WI: Din-e-Ilahi becomes a widely-followed religion

So, Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar, the emperor of the Mughal Empire, and perhaps the first truly Indian Mughal Emperor, created his own religion. It was a syncretism of Hinduism, Sufi Islam, Jainism, and even contained some Catholic and Jain elements. Specifically, it contained the Sufi Muslim practice of purifying the soul through devotion to God, the Catholic practice of encouraging celibacy, the Jain practice of forbidding animal slaughter, the Zoroastrian practice of worshipping light from such sources as the Sun and fire, and the Hindu practice of reciting the one thousand names of the sun. It was also a cult of the emperor, with some speculation of Akbar being a prophet of God, and there is some evidence that prayers such as allahu akbar were taken to mean "God is Akbar" rather than "God is great". The faith was relatively fluid, with many adherents still adhering to Hinduism and Islam, and seems to have been more philosophical than religious. However, it was an elite religion, it never had more than nineteen adherents, and it died with Akbar.

Now, this religion was seen quite negatively by many contemporaries, and most sources see it as a negative act by Akbar. But let's say that Akbar lives longer, long enough to convert other members of the elite to his religion and long enough for him to have ordered books on the religion to be written, and creates a sufficient base for it to outlast him. Eventually it grows and Din-e-Ilahi practices seep into Hinduism and Indian Islam. What happens next? Such a religion would unite India, and create a more modern and firm school of Indian philosophy, strengthening the Mughal Empire to the point that, perhaps, it may never collapse and Indo-Persian thought and culture may be a more permanent and prominent entity and tendency in India.

Thoughts?
