QuwwatulIslam

QuwwatulIslam is a transliteration of the Arabic phrase Quwwat al-Islam (or Quwwat-ul-Islam), meaning "Power/Strength of Islam." It has been used as a motto and as a proper name for religious and political institutions in the Muslim world, particularly in the Indian subcontinent. The most prominent historical use is in the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque in Delhi, built in the late 12th century under the early Delhi Sultanate ruler Qutb-ud-din Aibak as part of the Qutb Minar complex. The mosque's name reflects the ideology of establishing Islamic prestige and military power in the region at that time. The term has also appeared in other historical and contemporary contexts as a toponym or organizational name, though there is no single entity universally identified by this exact title.

In modern times, variants of the name may be adopted by religious schools, charitable organizations, or political groups, particularly in South Asia. Because the phrase is generic and translates to a slogan rather than a unique identifier, identifying a specific organization requires additional context such as location, founding date, or affiliated individuals.
