The town is named after the Sufi saint Makhdum Abdul Rashid Haqqani who founded this town in the 11th century. Makhdum Abdul Rashid Haqqani His father's name was Makhdoom Ahmad Ghous, from Banu Asad tribe. He was elder first cousin and brother in law of Baha-ud-din Zakariya.

He was a disciple of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, a Sufi saint who is credited with bringing Islam to the Kashmir valley.

Haqqani's urs festival is held throughout the month of 'haar' (June) and attracts pilgrims from other areas. A well near the mausoleum is said to produce water only during the month of haar. It is believed that its water cures physical and spiritual diseases. The origin of this belief is a story that Haqqani suffered from disease and after recovering threw the remaining medicine into the well.

The mausoleum and adjacent unique five-dome mosque, reportedly one of two mosques of its type in the world, displays finest Multani art "Blue Pottery". File:Family Makhdum Rashid Tree.jpg
