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.^{[citation needed]}
