Muqabil Khan
Muqabil Khan (Bengali: মুকাবিল খান, Persian: مقابل خان), also known as Maqbul Khan (Bengali: মকবুল খান, Persian: مقبول خان), was a wazir and sar-e-lashkar of Srihat (Sylhet) in 1440.[1] He was the wazir of Sylhet in 1440 during the reign of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah of the restored Ilyas Shahi dynasty.[2] It is unknown when Khan's office started and how long he was wazir for. After his death, he was buried in the dargah of Shah Jalal, to the west of Jalal's tomb.[3] There is a gap between Haydar Ghazi, wazir of Sylhet in the mid-fourteenth century, and Khan as the governors of Sylhet during that time is unknown. The next known successor of Muqabil Khan was Khurshid Khan who governed Sylhet in the 1460s.
