Akbar rose to fame in the pages of history due to his religious policy. Various factors were responsible for his religious ideas.

The most important among them were his early contacts with the Sufi saints, the teachings of his tutor Abdul Latif, his marriage with Rajput women, his association with intellectual giants like Shaikh Mubarak and his two illustrious sons - Abul Faizi and Abul Fazl - and his ambition to establish an empire in Hindustan. At the beginning of his life, Akbar was a pious Muslim.

Soon after marrying Jodh Bai of Amber, he abolished the pilgrim tax. He allowed his Hindu wives to worship their own gods.

Later, he became a skeptical Muslim. In 1575, he ordered the construction of Ibadat Khana (House of worship) at his new capital Fatepur Sikri. Akbar invited learned scholars from all religions like Hinduism, Jainism, Christianity and Zoroastrianism.
