Delhi

Delhi, in northern India, was the capital of the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526) and later of the Mughal Empire, and a major centre of Islamic learning and Sufism in South Asia. The theologian and hadith scholar Shah Wali Allah al-Dihlawi (d. 1762) was born and taught there; the traveller Ibn Battuta served as a qadi in the city under the sultan Muhammad ibn Tughluq.
