House Timurid Father Humayun Mother Hamida Banu Begum Religion Sunni Islam, Din-e-Illahi Mughal India developed a strong and stable economy, leading to commercial expansion and greater patronage of culture. Eschewing tribal bonds and Islamic state identity, Akbar strove to unite far-flung lands of his realm through loyalty, expressed through an Indo-Persian culture, to himself as an emperor who had near-divine status. To preserve peace and order in a religiously and culturally diverse empire, he adopted policies that won him the support of his non-Muslim subjects. To unify the vast Mughal state, Akbar established a centralised system of administration throughout his empire and adopted a policy of conciliating conquered rulers through marriage and diplomacy. His power and influence, however, extended over the entire country because of Mughal military, political, cultural, and economic dominance. A strong personality and a successful general, Akbar gradually enlarged the Mughal Empire to include nearly all of the Indian Subcontinent north of the Godavari river. Akbar succeeded his father, Humayun, under a regent, Bairam Khan, who helped the young emperor expand and consolidate Mughal domains in India. ~ JALAL Ud Din MUHAMMAD AKBAR Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar (15 October 1542– 27 October 1605), popularly known as Akbar I (IPA:, literally "the great") and later Akbar the Great, was the third Mughal emperor, who reigned from 1556 to 1605. Eventually, he becomes the founder of a new religion called Din-i Ilahi, which combines both Hinduism and Islam. Later Akbar controls the rebellion and announces that every religion has its rights in his kingdom. After their marriage, Jodhaa acts reluctant with Akbar and they do not consummate their marriage.
