Question Asked : MPPCS (Pre) 1991
Akbar ordered the construction of Ibadat Khana in 1575 for holding a philosophical and theological discussion with Ulemas, Sayyids, Shaikhs. But he opened the doors of Ibadat Khana for all schools of religion in 1578. These religious discussions in Ibadat Khana led to the declaration of Mahzarnama in 1579. Mahzamama put an end to the predominance of the bigoted Orthodox and allowed the free development of the generous spirit which Akbar wished to encourage. This document was signed by Ulemas. Mahzamama is stated as infallibility decree by Smith Woolsey Rage. Akbar was titled with Sultan-i-Adil or Imam-i-Adil after the issue of Mazahar.
