“Quwwat-ul-Islam” Mosque was built by

Qutub-ud-din-Aibak
Alauddin Khalji
Iltutmish
Mohammad Adilshah

The correct answer is: A. Qutub-ud-din-Aibak

Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is a mosque in Delhi, India. It was built by Qutub-ud-din-Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, in 1192. It is the earliest mosque in India built entirely in stone. The mosque is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Qutub-ud-din-Aibak was a Turkish slave who came to India with Muhammad Ghori. He was appointed the governor of Punjab by Ghori. After Ghori’s death in 1206, Qutub-ud-din-Aibak declared himself the Sultan of Delhi and founded the Mamluk dynasty.

Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque was built on the site of a Hindu temple. The mosque is made up of a series of columns and arches that were taken from Hindu and Jain temples. The mosque also has a minar, which is a tall tower that is used for calling the faithful to prayer.

Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is an important example of early Islamic architecture in India. It is a reminder of the Muslim conquest of India and the integration of Hindu and Islamic cultures.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Alauddin Khalji was the second ruler of the Khalji dynasty. He ruled from 1296 to 1316.
  • Iltutmish was the third ruler of the Mamluk dynasty. He ruled from 1211 to 1236.
  • Mohammad Adilshah was the sixth sultan of the Adilshahi dynasty of Bijapur. He ruled from 1558 to 1627.
