Jallah Jeem is located in the Indus Valley near the city of Multan in central Pakistan. The area around the city is a flat, alluvial plain. The canals which cut across the tehsil provide irrigation. The Indus Water Treaty sold the water in the Sutlej river to India. The reduced water flow in the river had a pronounced effect on the flora and fauna of the area. The Jallah and Mailsi Siphon was built to control the water flow in the Sidhnai Link Canal and Sutlej river under the treaty. Jallah Jeem has an arid climate with hot summers and mild winters. It has some of the most extreme weather in the country. The highest recorded temperature is 54 °C (129 °F), and the lowest recorded temperature is −1 °C (30.2 °F).

Long before the time of Emperor Akbar (Mughals), the Hindu state of Hakkara ruled the north-west of the State of Bahawalpur on the banks of the Sutlej River. His capital was Hakkara (Jallah Jeem). The conflict between the state of Bahawalpur and Hakkara was based on religion. Fatehpur was also a part of the same Hakkara state. A long time ago, Fateh Khan Joya from Bahawalpur conquered a part of Hakkara, after him the name of this area became known as Fatehpur and later the state of Hakkara was merged into India. During the Mughal era (1526-1857), the state got the status of parganah (parganah Hakarah). Earlier Jalla Jeem was called "Parganah Hakkara". The word "Parganah" was associated with today's tehsil and "Hakkara" because it was a tributary of the river Sutlej to which this area belonged, hence the area was called "Parganah Hakkara". Mian Jalaluddin was a political and religious scholar who was appointed in the palace of Akbar Badshah for political and religious consultation. When Emperor Akbar introduced Deen Elahi for political gain and distorted the Islamic ideology, Mian Jalaluddin resisted and finally abdicated his position and joined Mujadadi al-Shani in rebellion. Participating rejected the divine religion. Later, Mian Jalaluddin moved to Lahore and participated politically for the revival of true Islamic ideology. After Akbar's death, King Jahangir realized the unstable political position and feelings of alienation of the Muslim community had shaken the social and political roots, so he actively reorganized to promote Islam. . For this, Shah Jahangir approached Mian Jalaluddin and allotted him "Parganah Hakkara" for the establishment and promotion of Islam. So Mian Jalaluddin along with his family along with his brother Mian Azimuddin migrated to "Parganah Hakkara" and named this area as 'Jalla Jeem'. Here he built a fort to defend the Muslim community and fight against the Hindus, as there was a Hindu-Muslim conflict during Eid al-Adha over the slaughter of a cow. The Hindu-Muslim conflict can be gauged from the seven populated graveyards around Jallah Jeem and most of them bear the names of martyrs, such as Shahwan Shaheed, Gul Chand Shaheed, Ibrahim Jatti Sati etc. Names of localities, streets, places, temples are signs. The Hindu community is known as Gyanthala, Ghaneshpura (Mohalla Osmania) etc. but nowadays the names of the neighborhoods are Vanjarpura, Islampura etc. Near the Badshahi Masjid was an old temple which was demolished in 1992 in response to the Indian Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. , India. There was also a fort built by Fateh Khan here, which gradually lost its name and sign. Jalaluddin's son Mian Ruknuddin built the historical Badshahi Mosque of Jalal Jam in 1058 AD. Jallah jeem (History of Jallah jeem) Badshahi Masjid and other historical mosques are rare examples of architecture. Most of the houses here are made of small bricks. The streets are narrow and crooked. The shrine of Fateh Khan Joya is also located here. This tomb is made of small bricks. Carved bricks are used in its construction and it is dome-shaped. There are two more tombs in the mausoleum compound which are said to belong to Fateh Khan Joya's two brothers Muhammad Khan Joya and Ali Muhammad Joya. There are other graves outside the compound. Gradually this tomb is getting destroyed. Palm trees are common here. People make khaji kawan, safaan and musala. School and health facilities are available for male and female students.[8]
