He issued infallibility Decree but it was not as heretical a step as it was made out to be, because his decreed were based on the 5 fiqhs. Although, it is said, that he proclaimed his version of a universal religion which he called the 'Din-i-ilahi' although there is no contemporary evidence of this proclamation.

Matters became complicated when one Mulla Yazdi declared Akbar to be an apostate, for which he was put to death by the latter.
