Chaudhary Abdul Rehman Khan, Rana of Rahon and Chief of the Ghorewaha Tribe. Son of Chaudhary Ameer Muhammad Khan, his ancestor Rana Udho Singh was awarded the jagir of Rahon for his services in capturing Bairam Khan for Emperor Akbar.

Rana Tikka Pahlwan kept the principal jagir, while his younger brother took the remainder and became Rana of Jadla.

Chaudhary Abdul Rehman Khan would serve as Member Punjab Legislative assembly until partition in 1947 where after he was forced to leave the place he called home.

He helped develop Rahon by giving the fort of Rana Udho to build one of the first schools of Rahon and funded the first train station of Rahon.

He is fondly remembered today in Rahon as a developer who helped modernise Rahon.

He died in 1952. He is buried in Miani Sahib in Lahore.

The haveli of Chaudhary Abdul Rehman Khan,the Rana of Rahon jagir, one of his many residences in Rahon. 

He shifted into this haveli after giving the fort of Rana Udho, his ancestor who had originally got the jagir of Rahon from Emperor Akbar, to be repurposed for a school and police station to be built.

Rana Fazlur Rehman Mahmood - 14th Rana of Rahon, 1st Rana of Rehmanabad

Rana Fazlur Rehman Mahmood was the eldest son of Chaudhary Abdul Rehman Khan, the last Rana of Rahon jagir.

Rana Fazlur Rehman Mahmood was born in 1932 and spent his childhood in Rahon. In honour of his birth, Chaudhary Abdul Rehman Khan had ordered a forest to be grown on 500 acres so they would grow up along with him in time. However, partition swept it away.

Before partition, he had memories of playing in the gardens of the Maharaja of Kapurthala who was a friend of the Rana of Rahon, and his father socialising with the Royal family of Bahawalphur and Kalat.

After partition, his father, Chaudhary Abdul Rehman Khan died in 1952 when he was 19 years old. Having lost both his father, home and jagir, he never gave up and sought to preserve the family in his new homeland.

He married the daughter of the Rai of Talwan, Rai Amir Habibullah Khan Saadi.

He trained to become a lawyer, and settled the family in Rehmanabad near Khanqa Dogran where he remained active in politics and community life of Rehmanabad. He died in 1992 and is buried in Rehmanabad next to the Rani of Rahon. Today, the village of Rehmanabad and Rana Fazlur Rehman Mahmood road is named after him where people remember his bravery, works for development and iron-will. 

Denied by partition's history to succeed as Rana of Rahon, he honoured the values and skills his ancestors had for which they got the jagir of Rahon for by becoming Rana of Rehmanabad in his own right in a new homeland.

The legacy of the Rana of Rahon lives on in Mujtaba Jamal Chaudhry, heir and successor of Rana Fazlur Rehman Mahmood, and grandson of Chaudhary Abdul Rehman Khan, who is still active in Rehmanabad today.
