Qutbuddin Aibak, the founder of the Slave Dynasty, earned the title “Qurankhwa” due to his deep devotion to the Quran and his practice of reciting it frequently. Known for his generosity and humility, he supported scholars, built mosques and encouraged religious learning. Although a skilled general and administrator, he remained personally modest and spiritually inclined, which enhanced his reputation among contemporaries. His pious nature contrasted with the turbulent political environment of the time. This title reflected both his character and his commitment to Islamic learning, making him a respected figure in medieval Indian history.
