Explanation:

Qutb al-Din Aibak, a former slave of Muizz-ud-Din Muhammad Ghori (Muhammad of Ghor), was the first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. Qutb al-Din Aibak initiated the construction of the Qutub Minar and the Quwwat-ul-Islam (Might of Islam) Mosque, now a UNESCO world heritage site. The Qutub Minar Complex or Qutb Complex was expanded by Iltutmish, and later by Ala ud-Din Khalji (the second ruler of the Khalji dynasty) in the early 14th century.
