History of Qutub Minar -
Qutb-ud-Din Aibak started the construction of Qutub Minar in 1199 AD, which was then the founder of Delhi Sultanate. In order to complete the Qutub Minar, successor Aibak built three more minarets in it.
The name of Qutub Minar is named after the Sultanate Qutb-ud-Din Aibak of Delhi, and Bakhtiyar Kaki, who created it, was a Sufi saint. It is said that the architecture of Qutub Minar was built in India before the arrival of Turkey. But in the history of Qutub Minar, we do not get any documents in history. But according to the alleged facts, it was built by being inspired by Rajput Minars. In Parsi-Arabic and civil languages, we also see some parts of the history of Qutub Minar. Whatever historical information is available regarding the Qutub Minar, it is found from Feroz Shah Tughlaq (1351-89) and Sikandar Lodi (1489-1517).
The Kuvwat-ul-Islam Mosque is also situated in the north of the Qutub Minar, which was built by Qutb-ud-Din Aibak in 1192. This very ancient mosque of the Indian subcontinent is considered. But after some time Elmumish (1210-35) and Ala-ud-din Khilji developed the mosque.
In 1368 AD, the upper floor of the tower was damaged due to lightning falling and later the Feroz Shah Tughlaq rebuilt it. Simultaneously, Feroz Shah built 2 more floors from white marble. In 1505, due to an earthquake, the Qutub Minar was severely damaged and the damage caused by Sikander Lodi was later corrected. Another earthquake occurred on 1 August 1903, and again damaged the Qutub Minar, but then Major Robert Smith of the British Indian Army cured him in 1928, as well as a dome on the top of the Qutub Minar. But later on the say of the Governor General of Pakistan, Lord Harding, this dome was removed and it was placed in the east of the Qutub Minar.
