★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A historic Mosque located inside the Qutb Complex. Its construction, design and sculpting is marvelous and represents the complex craftsmanship of people of that time. It is supposedly among the first mosques to be built in India. The place is neatly maintained.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Qutub Minar is a towering 73 meter high tower built by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak in 1193. The tower was built to celebrate Muslim dominance in Delhi after the defeat of Delhi's last Hindu ruler. ... The first three storeys of the Qutub Minar are made of red sandstone and the last two are made of marble and sandstone.

The design and construction still has no challange accross the world
But it is unfortunate that Delhi Govt and Waqf Board are not caring of this monument.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The ruins of India's first mosque, erected approximately 1200 CE, are housed in this fascinating complex. The complex of buildings, towers, minarets, and crumbling ruins offers both a historical education and a picture opportunity. Although the area might be somewhat crowded, it is quite large, so you can walk around in solitude. should not be overlooked There is a cost to enter.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is located in Qutub minar campus. Quwwat-ul-Islam was sponsored by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, founder of the Mamluk dynasty. Altamash built his own tomb, the first to be erected for the Delhi Sultanate.
Despite the presence of Muslim craftsman, the tomb is mostly Hindu in design if not in execution. Much of the superstructure and most of the walls are built of pillaged building material. Altamash's body was laid to rest in a subterranean chamber beneath the tomb.
Ticket is 40₹ per person.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ KNOWN AS THE QUWWATUL-ISLAM (MIGHT OF ISLAM'") MASJID, IT IS THE EARLIEST EXTANT MOSQUE IN INDIA. IT CONSISTS OF A RECTANGULAR COURTYARD, 43.2 M. BY 32.9 M., ENCLOSED BY CLOISTERS WHICH WERE ERECTED BY QUTBUDDIN AIBAK WITH THE CARVED COLUMNS AND OTHER ARCHITECTURAL MEMBERS OF TWENTY-SEVEN HINDU AND JAIN TEMPLES.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF MOSQUE WAS BEGUN IN A.D. 1193 BY QUTBUDDIN AIBAK OF THE MAMLUK DYNASTY AND COMPLETED IN A.D. 1197. A MASSIVE STONE SCREEN OF LOFTY FIVE ARCHES WAS PUT UP IN FRONT OF ITS PRAYER HALL WHICH IMPARTED AN ISLAMIC CHARACTER TO THE BUILDING. THE SCREEN IS BEAUTIFULLY CARVED WITH BORDERS OF INSCRIPTIONS AND GEOMETRICAL AND ARABESQUE DESIGNS, BUT THE HAND OF CRAFTSMEN USED TO HINDU MOTIFS IS NONETHELESS CLEAR IN NATURALISTIC CURVED LINES.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THE MOSQUE WAS ENLARGED BY TWO LATER RULERS, SHAMSUDDIN ILTUTMISH (A.D. 1211-36) AND ALAUDDIN KHALJI (A.D. 1296-1316). THE SCREENS OF THESE TWO SULTANS ARE CARVED WITH PURELY ISLAMIC MOTIFS ABOUNDING IN GEOMETRIC PATTERNS.
