Din-i Ilahi

Din-i Ilahi, or "Religion of God," was a syncretic faith founded by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century. Aimed at promoting harmony among different religions, it blended elements of Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and other beliefs. While it sought to create a universal religion, it did not gain widespread followers and remained more of a philosophical framework. Din-i Ilahi emphasized virtues like peace, tolerance, and love, reflecting Akbar's vision of a unified empire where diverse beliefs could coexist.
