Din-i Ilahi, also known as the "Religion of God," was a syncretic religious doctrine introduced by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century. Akbar, known for his policy of religious tolerance, sought to create a unifying faith that could bridge the gap between different religious communities within his diverse empire.

Din-i Ilahi blended elements from various major religions of the time, including Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism. It emphasized monotheism, the worship of one God, and encouraged ethical conduct, kindness, and respect for all living beings. The faith also incorporated certain rituals from different religions, creating a unique amalgamation.

Akbar instituted this new 'religion' in around his 30th Regnal Year. Immediately, the changes in coinage was noticed, where earlier the coins bore the Islamic Kalima, it now bore the slogan 'Allah u Akbar Jalle Jalalahu' (God is Great, May his Glory be Glorified), which was a slogan of the Ilahi creed.
