperor Akbar visited the Guru, he too first sat as a commoner in the Langar, and then had a meeting with the Guru.
Further abolished the caste system.
Guru Ji lifted the status of women and gave them equality with men. He strictly prohibited practices such as Sati (the burning of the wife on her husband's funeral pyre), Parda (veil to cover the face), and encouraged widow-remarriage.
Established an administration system for management of the increasing size of the Sikh congregations, called Manjis.
Established the city of Goindval on the banks of River Beas in 1552 A.D.
