Qutbuddin Aibak was affectionately called “Hatimtai II” by the historian Minhaj-us-Siraj, who admired the Sultan’s unmatched generosity. Hatimtai, a celebrated Arab personality, was famous for extreme charity and Aibak’s liberal donations to scholars, poets, poor subjects and religious institutions reminded Minhaj of this legendary figure. Aibak’s philanthropy enhanced his moral authority and popularity among people. Even after ascending the throne, he maintained his humble, benevolent nature. Minhaj’s comparison emphasizes how deeply Aibak’s kindness influenced contemporary society and contributed to the favorable historical image of the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty.
