Answer:

True, Iltutmish was a slave of Qutab-ud-din Aibak.

Explanation:  

But he soon 'rose to a high position' because of his ability. He pleased his Turkish nobles by allowing them grants of Jagirs. He introduced the 'Iqta system.' Under this system, the land was assigned to nobles and others in lieu of salary. He also introduced silver coins called 'Tanka' and copper coins called 'jital.' These coins were used throughout the Sultanate period.
