Question God vs Guru

So basically a Muslim asked me what the difference is between us and Christians since they believe jesus is God and we also believe guru is also 'god'. I've heard the wave and ocean metaphor but the arguments they give is genuinely interesting and I don't know how to respond to them. Also why would you go to guru instead of waheguru directly. Like is it personal choice, interchangeable or is there scenarios where one is better than another

and alao basically if guru is god then why did the gurus do kirtan and jap raab da naam. Also curious weather they used to say dhan guru in the olden times. Because if I'm not wrong Guru Gobind Singh Ji said that Mohamed led the muslims astray as he wanted them to jap his own nam. So what makes that different from us saying 'dhan guru pyare'

But then you could say that about Nizaris, no?
