Shafiqullah Khan and his younger brother Rafiqullah Khan both learned music from their father Kifayat Khan and from their uncle Keramatullah Khan. After Keramatullah´s demise in 1933 Shafiqullah took over the training of Keramatullah´s son Ishtiaque Ahmed Khan. These two photos above from „The Indian Listener“ are the only known photos of Shafiqullah Khan. He used to play sitar with two mizrabs and recorded one 78RPM disc (H.57) with Raags Brindabani Sarang and Kafi.
