Explanation

Din-e-Ilahi (Divine Faith) was initiated by Emperor Akbar in 1582 CE as a syncretic religious movement that aimed to blend elements from various religions including Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism.

The faith emphasized the concept of sulh-i-kul (universal peace) and had a small following among the nobility.
