The current study analyzes the worldview of the Din-i-Ilahi and its effect on Indian painting over Akbar Shah era. Akbar Shah founded “Din-i-Ilahi” aiming at the toleration and integration of Indian society. This approach of Akbar Shah resulted in the solidarity as well as the political and ideological unity of the (Indian) subcontinent and a new definition of the concept of culture and art was established in the land of India parallel to these developments. Given the conditions governing this era, a free space was provided for various schools of painting to be influenced by each other, besides the emergence of a turning point in Indian painting and illustration; hence, the works illustrated in this era are mentioned as an independent school of art in the history of Indian art. The present research is aimed at answering the question: What was the reflection of the Din-i-Ilahi on Indian painting during Akbar Shah era? This research takes the advantage of a descriptive-analytical method and the analysis of the visual and content characteristics besides the investigation of the research hypothesis is performed by qualitative method. Based on the results of the analysis of this period’s illustrated works, the Indian painting’s indigenous characteristics along with Iranian-Islamic features, as well as the western elements were harmoniously mixed together in a familiar way. Accordingly, the themes of Iranian culture, Indian symbolism, and Western perspective and naturalism led to the emergence of an acceptable unity in the paintings, resulting in the emergence of a unique and original school. Thus, as a universal language, art may be an interface to reveal the world’s solidarity in different forms, just as Akbar Shah who used the art capacity in the best way to make the subcontinent integrated and cohesive.

Islam is the religion of peace. Just and sustainable peace is regarded as the
absolute goodness, and war as the evil. Unjust and unsustainable peace is considered
as relative goodness. Orthodox Christianity has assigned a priority to peace, too.
Making peace with God is the basis of sustainable peace, and this is the spirit of
divine religions. When a person makes peace with his God, he is in true lasting
peace with himself, the whole of mankind, and the universe. He even avoids bitter
conflict with his enemies, and tries to turn hostility into tenderness in the light of
wisdom, pleasant preaching, and disputation in the best manner. He also tries to
establish human’s life on the basis of justice and beneficence. In this paper, our
criterion is not wars that some religious people have waged in the name of religion,
but is original religious texts – including Quran and Bible – and beliefs of sincere
Muslims and orthodox Christianity, which are the requisite for rationality.

Considering the belief that first, there is no god other than God and secondly, man’s reality and nature are subject to no change, religion can be defined as a way shown by God to provide man with guidance, and its constitution and even most of its details must be constant. It is possible to assume that all heavenly religions have common and fixed realities in three realms; beliefs, morality and precepts, in order to foster relationship with their common nature and invariable aspects. Resting on this argument, this paper investigates these realities and their role, and gives examples to illustrate this point, to sum up, although we cannot affirm the legitimacy of religion by merely relying on the existence of such common features in religion, lacking in them can result in the falsity and deviation of that religion. In other words, the common realities in the three realms; namely beliefs, morality and precepts characterize all heavenly religions. Making an investigation into these realms not only has noticeable effects on the question of the legitimacy of religion, but also on the definition of religion and the dialogues between religions.

Mahatma Gandhi, the charismatic leader of India’s independence movement, who played a great role in religious, moral, social and political awakening of Indians in the early twentieth century, was extremely impressed by religious, moral and mystical motivations. Therefore, he was entitled Mahatma (The Great Soul) by Indian society, which is considered a mystical and religious award. In his point of view, religion had a fundamental status. Consequently, the critical viewpoints against religion in the modern world greatly concerned him and later on, brought about his religious and social reformative thoughts. In his opinion, religion was more comprehensible in practice and experience; hence, he thought that man must pass through superficial aspects of religion by practicing all religious and moral instructions, then penetrates into its depths, so that he would experience the Truth face to face. In this article, we have tried to clarify the religious dimensions of his personality, and also scrutinize simultaneously his most significant ideas and reflections on religious realm, specially on Hinduism and some subjects such as God, faith, Brahmacharya, Ahimsā, satyāgraha, unity of religions and religious reformations.
