Rasul village is one of the important historical village in District mbdin. Village Rasul was established by Raja Raam. Raja Raam was brother of Raja Moga, who established village Mong which is 6 kms in the south east of village Rasul and opposite to village Darapur. As both villages Rasul and Mong were established by real brothers, even hundreds years has been passed but Rasul is called as Mong Rasul. It is assumed that village Rasul is a branch of village Mong. Village Rasul has historical importance as well. Rasul was Head quarter of Sher Singh when the famous battle between British and Sikhs was fought at Chailianwala. Here is a Bargad (Bodh) tree which has been planted from the branch of an old Bargad tree. Government has placed marble board under this tree which demonstrates that Sher Singh’s army stopped over here.
There are also ruins of an old mosque here. There was plank placed on this mosque which was uprooted by the British Deputy Commissioner Mr. E.C. Belly. According to this plank this mosque was constructed in 1000 Hijri.
