* Qutub: The Point, a book by Andrew D. Chumbley

Chumbley addressed these themes, citing Shah's work, in his book Qutub: The Point ( 1995 ).

Michael Staley, a senior member of the Typhonian OTO and editor of Starfire Magazine, described the Qabalistic concept of the book as follows: " Qutub is the Point.

Such too was the pattern of their lives, and one followed by 100 of the 150 or so male descendants of Mulla Qutub al-Din born before 1900, about whose activities we have some evidence.

* Andrew D. Chumbley, " Qutub " ( Xoanon ), 1995.

Hyderabad is known for its famous historical monuments such as Charminar, Mecca Masjid, Golconda Fort, Falaknuma Palace, Qutub Shahi Tombs, and Birla Mandir.

In all, Islamic fanatic ruler Qutb-ud-din Aibak destroyed 27 Hindu and jain temples and reused the building materials for construction of Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque and the Qutub Minar according to a Persian inscription still on the inner eastern gateway

After an accident involving school children, entry to the Qutub Minar is closed to public since 1981, while Qutub archaeological area remains open for public.

The Qutub Minar was built simultaneously with the mosque but appears to be a stand alone structure, built as the ' Minar of Jami Masjid ', for the muezzin to perform adhan, call for prayer, and also as a qutb, an Axis or Pole of Islam.

While the couplets that come down from him are representative of a latter-Prakrit Hindi bereft of Arabo-Persian vocabulary, his influence on court viziers and writers must have been transcendental, for a century after his death Quli Qutub Shah was considered speaking a language that might have possibly been Urdu.

While laying the foundation stone of Charminar, Mohammed Quli Qutub Shah and his wife prayed for welfare of the people in their contemplated new city.

It is thought to have been a direct inspiration for the Qutub Minar in Delhi, which was also built by the Ghurid Dynasty.

The Qutb complex is today a UNESCO world heritage site., and also the venue for the annual Qutub Festival.

Mausoleum of 13th century, Sufi saint, Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki is also situated near the Qutub Minar Complex, and the venue for the annual Phoolwalon-ki-sair Festival.

Subsequently when Bhagyanagar was founded by Sultan Abdulla of Qutub Shahi in AD 1560 the rights of the Yadavas were acknowledged and recognized, and the name Golkonda was substituted for Manugal.

The twenty chiefs marched behind the elephant and this procession then passed through the streets of Delhi, and headed for the mausoleum of Bahadur Shah, near the Qutub Minar.

A second printing of Qutub, in two editions, was issued by Xoanon in March 2009.

Qutub Minar is the world's tallest brick minaret, commenced by Qutb-ud-din Aybak of the Slave dynasty.

Aibak began the construction of Qutub Minar, which was completed by Iltutmish, his successor and son-in-law.

It is the only piece of the Hindu temple remaining, which stood there before being destroyed by Qutb-ud-din Aybak to build the Qutub Minar and Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque.

It was repaired by Major R. Smith of the Royal Engineers who restored the Qutub Minar in 1223 replacing the cupola with a Bengali-style chhatri which was later removed by Governor General, Lord Hardinge in 1848, as it looked out of place, and now stands in the outer lawns of the complex, popularly known as Smith's Folly.

* The World heritage complex of the Qutub, by R. Balasubramaniam.

It is surrounded by several other ancient and medieval structures and ruins, collectively known as Qutub complex.

Inspired by the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan and wishing to surpass it, the first ruler of the Delhi sultanate, commenced construction of the Qutub Minar in 7890 ; but conical shafts, separated by balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels.

The Qutub Minar comprises several superposed flanged and cylindrical shafts, separated by balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels.

Many historians believe that the Qutub Minar was named after the first Turkic sultan ( whose descendant-Wajid Ali Shah-repaired it ), Qutub-ud-din Aibak, but others contend that it was named in honour of Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, a saint from Transoxiana who came to live in India and was greatly venerated by Iltutmish.

The original name was " Bhaganagar " which was put by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah after the name of his beloved wife Bhagmati and was changed to Hyderabad after she converted to Islam with changed name as " Hyder Mahal " in 1605 AD.

History of the Quli Qutub Shah period is available in various books compiled by various authors book especially by Sri S. A. Bilgrami in his book " Land Marks of the Deccan " etc ...

Kankaria is the biggest lake in Ahmedabad ( in earliar days it used to be known by the name " Qutub Hojj " or " Hauj-e-Kutub ").

In 12-century Jain scriptures, the place is also mentioned as Yogninipura, now noticeable by the presence of the famous, " Yogmaya Temple ", near the Qutub Minar complex, believed to be built by the Pandavas.

The most visible piece of architecture remains the Qutb complex which was initiated by Qutub ud din Aybak with subsequent additions by Iltutmish and Alauddin Khilji.

Consolidated by Mulla Nizam-al-Din ( died 1748 ), the third of Mulla Qutub al-Din ’ s four sons, the tendency of the curriculum was to focus attention on the meaning of scripture and the classical sources rather than their literal content, because it took much less time than the established systems of learning, a really able student could complete his studies by the time he was sixteen or seventeen.

Some say that Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah called architects from Iran to lay out the city, which was built on a grid plan.

After the Qutub Minar in Delhi, India, which it inspired, the Minaret of Jam is the second-tallest brick minaret in the world.

The fortified structure, which surrounds the tomb and the inner chamber ( crypt ) of the tomb itself, are one of finest examples of Mamluk dynasty architecture, which also include the Qutub Minar in Mehrauli.

His poetry has been compiled into a dewan or volume entitled " Kulliyat-e-Quli Qutub Shah.

" Muhammed Quli Qutub Shah had the distinction of being the first Saheb-e-dewan Urdu poet and is credited with introducing a new sensibility into prevailing genres of Persian / Urdu poetry.

The Qutub Minar is constructed with red sandstone and marble, and is the tallest minaret in India, with a height of 72. 5 metres ( 237. 8 ft ).

One engraving on the Qutub Minar reads, " Shri Vishwakarma prasade rachita " ( Conceived with the grace of Vishwakarma.

It is on a campus with buildings ranging from the modern to the Qutub Shahi style of architecture.

Its patriarch, Mulla Qutub ’ u-Din ( d. 1691 ), had retained close ties with the Delhi court and, with his sons, had participated in the collection of the Fatwa-yi ‘ Alamgiri.

When Qutub ’ ud-Din was killed in a land dispute with a family of rival shaiks, the emperor punished his opponents and generously compensated his sons, two of whom had accompanied him on his campaign to the Deccan.
