Muhammad of Ghor

Mu'izz al-Din Muhammad ibn Sam (1149–1206 CE), known as Muhammad of Ghor, was the Ghurid sultan whose conquests in northern India laid the foundations of the Delhi Sultanate. His victory at the Second Battle of Tarain (1192) established a permanent Muslim presence in the subcontinent.

Qutb ud-Din Aibak (d. 607 AH / 1210 CE) was the Turkish slave-commander who governed the Ghurid conquests in northern India for Mu'izz al-Din Muhammad of Ghor and, after his master's death, ruled from Lahore as the first sultan of the line that became the Delhi Sultanate.
