Akbar disliked the interference of the Muslim Ulemas in political matters. In 1579, he issued the “Infallibility Decree” by which he asserted his religious powers.

In 1582, he promulgated a new religion called Din-i-I lahi or Divine Faith. It believes in one God. It was aimed at bridging the gap that separated different religions. However, his new faith proved to be a failure.
