Principles of Tawahid-i-Ilahi or Din-i-IlahiAimed at achieving a synthesis of all religions, Akbar's Din-i-llahi's major principles include:
(i) God is great (Allah-o-Akbar)
(ii) Initiations would be performed on Sunday.
(iii) The novice would place his head at the emperor's feat. The emperor would raise him up and give him the formula (Shast).
(iv) The initiates would abstain from meat as far as possible and give a sumptuous feast and alms on their birthday.
(v) There would be no sacred scriptures, place of worship or rituals (except initiation).
(vi) Every adherent should take oath of doing good to everybody. .
(vii) Followers should show respect to all religions.
Akbar's efforts at social reform are also noteworthy. He riage and raised the age of marriage. He even tried to makl education broad-based and secular.
Jahangir and Shah Jahan pursued the same toleran policy though at times there were aberrations. Aurangze1 was a staunch Sunni but he was intolerant of other faith! He reversed the policy of Akbar, and this partly led to th decline of Mughal power after his death.
