Ashfaqullah was a member of the revolutionary group whose leader was Ramprasad Bismil. He was the best friend of Ramprasad Bismil who also belonged to Shahjahanpur.
Ramprasad Bismil was a Aryasamaji whereas Ashfaqullah Khan was a devout Muslim. They were so devoted to the cause of the nation that their religion did not come in the way of their firm resolve to make India a free country.
