Answer:
Sulh-i-kul as describe by Abul Fazi was absolute peace as the corner stone of enlightened rule. Mughal chronicles present the empire as comprising many different ethnic and religious communities - Hindus, Jainas, Zoroastrians and Muslims. As the source of all peace and stability the emperor stored above all religions and ethnic groups, mediated among them, and ensured that justice and peace prevailed.
In Sulh-i-kul all religions and schools of thought had freedom of expression but on condition that they did not undermine the authority of state or fight among themselves.
The idea of Sulh-i-kul was implemented through state policies in which nobilities comprising of Iranis, Turanis, Afgans, Rajputs, Deccan is all of whom were given positions and awards purely on the basis of their service and loyalty to the king. Akbar abolished the tax of pilgrimage in 1563 and Jizya in 1564 as the two were based on religious discrimination for which instructions were sent to officers of the empire to follow the precept of Sulh-i-kul in administration.
All Mughal emperors gave grants to support the building and maintenance of places of worship.
