India’s great Mughal Emperor Akbar traveled to Ajmer continuously for about 12 years and attended the Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, but suddenly after 1579 he stopped going to Ajmer. The question is why?
Historians say that Akbar’s religious attitude was gradually changing. He did not want to be limited to Islam only, but also made a new path by combining all religions. With this thinking, he started Deen-e-Ilahi.
What did Abdul Qadir Badauni say?
Mulla Abdul Qadir Badauni wrote in his book Muntakhab-Ut-Tawariikh that some people smiled at Akbar’s dargah and said, “How surprising that the emperor believes in Khwaja but has left the Prophet’s path.” Badauni targeted Akbar through sarcastic poems and said that this attitude was annoying Muslims.
Historians believe that by this time Akbar’s religious views had changed. He was moving towards “human religion” instead of believing in one religion. This was the period when he laid the foundation of Deen-e-Ilahi. Akbar started considering himself as an messenger of Allah.
Mullas reacted sharply to this attitude of Akbar
The Mullas reacted sharply to this attitude of Akbar. Many issued fatwa against him and even planned to put his brother Hakim Mirza on the throne. Due to this controversy, Akbar stopped Ajmer trips.
However, he did not completely break his relationship with Ajmer. In 1580, Akbar appointed Abdurrahim Khankhana as Nazim of Ajmer and sent his son Mirza Danial to the dargah in the same year. Danial distributed Rs 25,000 to Faqirs there. Later Akbar’s wife Salima Begum and her sisters also reached Ajmer, who brought Shahzada Salim to Agra with security.
Historians believe that after 1579, Akbar’s focus was focused on strengthening his new ideas and power after 1579. This was the reason that he completely stopped traveling to Ajmer.
