Quwwatu'l-Islam Masjid

The mosque known as Quwwatu'l-Islam Masjid adjacent to the tower is believed to have been built using the carved stone slabs and materials of the remains of Hindu Temples and architecture. The delicate brocade designs and Islamic inscription adorn this structure. Its pillars have clearly Hindu motifs and are believed to have been taken from the 27 temples of Qila Rai Pithora, the city of the Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan. In the inscriptions belonging to the times of Qutub-ud-Din, this mosque is mentioned by the name of Jami Masjid or Friday Mosque. Started in 1192 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak, it was completed in four years.
