Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque

Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque (might of Islam) (also known as the Qutub Mosque or the Great Mosque of Delhi) or Qubbat-ul- Islam mosque (Dome of Islam) was built by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, founder of the Mamluk or Slave dynasty. It was the first mosque built in Delhi after the Islamic conquest of India and the oldest surviving example of Ghurids architecture in Indian subcontinent.

 

The construction of this Jami Masjid (Friday Mosque), started in the year 1193 AD, when Aibak was the commander of Muhammad Ghori's garrison that occupied Delhi.
