The Din-i-Ilahi (the Ilahi faith) was a new syncretic religion or spiritual leadership program propounded by the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1582, intending to merge some of the elements of the various religions practiced by his subjects and create a new religion for his empire, and thereby reconcile the differences that divided his subjects. Some of the late coins of Akbar are also dated in "Ilahi years", corresponding to his regnal years.
