Which amongst the following statements is correct about Mughal emperor Akbar?

Explanation

The correct statement about Akbar is that he founded a new religious order called Din-i Ilahi in 1582.

It was not a full-fledged religion but a spiritual order

It combined ideas from Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism

Its aim was to promote tolerance, unity, and ethical living

अकबर के बारे में सही कथन यह है कि उन्होंने 1582 में 'दीन-ए-इलाही' नामक एक नई धार्मिक व्यवस्था की स्थापना की।

यह पूरी तरह धर्म नहीं, बल्कि एक आध्यात्मिक विचारधारा थी

इसमें हिंदू, इस्लाम, ईसाई, जैन और पारसी धर्मों के तत्व शामिल थे

इसका उद्देश्य धार्मिक सहिष्णुता और एकता को बढ़ावा देना था
