Sultan Shahabud Din Muhammad Ghori was issueless. After establishing a big Muslim state in the sub-continent, the Sultan appointed Qutabud Din Aibak (his able and prudent slave who took his adopted son) as his successor on 602 A.H, 1206 A.D. His coronation ceremony was held at Lahore with all pomp and show and was attended by all, particularly by the Muslims. Aibak was the first living resident Muslim Sultan for the Sub-Continent. That was certainly a crucial period, Muslims had to prove themselves better and braver over the Hindus in every aspect and discipline of life. He was the first Muslim Sultan to reside in Delhi.
