din-e-ilahi

Din-e-Ilahi (from Arabic: "The Godly Religion", "The Religion of God", or "The Divine Faith") was a fraternal order established by the Mogul Emperor Akbar of India. It was supposed to be an amalgamation of the universal aspects and values of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism. Akbar was the head of the fraternal order, and the nobles were his disciples. Akbar held a religious disputation with representatives of the above religions in Fatehpur Sikri about 1575 CE. For this, he invited Portuguese Jesuits from Goa. This did not rest well with Muslim clerics, who declared this as blasphemy, inciting a rebellion, led by the Emperor's son, which Akbar crushed in 1581 CE. Sources:
