B. Muhammad of Ghor
C. Qutb-ud-din Aibak
D. Iltutmish

💡 Solution & Explanation

Isami composed the Persian poetic chronicle Futuh-us-Salatin in 1350 CE, dedicating it to the Bahmani kingdom founder Ala-ud-din Bahman Shah, and tracing Muslim conquests starting from Mahmud of Ghazni. Other historical milestones like the invasions of Muhammad of Ghor or the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate under Aibak represent later stages covered within the broader narrative arc. This literary work remains an invaluable primary source for the Sultanate period. Isami completed this composition while residing in the Deccan under patronage.
