The 'Hauz-i-Shamsi' is a water reservoir built by Shams ud-Din Iltutmish in Mehrauli, Delhi, to supply water to the city.

Qutb ud-Din Aibak ruled from Lahore, which served as his capital throughout his short reign.

The powerful Turkish nobles, known as the Chahalgani, conspired against Razia because they refused to accept a woman as their sovereign and disliked her non-Turkish appointments.

Iltutmish made the monarchy hereditary by nominating his daughter Razia as his successor, departing from the tradition of election by nobles.

Qutb ud-Din Aibak was a trusted slave and general of Muhammad Ghori, who left him in charge of his Indian conquests.

The Slave Dynasty was succeeded by the Khilji Dynasty (1290–1320) after Jalaluddin Khilji overthrew the last Slave ruler.

After suppressing the rebellion in Bengal, Iltutmish appointed Malik Jani as the governor of Bengal.

The tomb of Balban is located in the Mehrauli Archaeological Park in Delhi. It is significant for featuring the first true arch in Indo-Islamic architecture.

Iltutmish diplomatically refused to give asylum to Jalaluddin Mangbarani, the Khwarezm Shah, thereby preventing Chengiz Khan from invading India.

The Qutub Minar was named after the famous Sufi saint Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki, who was highly revered by Qutb ud-Din Aibak and Iltutmish.
